Donaire steps up in weight to fight Vazquez Jr. for WBO vacant super bantamweight title this Saturday
Nonito Donaire (27-1, 18 KO’s) steps up in weight this Saturday night to try and add a third world title to his collection in a fight against Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. (21-1-1, 18 KO’s) for the vacant World Boxing Organization (WBO) super bantamweight title at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.
Donaire, 5’7”, needs this win against the 5’5” Vazquez Jr. to move on to bigger fights against Jorge Arce, Juan Manuel Lopez and Yuriorkis Gamboa. Donaire is seen as someone on the cusp of stardom but he needs some quality wins on his resume that boxing fans really care about.
