MANILA, Philippines - There were likely many boxing fans who had never heard of Cesar Juarez and presumed that Nonito Donaire Jr would have an easy path to another world title victory. After 12 rounds of grueling war, Donaire emerged bloodied, swollen but victorious, earning the vacant WBO junior featherweight title by unanimous decision.
Donaire, 33, dominated the early rounds with his crisp counterpunching and speed, but the hungry 24-year-old from Mexico City pressed forward, rising up from two knockdowns in round 4 to cut Donaire in round 7 and force him into a brawl.
Donaire didn't shy away from talks of a rematch. After these two gave fans what may have been the best fight of 2015, why not? – Rappler.com
