Top Rank CEO Bob Arum, who was pleased with Nonito Donaire Jr.’s recent victory, said that the resurgent “The Filipino Flash” would not be in a title fight just yet.

“I’m glad Nonito did well,” Arum told BoxingScene.com after Donaire’s 2nd round technical knockout victory over Brazilian William Prado in the Pinoy Pride 30 event at Smart-Araneta Coliseum last Saturday.
