30 years old Nonito "The Filipino Flash" (31-2-0( 20 KO) Donaire rated number 1 in Philippines and number 2 in the world will try to come back to the big boxing scene by facing 37 years old Vic "Raging Bull" Darchinyan (39-5-1( 28 KO) rated number 1 in Armenia and number 11 in the world on this Saturday, November 8 in the American Bank Center, USA. This is a very important fight for Nonito as he must get his confidence back after his first loss after 12 years against very talented Guillermo Rigondeaux (12-0-0). Rigondeaux also stripped him from his WBO super bantamweight title.
Nonito comes to this fight after his
loss by unanimous decision against Guillermo Rigondeaux on April this
year. Before that he knocked out Jorge Arce(61-7-2) from Mexico in
round number 3 on the end of 2012.
Vic comes to this fight after TKO
round 4 win against Javier Gallo (18-6-1) from Mexico on May this year.
Before that he won by unanimous decision against Luis Orlando Del
Valle(16-1-0) on September 2012. Vic won only 2 of his last 4 fights and
this is the second time these two will meet.
First time they met on the middle of
2007 and Nonito made a real surprise by knocking out Vic Darchinyan in
the round 5. It was the first loss for the Armenian and the only TKO he
ever had. No one ever stopped Vic before and after that fight. While
Nonitos career went straight forward from that time, for Vic it had
absolutely opposite effect. From that time he lost against Joseph Agbeko
on 2009, Abner Mares on 2010, Anselmo Moreno on 2011 and Shinsuke
Yamanaka on 2012. Of course he had wins against poor opposition in
between those loses but everytime he tried to step up he faced the loss
by decisions...
