Nonito "The Filipino Flash" Donaire (28) floored defending champion Fernando "Cochulito" Montiel (31) of Mexico in the second round, and snatched from the champion the crown for the World Boxing Council (WBC) and World Boxing Organization (WBO) bantamweight titles at the Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas on 20 February 2011 (Sunday), two minutes and 25 seconds in the round.
At the onset both fighters cautiously studied each other. Donaire landed a left hook in the opening seconds of round one.
Donaire took a right to the head from Montiel, then immediately countered with a devastating left to the head that sent the champion crumplling to the canvas. Montiel managed to rise up to continue, but Donaire rushed over to land a left and a right before referee Russess Mora stopped the fight.
The win was Donaire's 25th triumph in a row over the past decade.
