Nonito Donaire, one of the oldest active world champions at 39, proves 'he's on a different level.'

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, Philippines – Retired boxing champions were all praises for Nonito Donaire Jr. after his impressive defense of the WBC bantamweight crown by way of a fourth-round stoppage of fellow Filipino challenger Reymart Gaballo under the lights of Carson, California ring on Saturday, December 11 .

And like when he aided his countryman who struggled in English during the pre-fight interviews in the US, Donaire quickly helped out Gaballo who stayed longer on the floor, unable to rise again from the lethal hit, as he grimaced for the first knockout defeat in his young boxing career. Former amateur boxer Roberto “Bobby” Jalnaiz agreed that Donaire still has some tricks left up his sleeves.

earlier that Gaballo’s only chance of winning is if he managed to go the full distance in the 12-round all-Filipino title showdown.
