Donaire Goes The Distance Again

Nonito Donaire vs Wilfredo Vasquez Jnr - Vacant WBO Super-Bantamweight Title


As part of the HBO double header in Texas at the weekend , Nonito Donaire added another World Title to his collection as he clearly beat former champion Wilfredo Vasquez Jnr over 12 rounds. Donaire suffered and injured right hand midway through the fight , this was clearly visible after the fight as his wraps were covered in blood. Vasquez Jnr had his successes in this fight as i had him sweeping rounds 5-7 i think this is probably where Donaire had his injury before it started to numb up.

There was one knockdown in the fight as Donaire finally broke Vasquez tight defence in the 9th with a quick combination. Vasquez was up at 5 and easily saw out the round as Donaire looked like he was happy to see the full 12 rounds out. I had Donaire winning every round from 8-12 as Vasquez was far to conservative with his punches , Donaire even had time to showboat with the HBO team saying he looked like both Roy Jones and Naseem Hamed.

Going round the forums and the press everybody had this fight for Donaire although well respected posters had the fight quite close eg: a 1 round win for Donaire BUT only 1 fan agreed with Judge Ruben Garcia who had Vasquez winning the fight 115-112. I think an investigation had to take place as this wasn't the hardest fight to score. The other 2 Judges had Donaire winning by 7 points , this was how most of the fans and press scored.

The compubox stats are as follows for this fight , i think it clearly shows how dominant Donaire was but it also shows that Vasquez Jnr did have his success by landing 30% of his punches......

Donaire - 556 Thrown / 231 landed....42% connect rate
Vasquez - 548 Thrown / 163 landed...30% connect rate

Donaire sweeps the connect rate per round by out-landing Vasquez 11-1 in rounds.
