The
Science of
By
Dr. Willy Ong, MD
Love & Sex
Do you remember how you felt when you had your first crush?
Do you remember your heart fluttering, your head feeling light, and
your feet feeling like they were floating on air?
Congratulations, you’re in love!

H
owever, years later, after you
got married and had kids, you
start to lose this wonderful
feeling. Your wife doesn’t look
as appealing as she once was. Sex isn’t as
exciting anymore. What is happening to
you? Scientists have found an explana-
tion through the so-called “love chemi-
cals.”
THE CHEMICALS OF LOVE
• Dopamine. When you’re in love, the
levels of dopamine in your body rise
tremendously, resulting in this kilig feel-
ing. That’s why dopamine is so addicting.
The more you have it, the more you want
it. It also helps release another feel-
good chemical called serotonin. When
a person is lovesick or homesick, their
serotonin levels drop by 40 percent.
Aside from being in love, there are other
ways to increase one’s dopamine levels
like smoking (that’s why it’s so addicting
and we don’t recommend it.), thrill-seek-
ing behavior, and having a new partner
(we don’t advise it). Sleeping and eating
sweets can also increase dopamine levels.
• Oxytocin. Aside from dopamine,
another feel-good chemical is oxytocin,
which promotes a feeling of closeness
and motherly love. This chemical rises
when we cuddle our children, hold hands
with a loved one, or communicate with a
dear friend.
Oxytocin, also called the “cuddling
chemical,” helps fight stress and makes
you happier. One study shows that

4 FEBRUARY 2011 Urban Lifestyle


talking to a good friend is as effective
as a pain reliever in treating headaches.
Therefore, men and
women need to communicate better in
order to build a better relationship and
ensure a steady release of oxytocin.
THE DECLINE OF LOVE
Just as we’d like to believe that true love
lasts forever, we still have to put in some
work to make this dream come true. This
is because our “dopamine high” doesn’t
last forever and our bodies develop toler-
ance to it. In fact, studies show that start-
ing from nine months to three years, our
dopamine levels decline, which coincides
with the time you feel bored and start
“falling out of love.” How sad!
Some scientists believe the timing of the
decline may be a natural process. Moth-
ers start teaching their kids to be inde-
pendent. Fathers may be prone to leave,
too. So if you’ve been going steady with
your boyfriend for the past three years
or you’re in your fourth year of marriage,
there’s a real danger he/she might get
bored with you, because the chemical
bonds are not there anymore.
FINDING TRUE LOVE
To increase one’s dopamine levels again,
you need to put excitement back into
your relationship. Get a new look, change
your hair, wear attractive clothes, and put
more excitement into your marriage. Go
on your second honeymoon, and plan a
surprise date at a new location.
Another remedy is through the help of
another feel-good chemical called endor-
phins, which could be the closest thing
to finding true love. Endorphins promote
a feeling of calmness, warmth, intimacy,
and dependability. As we get older, we
need to progress to the next stage and
start loving our partners for who he/she
is. To increase one’s endorphins, think
loving thoughts about your partner.
Touch and smile at him/her.
THE BENEFITS OF SEX
What about sex? Did you know that stud-
ies show that men who have sex two or
more times a week can decrease their risk
for a heart attack or stroke? Women who
enjoy sex also tend to live longer than
those who don’t. Studies also show that
increasing your sexual activity from once
a month to once a week also increases
your general happiness.
Sex makes one feel good and happy.
It’s also good exercise for the heart. A
five-minute sexual act consumes just 30
calories, but 30 minutes of sex can use as
much as 250 calories.
What bodily changes happen during sex?
First, your heart rate increases, pupils di-
late, nostrils flare, and sweat glands open.
Female breasts enlarge by 25 percent.
There is also increased blood flow to the
lips, nose, and sexual organs. Oxytocin
levels also rise. All these changes build up
to an orgasm.
How does a person know if he/she is
strong enough for sex? One simple test is
to climb two flights of stairs. If you can
do this without being short of breath,
then you are cleared to have sex. (By
the way, this is the test doctors may use
to check if you are qualified to have an
operation or not.)
TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR LOVE
LIFE
• Do little things for your partner. Send a
love note, a text message or a rose. Make
a surprise date and be unpredictable.
• Develop a shared goal. See if you can
match your goals and thus be more syn-
chronized in your plans.
“Sex makes one feel
good and happy. It’s
also good exercise
for the heart.”
• Remember the good times. Recall what
attracted you to your partner in the
first place, like your first date and your
memories of love.
• Massage her feet. Did you know that
the brain parts that control the feet are in
close proximity to the ones that con-
trol the sexual organs? A foot rub is an
erotic kind of foreplay. Other erogenous
(sexual) zones are the back of the neck,
the fingers, toes, and the nipples.
• Exercise and lose weight. The less belly
fat you have, the better your sex life will
be. Eating healthy will improve the blood
flow to your body.
• Create a conducive environment. The
brain is actually the most sexual of the
body’s organs. Try soft music, chocolate,
coffee, baby powder, the scent of lemon
or whatever works for you. Some reports
show these might be effective.
• Stay in love. There are really biological
explanations to the ins and outs of love.
Keep your love going strong and increase
those chemicals of love. Good luck!

