Nonito "The Filipino Flash" Donaire TKO'd Luis Maldonado

Philippine IBF/IBO Flyweight World Champion Nonito “Flash” Donaire successfully defended his crown against the game Mexican challenger Luis Maldonado winning by 8th round Technical Knockout.

The Filipino Flash dominated the fight held in Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut Saturday night and clearly outclassed the challenger. He also dropped Maldonado in the 7th round before the referee Arthur Mercante Jr. stopped the fight at 2:21 in the 8th.

Nonito Donaire has the making of a boxing superstar following in the big footsteps of the sensational Manny Pacquiao in the future.

I say, he is even better in boxing skills compared to Manny Pacquiao in his early years although not as devastating with his hands as the former.

But he is a joy to watch inside the ring and a well- polished fighter owing to his amateur background with power to boot in both hands and also the big heart and the angst that come with it.

He will be a future multi- division world champion and a force to reckon with in the square ring as long as he stays focused and disciplined in his career.
