Nonito Donaire sets sights on becoming an Undisputed Champ


With the performance The Filipino Flash showed us, we are all thinking that maybe Donaire will be the next to be like Manny Pacquiao.

Yesterday, Nonito Donaire faced Fernando Montiel for the WBO and WBC Bantamweight World Titles. It was unlucky for Montiel to fall in the 2nd round. Donaire has given a fatal blow of left hook which knocked Montiel to the ground, and made him lose consciousness for a while. After getting up, Donaire finished it with 2 punches, then the referee decided to stop the fight. A technical knockout against the Mexican boxer has stunned all the Mexican viewers in Las Vegas.

The Fil-American boxer plans to unify all the bantamweight titles by challenging the title holders such as Abner Mares, Joseph Agbeko, and Anselmo Moreno. “I want to see how far I can reach with the talent that God has given me. I want to know and be proud of being a multidivisional champion and undisputed,” said Donaire.

It is okay with Donaire to be considered just the number 2 boxer in the world, since his fellow Filipino boxer Manny Pacquaio is the 8-division champion.
