Review: 2014-10-18, great fight between Nonito Donaire and Nicholas Walters: it gets three stars. Nonito Donaire entered this fight with a professional record of 33-2-0 (21 knockouts) and he is ranked as the No.1 featherweight in the world, he suffered his second loss in 2013 when he faced the undefeated Guillermo Rigondeaux (=Donaire vs Rigondeaux); after that bout he beat Vic Darchinyan (=Donaire vs Darchinyan 2) and Simpiwe Vetyeka winning his fifth world title in five different weight classes (=Donaire vs Vetyeka).
His opponent, the undefeated Nicholas Walters, has a perfect record of 24-0-0 (20 KOs=83%) and he entered as the No.6 in the same weight class, he has fought once in 2014 beating Vic Darchinyan (=Walters vs Darchinyan). Donaire vs Walters is valid for the WBA Super World featherweight title (Donaire’s first defense); undercard of Gennady Golovkin vs Marco Antonio Rubio. Watch the video and rate this fight!

Very nice fight and an excellent knock out. Boxing styles quite similar but Walters is a stronger puncher than Donaire so he prevailed..
Hahaahahagaaga
sucks that the shot was to the back of the head
No it wasn’t.
it was right to the back of the left side of his ear
which =side of head.
Agreed – side of head
Styles aren’t the same. Donaire doesn’t use fundamentals.
Waters does. Donair attempted to over power a bigger stronger guy.
Swinging wildly and paid for it.
Least now we can get Lamenchko Vs Waters!
I really want to see that.
Walters saved by the bell.
Too bad Donaire only has one hand. If he has a right hand, those he hit Walters with would have made a difference.
