On Saturday night, in Corpus Christi, Tex., Nonito Donaire stepped back into the ring for the first time following his upset loss to Cuba’s Guillermo Rigondeaux earlier this year.
In front of Donaire was a familiar foe in Vic Darchinyan, the same man he blitzed out in five rounds over six years ago in one of his most resounding performances to date.
On this night their HBO rematch was far more competitive, however, as Donaire and his awkward Armenian foe appeared to be fighting on even terms through the first eight rounds of their bout.
Some observers even had Darchinyan ahead in the match as the ninth round started, but that is where Donaire took over.
Midway through the frame, Donaire clipped Darchinyan and dropped him with a sweeping left hook.

It’s hard to believe that the Manny Pacquiao-Brandon Rios fight was officially announced in early May, over six months ago from today.
It’s been a long and winding camp for Rios, who kicked off a light version of his training regimen in early July before turning up the heat come August.
Recent weeks inside of the Robert Garcia Boxing Academy have seen Rios go out all in sparring as the intensity continued to build, with much of the hard work now in his rearview.
The Kansas-born brawler and his team, led by trainer Robert Garcia, will be leaving America for Macau this Tuesday and for Rios, the trip can’t come soon enough.
