Unified bantamweight champ Nonito Donaire will be ringside at this week's ESPN Friday Night Fights, which takes place at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. No, Donaire, who's coming off a spectacular knockout win over Fernando Montiel, won't be lacing up the gloves, instead he'll be going to work in a different field.
Donaire (26-1, 18 KOs), who's been taking up photography in his free time, will be joining 3MoreRounds repoter Ryan Bates to serve as the guest photographer for 3MoreRounds.com. Fight fans may have noticed Donaire shooting the fights as recently as the April 9 card in Las Vegas, headlined by Erik Morales vs. Marcos Maidana. A favorite hobby of his, Donaire hopes to continue showing off other interesting talents.
This Friday's card will feature Carlos Molina, making his second appearance at the venue, taking on Allan Conyers in the 10-round junior middleweight main event. Also on the card will be Rances Barthelemy (11-0, 9 KO's), and Texas lightweight Hylon Williams Jr., (13-0, 3 KOs) in separate bouts.
On fight night, doors will open at 4:30 pm. The first fight is at 5:00 pm and the main event will begin promptly at 6:00 pm.
