In a stunning knockout win, Filipino boxer Nonito Donaire stopped Mexican fighter Manuel Vargas
in only three rounds of the fight dubbed Latin Fury 13 / Pinoy Power 3” at the Hilton Hotel Las Vegas, Saturday (Sunday, Manila).
Living up to the event’s name, Donaire again has proven Pinoy Power and total dominance in the boxing ring. The Filipino Flash displayed both offensive and defensive mastery throughout the fight, opening a cut in Vasquez’s right eye in the 2nd round and finishing him off with a powerful left uppercut to the chin in the third. Donaire limited Vasquez to landing only 4 shots during the entire fight.
Nicknamed the Filipino Flash, Donaire (23-1, 15 KOs), the current interim WBA Super Flyweight champ, attained his 22nd straight win. Donaire will likely face former WBC champ Vic Darchinyan for his next fight, probably in June 2010. Darchinyan suffered a major loss to Donaire during their first matchup via a 5th round knockout.
