There is no better way to prove supremacy than this kind of victory.
Nonito “The Filipino Flash” Donaire stunned the boxing world with his emphatic 2nd round stoppage of erstwhile champion Fernando Montiel to strip him of the WBC and WBO Batamweight belt at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas Nevada, Sunday (Manila Time).
Donaire relied on his famous left hook, the same punch that brought Vic Darchinyan to the canvass to send Montiel literally sprawling to the floor and rendering him unable to fight back, causing the referee to put an end to the fight.
The impact of the punch was so devastating that Montiel legs gave an involuntary shudder upon receiving the punch and even though he successfully made it to his feet to beat the 10 count, he was still out of it and when Donaire closed in to wrap up the fight, referee Russel Mora intervened upon seeing that Montiel is in no condition to fight anymore thus declaring Nonito’s victory.
Donaire who is almost in tears, thanked the Filipino crowd after his victory which solidified his long questioned pound for pound ranking (beating a guy who is ranked 7th pound for pound in the world should erase all doubts)
Top Rank promoter Bob Arum had all praises for the Filipino star in a post fight interview after witnessing the magnificent victory.
The future looks bright for this Filipino rising star as many regard him to be “The Next Manny Pacquiao”.
