Nonito Donaire Jr. Wins Via Unanimous Decision
Nonito Donaire Jr. has beaten his Argentinian opponent Omar Narvaez via unanimous decision on Saturday, October 22 (Sunday morning, Manila time) at the Madison Square Garden, New York.
With the win, Nonito Donaire Jr. successfully defended his World Boxing Council (WBC) and World Boxing Organization (WBO) bantamweight belts against Omar "El Huracan" Narvaez. The Filipino Flash, however, did not get the knockout victory he was hoping for because Narvaez clammed up during the middle rounds.
All the three judges eventually voted in favor of Donaire, 120-108.
The Filipino boxer now holds a record of 27 wins, 1 loss and 18 knockouts while Narvaez suffered the first loss of his career. His record now stands at 35 wins, 1 loss and 2 draws.
In an interview by ESPN, Donaire apologized to the crowd for lack of action during the bout because Narvaez clammed up.
“I did my best. I was very frustrated. I’m sorry it didn’t come out the way we wanted. I wanted him to open up. He had his hands up. Now I know how Pacquiao felt with Clottey.” he said.
