Nonito "The Filipino Flash" Donaire came out victorious tonight against Vic "The Raging Bull" Darchinyan at the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, Texas.
Many observers said that Armenian fighter Vic was leading on the score cards and Robert Garcia, Donaire's trainer, encouraged his prodigy to throw some combinations.
In the 9th round, the Filipino fighter listened to the advice from his corner. And so, he hurt and caught Darchinyan with his deadly left hooks, which sent every boxer he faced to go down. When the brave Armenian gladiator went down and couldn't recover anymore to a fast flurry of punches from Donaire, referee Laurence Cole halted the fight to save the defenseless boxer.
We have seen like this fight when Donaire, Jr. faced Rigondeaux on April 13, 2013. The Filipino icon has always problems with a fighter who has a little bit style of Manny Pacquiao, which is quick and aggressive fighter. If Donaire, Jr. wants a rematch against the Cuban boxing star, he should do much better than what he had shown tonight.
According to some Donaire's fans, this win of Nonito Donaire, Jr. is for the people of Samar and Leyte in the Philippines who were affected by super typhoon Haiyan last Friday, especially for thousands of people who have lost their lives.