 ULM HOT ISSUE OF THE MONTH
T
eeth cleaning is the removal of
dental plaque and tartar from
teeth to prevent cavities,
gingivitis, and gum disease. Severe
gum disease causes at least one-third of adult
tooth loss.
Since before recorded history, a variety of
oral hygiene measures have been used for
teeth cleaning. This has been verified by various
excavations done all over the world, in which
chewsticks, tree twigs, bird feathers, animal
bones and porcupine quills were recovered.
Many people used different forms of teeth
cleaning tools. Indian medicine (Ayurveda) has
used the neem tree (a.k.a. daatun) and its prod-
ucts to create teeth cleaning twigs and similar
products for millennia. A person chews one end
of the neem twig until it somewhat resembles
the bristles of a toothbrush, and then uses it
to brush the teeth. In the Muslim world, the
miswak, or siwak, made from a twig or root with
antiseptic properties has been widely used since
the Islamic Golden Age. Rubbing baking soda or
chalk against the teeth was also common.
Generally, dentists recommend that teeth be
cleaned professionally at least twice per year.
Professional cleaning includes tooth scaling,
tooth polishing, and, if too much tartar has built
up, debridement. This is usually followed by a
fluoride treatment.
Between cleanings by a dental hygienist, good
oral hygiene is essential for preventing tartar
build-up which causes the problems mentioned
above. This is done by carefully and frequently
brushing with a toothbrush and the use of
dental floss to prevent accumulation of plaque
on the teeth.
Plaque
Plaque is a yellow sticky film that forms on the
teeth and gums. The bacteria in plaque release
acid that attacks tooth enamel. Tooth decay
can occur after repeated attacks. Some food
causes plaque bacteria that produce acids. Thor-
ough daily brushing and flossing can prevent
tartar from forming on the teeth.
16 FEBRUARY 2011 Urban Lifestyle
Loving Your Teeth
Flossing
The use of dental floss is an important ele-
ment of oral hygiene, since it removes the
plaque and the decaying food remaining stuck
between the teeth. This food decay and
plaque cause irritation to the gums, allowing
the gum tissue to bleed more easily. Acid
forming foods left on teeth also demineralize
teeth eventually causing cavities. Flossing for
a proper inter-dental cleaning is recommend-
ed at least once per day, preferably before
bedtime, to help prevent receding gums, gum
disease, and cavities between the teeth.
It is recommended to use enough floss to
enable easy use, usually ten or more inches
with three to four inches of taut floss to put
between teeth. Floss is then wrapped around
the middle finger and/or index finger, and
supported with the thumb on each hand. It
is then held tightly to make taut, and then
gently moved up and down between each
tooth. It is important to floss under visible
areas by curving the floss around each tooth
instead of moving up and down on gums,
which are much more sensitive than teeth.
However, bleeding gums are normal upon first
usage of floss, and will harden with use. One
should use an unused section of the floss
when moing around different teeth. Removing
floss from between teeth requires using the
same back-and-forth motion as flossing, but
gently bringing the floss up and out of gaps
between teeth.
Cleaning the tongue as part of daily oral hy-
giene is essential, since it removes the white/
yellow bad-breath-generating coating of
bacteria, decaying food particles, fungi (such
as Candida), and dead cells from the dorsal
area of the tongue. Tongue cleaning also
removes some of the bacteria species which
generate tooth decay and gum problems.
Food and drink
Foods that help muscles and bones also help
teeth and gums. Breads and cereals are
rich in vitamin B while fruits and vegetables
contain vitamin C, both of which contribute
to healthy gum tissue. Lean meat, fish, and
poultry provide magnesium and zinc for teeth.
Beneficial foods
Some foods may protect against cavities.
Fluoride is a primary protector against dental
cavities. Fluoride makes the surface of teeth
more resistant to acids during the process of
remineralisation. Drinking fluoridated water
is recommended by some dental professionals
while others say that using toothpaste alone
is enough. Milk and cheese are also rich in
calcium and phosphate, and may also encour-
age remineralisation. All foods increase saliva
production, and since saliva contains buffer
chemicals this helps to stabilize the pH to near
7 (neutral) in the mouth. Foods high in fiber
may also help to increase the flow of saliva.
Sugar-free chewing gum stimulates saliva
production, and helps to clean the surface of
