Malacanang was happy over Filipino boxers Nonito Donaire Jr. and Brian Viloria won against their opponents yesterday at the Araneta Center.
Donaire, known as the Filipino Flash, successfully defended his International Boxing Federation (IBF)/International Boxing Organization (IBO) flyweight crown against his American opponent Raul “The Cobra” Martinez. Donaire dumped Martinez by way of stoppage in the fourth round of a scheduled 12 rounds.
Viloria, called the Hawaiian Punch, stood toe-to-toe against Ulises Solis of Mexico in a classic ring battle for the International Boxing Federation (IBF) light flyweight championship. (OPS)
