Quick Notes:
How did that punch compare to the one you landed on Darchinyan?
Nonito Donaire: “The Darchinyan punch was pretty sweet, but this was the hardest punch of my career, I was so surprised he got up – I put everything behind that punch. It was the hardest one I ever threw in my life. I looked down and he started twitching, I knew the fight was over.”
How did you see the opening?
Nonito Donaire: “I pretty much memorized where he was going to be, where his head was going to be. I knew when the time came, my punch was going to land and that is what happened.”
Fernando Montiel was immediately taken to the hospital after being knocked out. He was unavailable to issue comments at the press conference.
