Nonito Donaire’s missed opportunity

Just finished watching Donaire’s fight and got a good photo of his headband. During his walkout, I got excited and thought it was Baybayin and hoping it was right. To my disappointment, it wasn’t. Couple people on Facebook and Twitter pointed out that it’s Japanese.

I assume it’s either from his training camp or a sponsor but I doubt it. I just hope it’s nothing like “Warrior” or something could’ve been done in Baybayin. Missed opportunity that could’ve given the script exposure to millions. We are still looking for a Francis M…..

Anyone know what it says?

    it’s japanese characters not baybayin

    闪光 = flash.  Sorry I don’t have traditional characters, but those are the same.  It’s pronounced “shan guang.” (in Mandarin).
