Nonito Donaire vs. Wilfredo Vazquez Jr.

---

Judge Ruben Garcia's puzzling 115-112 scorecard for former holder Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. nothwithstanding, Nonito Donaire dominated in his first fight at 122 lbs. en route to capturing a world title in his third weight class (112, 118, 122). Vazquez Jr. was game and landed good shots throughout the fight, but in the end was outpunched by the ultra-talented and powerful Donaire. After the fight, Donaire removed his glove to reveal a damaged left hand that he said he believed he hurt around the second round.
