Nonito Donaire loomed large tonight at the Las Vegas Hilton live on Top Rank’s pay-per-view, stopping an outgunned Manuel Vargas in three rounds. Donaire towered over the smaller Vargas who took the fight on short notice moving up in weight.
Despite being the main event, the bout had more of an exhibition feeling as the supremely talented Donaire had his way with an overmatched opponent, putting his array of skills on display for a wide audience.
Donaire set things up with his jab and was patient setting up his attack. In the third Donaire caught Vargas with blistering left uppercut that ended his night hard and suddenly. The official time was 1:33 of Round 3.
With the victory Donaire improved to 23-1 (15 KOs) and a super fight / rematch with the brutish Vic Darchinyan looks likely later this year.

Former world champion Eric Morel captured the interim WBO bantamweight title with a twelve round spilt-decision over a relentless Gerry Penalosa moments ago on pay-per-view at the Las Vegas Hilton.
At the opening bell Morel looked to stick and move while Penalosa took on the role of the aggressor. The early edge went to the Puerto Rican as he appeared a bit more active but the veteran Penalosa was really sitting down on his punches when he was able to land them.
The fighters appeared to trade rounds through the middle of the fight. In Round 6 two accidental clashes of heads left Penalosa with two separate cuts which seemed to bring out a sense of urgency him.
Morel continued to box and move but Penalosa began to catch up with him a bit more often. With the bleeding clearly bothering him the ‘Fearless’ Pinoy fighter continued to press the action asMorel looked to jab and retreat.
Penalosa used pressure very effectively and continued walking Morel down through the championship rounds. Summoning an extra gear late in the fight Penalosa really ended the bout strong but found himself on the wrong end of a split decision.
Two judges had Morel ahead 116-112 and 115-113 while Penalosa was ahead on the third and final card. FightFan.com had the bout scored 115-113 for Penalosa.
