Donaire expects to face off with Inoue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been in boxing for a long, long time,\u201d said Donaire&#8217;s trainer, 78-year-old Kenny Adams, who has worked with multiple Olympians and world champions. \u201cBut of all the champions I\u2019ve had, this is the hardest working guy that you\u2019re ever going to find.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m a disciplinarian,\u201d said Adams. \u201cI served in the US Army for 30 years in the Airborne Division. I have worked with the 1984 and 1988 American Olympic Team, I have trained the United States Army team, but nothing compares to the work rate of Nonito.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s very disciplined when it comes to taking care of his body and I attribute that to the support his family gives him. His wife Rachel really works hard at giving Nonito everything he needs to succeed. It\u2019s a family thing. That\u2019s what makes him so strong and I\u2019m proud to be part of his family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a-uWiAlOIeE\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>36-year-old Donaire has told that the WBSS is making him 20 years younger. He is thriving under the Ali Trophy lights, Adams told. \u201cThe WBSS is great for boxing. It\u2019s put the sport on a pedestal and it\u2019s a great platform for Nonito. It suits his personality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Donaire might be a veteran of the professional boxing game, but the \u2018Filipino Flash\u2019 looked to be in his prime when he caught No. 5 contender Stephon Young with a devastating left hook and ended the bout at 2:37 of the sixth round to retain his WBA-title and advance to the final.<\/p>\n<p>Young went down hard, and Donaire went up on the ropes to celebrate his win with the crowd at the Cajundome in Lafayette, LA, USA. Just three days before Donaire\u2019s original opponent Zolani Tete, the WBO champion, had to pull out of the fight with a shoulder injury.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe did have an initial gameplan but it wasn\u2019t enough to solidify, because we didn\u2019t have time to spar or work it out,\u201d said Donaire.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYoung was very skillful and very slick. At the same time, we were trying to land something different and it wasn\u2019t working, so we tried to cut down the distance from the second round to the third round to take away his confidence and take away his game plan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Donaire will now fight the winner of the Naoya Inoue-Emmanuel Rodriguez semi-final on May 18 in Glasgow for the Ali Trophy. And he will be there watching from ringside.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoth guys (Rodriguez and Inoue) are amazing, but there was an unspoken thing with me and (Inoue), and how much I respect him, and I love Japan, as well,\u201d said Donaire. \u201cThere was an unspoken respect and a goal between me and Naoya Inoue that we were going to go to the finals. So he\u2019s always supported me to get to the final, that\u2019s where I\u2019m gonna be supporting him to get to the final so we can face off with each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tickets for the Monster WBSS Semi-Finals night, Ivan Baranchyk vs Josh Taylor and Naoya Inoue vs Emmanuel Rodriguez on 18 May at The SSE Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland are on sale now from TheSSEHydro.com<\/p>\n<p>WBSS Season 2 Semi-Finals:<\/p>\n<p>27 April &#8211; Cajundome, Lafayette, LA, USA<\/p>\n<p>Regis Prograis vs Kiryl Relikh &#8211; Prograis W TKO6<br \/>\nNonito Donaire vs Stephon Young &#8211; Donaire W KO6<br \/>\n18 May &#8211; The SSE Hydro, Glasgow, Scotland<br \/>\nJosh Taylor vs Ivan Baranchyk<br \/>\nNaoya Inoue vs Emmanuel Rodriguez<br \/>\n15 June &#8211; Arena Riga, Riga, Latvia<\/p>\n<p>Mairis Briedis vs Krzysztof Glowacki<br \/>\nYunier Dorticos vs Andrew Tabiti<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/?page_id=79327\" rel=\"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/?page_id=79327\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-79305 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Writers250.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Writers250.jpg 250w, https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Writers250-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[AdSense-A] Nonito Donaire\u2019s trainer, Kenny Adams, praises the \u2018Filipino Flash\u2019 after Saturday\u2019s WBSS semi-final KO victory over Stephon Young.