the teeth.
According to World Dental,
these are the top ten benefi-
cial foods for teeth.
1. Green tea contains polyphenol anti-
oxidant plant compounds that reduce plaque
and help reduce cavities and gum disease. Tea
may help reduce bad breath. Tooth enamel
is strengthened because green tea contains
fluoride which promotes healthy teeth.
h This Oral Health Month
2. Milk and yogurt are good for teeth
because they contain low acidity, which means
that wearing of teeth is less. They are also low
in decay-inducing sugar. Milk is a good source
of calcium, the main component of teeth and
bones.
3. Cheese contains calcium and phosphate,
which helps balance pH in the mouth,[citation
needed] preserves (and rebuilds) tooth enamel,
produces saliva, and kills bacteria[citation
needed] that cause cavities and disease.
4. Fruits such as apples, strawberries and kiwis
contain Vitamin C. This vitamin is considered the
element that holds cells together. If this vitamin
is neglected, gum cells can break down, making
gums tender and susceptible to disease.
5. Vegetables: Vitamin A, found in pump-
kins, carrots, sweet potatoes and broccoli, is
necessary for the formation of tooth enamel.
Crunchy vegetables may also help clean gums.
6. Onions contain antibacterial sulfur
compounds. Tests show that onions kill various
types of bacteria,[citation needed] especially
when eaten raw.
7. Celery protects teeth by producing saliva
which neutralizes bacteria that cause cavities. It
also massages the teeth and gums.
8. Sesame seeds reduce plaque and help
build tooth enamel.[citation needed] They are
also very high in calcium.
9. Animal food: beef, chicken, turkey, and
eggs contain phosphorus which, with calcium,
is one of the two most vital minerals of teeth
and bone.
10. Water cleans the mouth and produces
saliva that deposits essential minerals into the
teeth. It keeps teeth hydrated[clarification
needed] and washes away particles from the
teeth.
Detrimental foods
Sugars are commonly associated with dental
cavities. Other carbohydrates, especially
cooked starches, e.g. crisps/potato chips, may
also damage teeth, although to a lesser degree
since starch has to be converted by enzymes in
saliva first.
“Some people recommend
that teeth be brushed after
every meal and at bedtime,
and flossed at least once
per day, preferably at night
before sleep. For some peo-
ple, flossing might be recom-
mended after every meal.”
Sucrose (table sugar) is most commonly
associated with cavities. The amount of sugar
consumed at any one time is less important than
how often food and drinks that contain sugar
are consumed. The more frequently sugars are
consumed, the greater the time during which
the tooth is exposed to low pH levels, at which
point demineralization occurs (below 5.5 for
most people). It is important therefore to try
to encourage infrequent consumption offood
and drinks containing sugar so that teeth have
a chance to be repaired by remineralization
and fluoride. Limiting sugar-containing foods
and drinks to meal times is one way to reduce
the incidence of cavities. Sugars from fruit and
fruit juices, e.g., glucose, fructose, and maltose
seem equally likely to cause cavities.
Acids contained in fruit juice, vinegar and
soft drinks lower the pH level of the oral cavity
which causes the enamel to demineralize. Drink-
ing drinks such as orange juice or cola through-
out the day raises the risk of dental cavities
tremendously.
Another factor which affects the risk of
developing cavities is the stickiness of foods.
Some foods or sweets may stick to the teeth
and so reduce the pH in the mouth for an
extended time, particularly if they are sugary. It
is important that teeth be cleaned at least twice
a day, preferably with a toothbrush and fluoride
toothpaste, to remove any food sticking to the
teeth. Regular brushing and the use of dental
floss also removes the dental plaque coating the
tooth surface.
Chewing gum assists oral irrigation
between and around the teeth, cleaning and
removing particles, but for teeth in poor condi-
tion it may damage or remove loose fillings as
well.
Other
Smoking and chewing tobacco are both
strongly linked with multiple dental diseases.[6]
Regular vomiting, as seen in bulimia nervosa, also
causes significant damage.
Mouthwash or mouth rinse improve oral
hygiene. Dental chewing gums claim to improve
dental health.
Retainers can be cleaned in mouthwash or
denture cleaning fluid. Dental braces may be
recommended by a dentist for best oral hygiene
and health. Dentures, retainers, and other
appliances must be kept extremely clean. This
includes regular brushing and may include soak-
ing them in a cleansing solution.

