    GREATEST ASSETS

    ● Fast Hands
    ● Counter Left Hook
    ● Great Movement
    An excellent all round fighter, Nonito Donaire has all the tools that will enable him to have longevity in boxing. Donaire has very fast hand, good defensive movement of upper body and feet, and because of his speed and technique, he also has excellent power in both hands.
    His most notable punch which has developed over the years is his left hook which he utilizes as a counter punch. Donaire has either knocked out, knocked down or hurt many of his opponents with this punch.

    HOW?

    Nonito Donaire has gone from strength to strength while moving up the weight divisions, very much like his fellow Filipino and boxing legend Manny Pacquiao. The difference is, Donaire possesses great technical boxing skills which has launched him into the world pound-for-pound rankings.
    It was during Donaire’s amateur days that he developed his boxing ability. His amateur record was 68-8 (5 TKO’s), which means that power wasn’t his main attribute. However, he has sharpened his accuracy and power in the professional ranks which has made him a sensational fighter. Donaire undergoes an intense training regime, which includes some interesting methods.
    ● Uses a Hypoxicator which is a high altitude simulator used for increasing red blood cells which enables the lungs to take in more oxygen thus improving stamina.
    ● After each workout, he takes the supplements Xtend and Proglycosyn for recovery purposes.
    ● Donaire abandons running for sprints instead, to develop fast-twitch muscle rather than slow-twitch muscle fiber.
    Since working with Victor Conte (supplement specialist), Donaire has taken a more scientific approach to training.
    “ You have to work hard, but you have to work smart as well. Before I met Victor I just did the traditional [workouts]. Now I do a lot of physical training, a lot of strength training. Most of all we’ve done things that are smart. Putting the right stuff in my body, recovery, and knowing that recovering is as hard and as important as training hard.”

  • SERGIO GABRIEL MARTINEZ

    Image
    Born: 21 February 1975
    Birth Place: Avellaneda, Buenos Aires, Argentina
    Nationality: Argentine
    Nickname: Maravilla (Marvellous)
    Division: Welterweight (147lbs) -Middleweight (160lbs)
    Height: 5’ 10” / 178 cm
    Reach: 75″ / 191 cm

    ACCOMPLISHMENTS

    • World Champion in Two Weight Divisions
    • The Ring & BWAA 2010 Fighter of the Year

    GREATEST ASSETS

    • Powerful Straight Left Hand
    • Fast Hands and Feet
    Sergio Martinez is the definition of an unconventional boxer. He fights with hands down by his side and gets away with it because of his quick foot movement to dart in and out of trouble.
    He has power in both hands but his most notable punch is the very fast, powerful and accurate straight left. His ability to control the pace and counter punch effectively makes his opponents think twice before getting close.

    HOW?

    Martinez was a late bloomer and didn’t start boxing until the age of 20. His previous background of cycling and football combined with natural ability set the path for a short but successful amateur career.
    His skills would transcend into the professional ranks where he kept a relatively low profile, fighting against low-medium competition mainly in Argentina and Europe. Since 2008, his popularity steadily rose when he had several notable fights in the USA on HBO Boxing.
    Most recently, Martinez fought Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in which history was made. Martinez suffered a 12thround scare when Chavez Jr. unloaded punches and knocked him dow. However, Martinez’ skill, experience and conditioning from training prepared him to survive such situations.
    • Martinez cannot swim but still stands up on a surfboard to maintain his balance.
    • Instead of running, he goes cycling because it’s his hobby and also causes less strain on the legs as opposed to running.
    • Does no more than 60 rounds of sparring for each fight so it doesn’t wear out his body or cause any short or long term injuries.
    An intelligent individual inside and outside the ring, Martinez is dedicated to his profession and has taken the long and hard road to glory. Considered to be poundfor-pound number three on most major sports news and boxing websites, Martinez has been longing for the number one spot held collectively by Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao. If he continues winning, then may just fill that position.
