With a slight amount of swelling forming on the right eye of
Donaire in the third round , Donaire channeling Sergio Martinez's style
connected with a looping left hooked that hurt Vasquez Jr. As the fight
progressed Donaire’s confidence began to show as he fought with his left hand
at his side while rolling punches and effectively pot shooting Vasquez Jr from
the outside. Vasquez Jr had his best round of the night as he was able to land
his jab effectively throughout round 6 ,while walking forward and moving
Donaire back. In the eighth round, Donaire continued to move forward
stalking the slower Vasquez Jr. And even took a moment to showboat a bit in the
last 30 sec of the round by squatting down win both his hands on his knees
coaxing Vasquez Jr to come forward. In the ninth round, the “Filipino
flash” showed off his natural athletic gifts and connected with beautiful
uppercut, paused, then hit him with a left hook that put down Vasquez Jr. Down
the stretch, in the final three rounds Doniare seemed content on out boxing
Vasquez Jr as neither fighter seemed to want to take a risk. Vasquez Jr did
show he could stand and compete with the pound for pound rated Donaire but, the
“Filipino Flash” took home the split decision 117-10, 117-110, 112-115.