 ULM COVER STORY
BBC News to feature Azkals

Even a prestigious media outfit from
England, a nation which embraces foot-

Azkals and the football mania that swept
the country over the past weeks.
For the first time in its international cov-

AFC Challenge Cup qualifying match,
which the Filipinos won, 2-0, Wednesday
night before an electric banner crowd.
Kate Mcgeown, the BBC’s Manila cor-
respondent, said the coverage wasn’t

just a qualifier but it was for the hype
and the passion the Filipinos now have
for football, which she said can be cred-
ited to the impressive victories of the
Philippine Azkals.
“I’m here because it’s really interesting
that football is taking off in this country.
If you think of the Philippines, you think
about basketball not football,” Mcgeown
18 FEBRUARY 2011 Urban Lifestyle
said in an interview shortly after the
match at the Panaad Stadium here.
“It’s fascinating to people, especially in
UK. You know we are a football nation.
And people here are getting interested
in the game.”
BBC covers all big-time football tourna-
ments in Europe, including the Premiere
League.
“It’s not so much about
the quality of the match or
how important the match
is internationally. It’s more
of the Philippines really
engaging with football in
the way they never hap-
pened before,” she added.
A 10-year veteran of BBC, Mcgeown will
be coming out with a short radio piece
on the match over the weekend and a
longer feature story on TV in the coming
weeks.
Describing what she witnessed inside
the stadium, Mcgeown said she was
awestruck.
“I loved it. The Filipinos are really happy-
bubbly people, anyway. I saw them all in
the stadium and the team won, 2-0. It’s
unbelievable. They just explode there,
it’s brilliant and it’s great,” she said.
Asked how she will angle her story
for the radio and TV piece, Mcgeown
quickly responded and said: “My angle
will be that, ‘People abroad, when they
thought of Philippines, and they thought
of sport, they thought of basketball.
And recently, the Philippine team,
the Azkals, who have won quite a few
matches, suddenly made people root-
ing for the team… buying t-shirts, scarf,
painting themselves (face painting-
Philippine flag). And they’re coming
here in the stadium for the match, the
first international match for a long time
if you really don’t count the Southeast
Asian Games.”

