Vic Darchinyan wants rematch with Nonito Donaire

By Mario Cabrera, Jr

Nonito Donaire knocked out last-minute replacement Manuel Vargas in the third round of their fight. Donaire controlled the bout throughout before flooring Vargas for good with a solid right uppercut at 1:33 in the third. Donaire, the WBA interim super flyweight champion, was scheduled to fight Gerson Guerrero. But Guerrero failed his pre-fight physical, paving the way for Vargas.

Afterward, Top Rank promoter Bob Arum said that Donaire's immediate future will either be a fight against Fernando Montiel, who also won convincingly, or against Donaire's arch rival and enemy, WBA and WBC Super flyweight champion Vic Darchinyan, 34-2-1, (27) who dominated his Mexican opponent Rodrigo Guerrero at the Rancho Mirage Casino on March 6. The two met in 2007 when unknown Nonito Donaire stopped Darchinyan in five rounds winning his IBF flyweight title. Donaire had gained vengeance for his brother Glenn, whom Darchinyan had defeated the previous year. During his post fight interview Darchinyan went on to express his desire for a rematch with the talented Filipino Nonito Donaire. Donaire and Darchinyan are without doubt the top two fighters in the division. Hope we can see a rematch!!!!!
