Filipino-American boxing sensation Nonito Donaire retained the World Boxing Association interim super flyweight championship battering Manuel Vargas of Mexico in a 3rd knockout at the Las Vegas Hilton in Las Vegas, Nevada.
A left uppercut by Donaire sent Vargas flat on his back at 1:33 of the third of their scheduled 12-round bout counted out by referee Joe Cortez.
“He (Vargas) could not back me up so the last round I tried to figure him out much easier. My corner told me to relax because I was stiff though I felt I was the bigger guy,” said Donaire.
After moving from side to side and throwing right straights, Donaire threw the bomb that ended the bout. The 27-year-old Donaire, who improved to 23-1 with 15 knockouts, is being lined up for several marquee fights within the year by American promoter Bob Arum. “I’m a fighter and I’m here to fight. That’s what I came for. I will just listen to my guys and see what happens,” said Donaire.
