MANILA, Philippines – Rachel Donaire, the wife of 4-division boxing champ Nonito Donaire Jr, took a swipe at Manny Pacquiao on Twitter following comments Pacquiao made questioning Donaire’s work ethic.
Nonito Donaire (37-4, 23 knockouts) lost a unanimous decision to unbeaten Jessie Magdaleno on Saturday, November 5 on the undercard of Pacquiao’s WBO welterweight title win over Jessie Vargas. It was the first time Donaire had fought on a Pacquiao card. Afterwards, Pacquiao criticized Donaire in a Manila Times story, advising the Filipino-American not to ‘be lazy and always go hard in training.”
“His footwork was heavy, no air and there’s no timing,” added Pacquiao, who believes that Donaire took his opponent for granted.
Rachel Donaire reacted via Twitter, reposting a graphic first shared by actress Dionne Monsanto showing how the scorecards for Donaire-Magdaleno and Pacquiao’s 2015 loss to Floyd Mayweather were the same – 116-112 on two cards and 118-110 on the third. Like Pacquiao, Donaire also disputes his loss and has called for an “immediate rematch” with several news outlets.
“I pray the advise was out of love and experience and not malice considering the ironic score,” wrote Rachel Donaire.

Rachel Donaire later corrected Pacquiao’s earlier claim that Magdaleno was an Olympian, asking whether he had meant Oscar Valdez, the WBO featherweight champion who fought just before Pacquiao, instead. When asked on Twitter by a follower whether she thought the criticism was constructive, she replied “It wasn’t constructive.” – Rappler.com
