The Filipino Flash, Nonito Donaire successfully defended his IBF/IBO belts against a very tough Mexican, Luis Maldonado. Donaire had Maldonado down in the seventh but was not able to finish the job. He continued his onslaught in the following round throwing vicious rights and flush left uppercuts that Maldonado absorbed brutally. The referee mercifully intervened at 1:16 to stop the punishment that Nonito Donaire was dishing out.
Nonito was awesome. It’s no wonder they call him the Filipino Flash. He throws heavy punches at lightning speed. The kid definitely has skills and for sure a lot of people will be looking forward to his next fight– including myself.

*in the photo, Nonito KO’d Vic Darchinyan to collect the latter’s IBF/IBO belts. Prior to their fight, Vic has been mouthing off after breaking the jaw of Nonito’s older brother Glen. With a perfectly timed left-hook, Nonito sent Darchinyan crashing to the canvass, where he stayed down.
