MANILA, Philippines – Nonito Donaire Jr. faced a statue named Omar Narvaez and left the Madison Square Garden with his belts wrapped around his shoulder.
He just smiled and walked away.
But up in the ring, against the previously undefeated boxer from Argentina, Donaire didn?t look happy at all.
?I?m bored,? the reigning WBC and WBO bantamweight champion reportedly said on his stool after the 11th round.
He had all the reason to feel so.
Narvaez, who won all his 35 previous fights, 16 of them in defense of the titles he once held, did not come to fight.
He climbed the ring ready to notch his first loss, and may have set a record for the least number of punches thrown in a title fight.
Donaire tried to engage for all 12 rounds, saying he didn?t mind getting hit at all as long as he could land some of his.
