Given another crack at a world title, Nonito"The Filipino Flash" Donaire feels it's for his taking.
Donaire fought well but fell short against Naoya Inoue in the WBSS finals on November 9, 2019, in Saitama, Japan. In the undercard, Oubaali bested Inoue's younger brother, Takuma, by unanimous decision. After separate scratched fights due to the pandemic, Oubaali and Donaire will finally tangle for the 118-pound title probably at Avalon Theater.
While Oubaali boasts a higher knockout percentage, Donaire is noted for his one-punch annihilation of the then unbeaten Vic Darchinyan in 2007 and his second-round demolition of Fernando Montiel in 2011, both earning Knockout of the Year citations.
