Nonito Donaire Stops Voldymyr Sydorenko in Fourth Round

WBA interim super flyweight (115 pounds) titlist Nonito Donaire earned his 24th straight victory and his ninth stoppage in his past 11 fights with Saturday night's fourth-round knockout over Ukrainian bantamweight (118 pounds) Voldymyr Sydorenko, who was knocked out for the first time in his career at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif. 

"To be honest, I didn't even really go to my plan. The counter-hooks are always going to be me. I wanted to throw a lot of punches," said Donaire, who floored Sydorenko in the first, third and fourth rounds. "As you could see, there were some punches that I could have thrown. But I knew that I could take him out with one punch, so that's what I was going to." Read more...

Donaire vs Sydorenko: The boxing preview

Nonito Donaire burst onto American boxing scene in 2007 when he scored a spectacular one punch knock out, that was later named a knock out of the year, over a notorious Armenian banger, Vic Darchinyan. Like a bullet a counter hook put Darchinyan down into never-never land. Lightning fast punch was so devastating that the former champion still didn't know what happened to him minutes after it was all over.

But the reality of fighting at the lower weight divisions hit Nonito harder than the punch he threw to win an IBF flyweight title. Frustrated with not being able to secure a meaningful fight, even after scoring a knock out of the year on Showtime network, Donaire parted ways with his promoter Gary Shaw and signed with the very best in the business, Bob Arum of Top Rank.

Donaire vs. Sydorenko - The most awaited fight

This is the most awaited fight of the year 2010. The big fight between the Philippine pride Nonito Donaire and  Volodymyr Sydorenko . Let us witness this big ring war.

Also in Anaheim, former flyweight world champion Nonito "Filipino Flash" Donaire (24-1, 16 KOs) fights former bantamweight world titleholder Volodymyr Sydorenko (22-2-2, 7 KOs) for an interim version of the WBA bantamweight title.

"Sydorenko is a very tough guy. He is very experienced and he knows how to win as well," Donaire said. "He is there to bring his name up as well in beating me."

Sydorenko, of the Ukraine, held the title for three years and made six successful title defenses. That's no easy feat.

"He has a different style than I have seen," said Donaire, whose style is also rather different.

Whoever wins has been promised a date with current WBC and WBO bantamweight titleholder Fernando Montiel, of Mexico, on Feb. 19.

Nonito Donaire Vs Volodymyr Sydorenko

Another big fight of the year is the fight between Donaire and Sydorenko which will be held at The Honda Center, Anaheim, California. The Bantamweight fight ring war will be this coming December 4, 2010. 

 

Donaire recently signed a two-fight contract with Top Rank to culminate in the duel with Montiel. However, the bout is contingent on Donaire beating Sydorenko, a former WBA bantamweight king and 2000 Sydney Olympic bronze medalist, and Montiel disposing of his next challenger, likely Mexico’s Alejandro Valdez, on Nov. 20.

“I’m super excited,” said Donaire in an overseas phone call from his home in San Mateo, California. “I’ve been itching to face an elite opponent and Sydorenko is up there among the quality fighters. This is a big test for me because I will be fighting as a bantamweight. How I do against Sydorenko will determine if I’m prepared for Montiel. Obviously, if I don’t beat Sydorenko, the Montiel fight is off so for me, losing isn’t an option.”
