His father supported his choice as he felt it would keep Donaire off the streets.

During their younger years, Donaire and Glenn would spar.

Donaire also watched videos of his hero, Alexis Argüello, and from them he learned to throw a powerful left hook.

While enrolled at the San Lorenzo High School in San Lorenzo, California, both Nonito and Glenn won several regional and district amateur boxing championships.
