Elie Seckbach, the Embedded Correspondent, brings his exclusive video reporting to FanHouse. Check back regularly for more videos. On Feb. 19 at the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas, an HBO-televised clash will be promoted by Top Rank Promotions featuring WBA interim super flyweight (115 pounds) titlist Nonito Donaire (25-1, 17 knockouts) of the Philippines and WBO and WBC bantamweight (118 pounds) king Fernando Montiel (44-2-2, 34 KOs) of Mexico.
Top Rank Promotions' CEO, Bob Arum, considers Donaire to be the No. 2 fighter from the Philippines behind eight-division titlist Manny Pacquiao (52-3-2, 38 KOs), who is also holder of both the WBO welterweight (147 pounds) and junior middleweight (154 pounds) titles.
Pacquiao (pictured above, at right) has a May 7 defense of WBO belt opposite three-division, five-time titlist Shane Mosley (46-6-1, 39 KOs) that is slated for the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas.
But will boxing fans ever see Pacquiao or Donaire on the same cards together?