 Azkals stir up love for
football in the country
The Philippine Azkals historical
feat in the AFF Suzuki Cup and its 2-nil vic-
tory over the Mongolia Blue Wolves has set
off a Philippine football renaissance.
The recent victories of the Azkals and the
20,000 roaring fans who filled up the Pa-
naad Stadium in Bacolod City to watch the
Azkals Mongolia match have stirred up the
love for football among Filipinos, and has
brought pride and honor to the country.
Football fever was not only in the stadium,
as football fans also trooped to sports bars
to watch the game.
Some couldn’t help but feel patriotic,
waving Philippine flags while cheering on
the Azkals.
“This is a boost for Philippine football. You
are an inspiration to us football players. Go
Philippines!” said one Filipino fan.
President Benigno Aquino III could not also
hide his happiness over the Azkals’ feat,
considering the odds that the Philippine
team has had with football, which is not
among the country’s favorite sports.
“They demonstrated hard work. Football
does not have that big a pool of players
but they still managed to really - how
shall I put it? - they inspired so many of
our countrymen,” he said. “And I think the
inspiration was reciprocated by everybody
who watched both live and on TV.”
He also urged the Azkals to go for more in
pursuit of football glory.
“I, along with the rest of the
Filipino people, congratu-
late the Philippine Azkals
for winning the first leg of
their pre-qualifier match
versus Mongolia, 2-0,”
he said. “I am grateful to
you for bringing pride and
honor to Filipinos the world
over.”
He added: “Your two goals showcased both
Filipino creativity and the hard work you
put in to master your sport. You brought
our people together and reminded us once
again that, united, we can reclaim our na-
tion’s glory.”
“We look forward to cheering you on
toward more triumphs,” Aquino said.
Meanwhile, the country’s top sports of-
ficials and patrons extolled the Azkals feat,
saying the rebirth of the sport is within
sight even as they stressed the need of the
private sector to help in the development
of the sport.
Sports patron Manny Pangilinan said it’s
about time the country enjoys a football
renaissance.
“We should encourage the development of
football, it is truly a global sport and it fits
the Filipino physique and temperament,” said
Pangilinan, whose company Smart, through
the MVP sports foundation, recently
pledged Phl football P80 million for a 10-
year partnership.
“We could excel in it, with proper planning,
training and support from all sectors,
including the media,” he added.
Philippine Sports Commission chairman Richie
Garcia said they would support not just the
national team but the grassroots develop-
ment as well.
“The PSC will surely support the program of
football development in the country, we
will try to have more venues that can host
events like Bacolod,” said Garcia.
Garcia said the revival of youth leagues
like the BOFA with the help of the private
sector and the re-modelling of strategic
football fields like the Panaad pitch and
Rizal Memorial oval are among the programs
and projects the government’s sports fund-
ing agency are helping to put up.
“The Philippines-Mongolia game was an
eye-opener for us that we need a bigger,
better stadium that can accommodate some
20,000 to 30,000 fans and meet inter-
national standards because there were so
many people outside who were not allowed
to watch because the venue was already
jampacked,” he said.
“We should also revive BOFA or the go-
for-gold football leagues for the youth,”
he said. “I will try to visit the president of
Coca-Cola, who is very interested in sup-
porting the youth through football. With
what is happening in football, it will not
be hard to get the support of the private
sector.”
Philippine Olympic Committee president
Jose “Peping” Cojuangco Jr., for his part,
stressed they will push for the participa-
tion of football in the 26th Southeast
Asian Games slated Nov. 11-25 in Jakarta,
Indonesia.
The Philippines opted not to field a team
in the last two stagings of the biennial
meet in Thailand in 2007 and Laos in 2009,
but Cojuangco believes if the Philippines
participates in the Jakarta SEA Games, we
could finally win a medal.
Men’s football team has never won a medal
since the birth of the SEAG -then called the
SEA Peninsular Games - in 1959 in Bangkok,
Thailand. Its only medal came in women’s
football when it snatched a bronze in the
early 80s.
The highest finish by any RP men’s football
team in the SEAG was fourth when the
country hosted the event exactly two
decades ago.

Statement
of
His Excellency Benigno S. Aquino III
President of the Philippines
On the Philippine Azkals’ victory during the first leg of their 2012 Asian
Football Confederation Challenge Cup prequalifying match vs. Mongolia on February 9, 2011

[Released on February 9, 2011]

I, along with the rest of the Filipino people, congratulate the Philippine Azkals for winning the first leg of their
prequalifier match versus Mongolia 2-0 in the 2012 AFC Challenge Cup this Wednesday night. I am grateful to
you for bringing pride and honor to Filipinos the world over.

Your two goals showcased both Filipino creativity and the hard work you put in to master your sport. You brought our
people together, and reminded us once again that, united, we can reclaim our nation’s glory.
We look forward to cheering you on toward more triumphs.

permitted to buses and trucks. Major Bus
lines from Manila go straight to Baguio City
all hours of the day.

from Baguio to Manila have a bus station a
short distance from Session Road. Baguio
bus choices are non-aircon, air conditioned,
and deluxe which has wider seats, a snack
bar and a washroom (no more stop overs =
shorter travel time). A bus from Baguio to
Manila would range from P380 to P 460.
Buses going north from Baguio are located
along Magsaysay Avenue or near the Baguio
market. These buses are in fairly good con-
dition but do not have washrooms, aircon,
movies or anything luxurious. But they are
cheap.

