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.
