Simpiwe Vetyeka vs. Nonito Donaire RBR

That statement is half true.

 

"With the exception of Chris John and Daud Yordan, Vetyeka has so far not fought as many tough guys as Donaire..."

Uh, Hasegawa?

 

Round 1

Vetyeka is staying outside, rolling his frame diagonally forward and down to deposit jabs on Donaire's belly. Donaire is sticking the jab up into Vetyeka's face and flinching back from Vetyeka's double jab up top, loading a right hand but never letting it fly. Mostly a jabbing session, feeling out each other for vulnerabilities. Vetyeka ducks and turns his back swooping past Donaire making him miss a clubbing right. Donaire misses a right hand and takes a jab on the face and two uppercuts on the abdomen, then spins and goes down at the bell with Vetyeka landing accidentally on the back of the head, very confusing. Donaire is cut. Maybe a head clash inside?

10-9 Vetyeka, close

 

Punch and foul. Hard to say exactly what made him go down, maybe a combination of both.
