Nonito Donaire once again became a world champion after surviving a slugfest against Mexican fighter Cesar Juarez to capture the WBO junior featherweight title on Saturday (Manila time).
The Filipino Flash scored two early knockdowns in the fourth round but won via unanimous decision, 116-110, 116-110, 117-109.
With the victory, Donaire completed his year with three wins, bouncing back tough to clinch his first belt after losing to Nicholas Walters in 2014.
Earlier in the year, he defeated Brazilian William Prado and French Anthony Settoul both via technical knockouts. —ALG, GMA News
