Everyone rejoices and congratulations are pouring in as two top Filipino boxing fighters knocked out their Mexican opponents today here in Manila in a fight aptly billed The Flash & The Furious.
Nonito "The Filipino Flash" Donaire and Brian "Hawaiian Punch" Viloria capped an impressive day for Filipinos. Donaire retained his International Boxing Federation (IBF) and International Boxing Organization flyweight titles after a one-sided fourth-round knock out punch over erstwhile undefeated Raul "La Cobrita" Martinez. Donaire knocked down the 27-year-old Mexican-American twice in the first round and once in the second and fourth rounds before the fight was brought to a halt.
On the other hand, Viloria took away the IBF light flyweight title from Ulises "Archie" Solis in their action-packed clash. It was a longer fight between the two since both showed tenacity and determination to win the fight yet, on the 11th round Viloria ended the match prematurely with a devastating right straight as Solis was coming in.
We are so ecstatic over the victories by Donaire and Viloria and the fun is not over yet as we are expecting another victory in the offing in the upcoming fight of People's Champ Manny Pacquiao against IBO light flyweight champion Ricky Hatton on May 2 in Nevada.
Goodluck and best wishes to you Pacman! You're always in our prayers.
