Former world champion Nonito Donaire Jr (34-3, 22 KOs) returned to the 122lb division on Saturday night at the famous Araneta Coliseum in Manila, Philippines. “The Filipino Flash” punished former world title challenger William Prado (22-5-1, 15 KOs) from the get-go and the one-sided clash was waved off in round two. It was Donaire’s first fight since his loss at featherweight to world champion Nicholas Walters last October and his first bout in the Philippines since 2009.
WBO jr flyweight champion Donnie “Ahas” Nietes (35-1-4, 21 KOs) retained his title for the sixth time with a tenth round TKO over Gilberto Parra (19-3, 17 KOs). Nietes dropped Parra in round eight and got the win when Parra didn’t come out for round ten.
