Top Rank Promotions' CEO Bob Arum told FanHouse that he expects WBO WBC bantamweight (118 pounds) king Fernando Montiel of Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mex., "to be fine" for a Feb. 19 bout against rising WBA interim super flyweight (115 pounds) titlist Nonito Donaire of the Philippines despite having suffered a possible fracture in his right leg from a Sunday dirt bike accident, an injury which has scuttled Montiel's planned Nov. 20 bout against an opponent to be determined.
Montiel (43-2-2, 33 knockouts) has been advised to stay off of the leg for three weeks, even as an HBO televised, Feb. 19 bout against Donaire (24-1, 16 KOs) has been all but secured, said Arum.