DONAIRE
WINS WORLD
BANTAM-
WEIGHT
TITLE WITH
BREATHTAK-
ING KO
By Ronnie Nathanielsz
LAS VEGAS - FEBRUARY 19 - Nonito
“The Filipino Flash” Donaire won
the WBC/WBO world bantamweight
titles with a breathtaking second
round knockout of Mexican cham-
pion Fernando “KO-Chulito” Montiel
before a wildly cheering crowd of
some 5,000 fans at the Mandalay
Bay Resort Hotel and Casino Events
Center tonight.
The heir-apparent to pound-for-
pound king Manny Pacquiao virtu-
ally duplicated Pacquiao’s second
round annihilation of Ricky “The
26 FEBRUARY 2011 Urban Lifestyle
Hitman” Hatton
with eerie resem-
blances to what
happened that
night.
Just like Hatton
who was seper-
ated from his
senses with a
devastating left
hook that saw his
legs quivering,
Donaire nailed
Montiel with a
similarly awe-
some left that
sent the Mexican
veteran crashing to the canvas with
both legs quivering uncontrollably.
Montiel, demonstrating the typi-
cal courage of a Mexican warrior
somehow rose to his feet and
staggered around as referee Russel
Mora asked him whether he wanted
to continue as he gave Montiel a
mandatory eight count. Donaire im-
mediately pounced on the hapless
Montiel who was in no condition to
continue forcing Mora to call a halt.
Pacquiao and his wife Jinkee who
took a private jet to Las Vegas from
Los Angeles to watch the fight were
a little too late to savor the stun-
ning performance of Donaire as the
fight ended just as Pacquiao and his
wife arrived at the entrance.
After the fight Donaire went to
Montiel who congratulated him be-
fore being whisked away to hospital
for a complete checkup.
Hours before the fight and even in
his dressing room a supremely con-
fident Donaire predicted he would
win by a knockout in two rounds
but the manner in which he did it
was simply awesome.
Both fighters sized each other up in
the opening round which Donaire
won because of his effective left jab
which stung Montiel while one right
hand saw the champion stop dead
in his tracks and take notice.
In the second round Donaire, one
of the smartest fighters in the ring,
dropped his left hand in order to
invite Montiel to throw a right hand
which he did enabling Donaire to
nail the Mexican with a cracking
counter left hook that lifted him off
his feet and sent him crashing to
the canvas flat on his back.
It was the same deadly punch that
ended the cocky Vic Darchinyan’s
reign as IBF/IBO flyweight champion
on July 7, 2007 in the “Knockout
of the Year” as well as the hopes
of former bantamweight cham-
pion Wladimir Sidorenko who was
dropped three times in four rounds
and was knocked out by Donaire in
his last fight on December 4, 2010.
As Donaire rushed to hi corner
with a wide grin on his face it was
clear that Montiel wouldn’t last but
even as he tried gamely to continue
Donaire pounced on his wounded
prey and put him out of his misery.
In many respects Donaire’s per-
formance was typical of Pacquiao
in whose footsteps he wishes to
follow.
The noisy Mexicans
who were hoping that
Montiel would help
restore some pride
among his country-
men who have been
the continuing victims
of Pacquiao who is
regarded as the “Mexi-
cutioner” were stunned
into deathly silence as
another Filipino showed
up to carry out as com-
plete an execution as
one would ever witness.
A large group of Filipinos many
wearing their Donaire jackets
jumped up and roared with delight
as the Mexican fans who had booed
Donaire as he entered the ring
could only marvel at his performance with both Mexican
legends Marco Antonio Barrera and Jesus Chavez Sr who did
the TV coverage beamed to Mexico saying it was an amazing
performance.

In a post fight interview Donaire told this reporter and Dyan

Castillejo who covered the fight for ABS-CBN “I feel that
nobody can beat us now because I believe in myself. I thank
God for this victory and all the Filipinos who supported me.”

Donaire said he studied Montiel’s movements in the early

stages of the second round and figured out what Montiel
would do and where he would go and that “when I caught
him he would be knocked out.”

Asked who he would like to face next the ecstatic newly

crowned champion said he is “prepared to fight anybody”
including WBO super bantamweight champion Wilfredo
Vazquez Jr who earlier told the Inquirer he would be “hon-
ored to fight Donaire” to which Donaire responded “then I’ll
be honored as well.”

Donaire’s soft-spoken trainer Robert Garcia said he didn’t

expect the fight to end so soon because he “knew the kind
of fighter that Montiel is. I expected a tough fight but the
skills that Nonito has. Everybody said Sidorenko was so easy
because he made it look easy. Now what do they have to say?
He took him out in the second round. This guy is unbeliev-
able.” (story courtesy of PhilBoxing .com)
