A great win again for the Nonito Donaire, the Filipino Flash, as he TKO's Toshiaki Nishioka one minute and 54 seconds of the ninth round of their fight at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California October 14, 2012. The referee stopped the fight after Donaire knocked out Nishioka the second time on the ninth round. Nishioka was downed the first time during the 6th round. Here is a highlight video shared thru YouTube.
Donaire's impressive win is on the Philippine Daily Inquirer's headline and you can read the details here. I think Donaire has improved significantly his technique comparing from his previous fight. He has become a technical fighter. While Nishioko was concentrating to defend himself from Donaire's left, Donaire was patient enough to deliver his right for a knock out on the ninth round. I believe patience and smart thinking was the key to his win.
A few or seldom do boxers of today have the patience to wait for that right timing and opening to go for the knock out. Every boxers are rushing in the early rounds to get a knock out which I think the boxing fans and audience wants. I guess they want to give what the fans want. But in this case, boxers loose steam and strength towards the late rounds and end up with a boring fight.
