Nonito Donaire vs. Omar Narváez was a boxingbantamweight championship fight for the WBC and WBO world titles.[2] Donaire made his first and only title defense against junior bantamweight titleholder Omar Narvaez. Shortly after the most significant win of his career, a highlight reel knockout of Mexico's Fernando Montiel, Donaire left Top Rank and signed with rival Golden Boy Promotions.[3] The deal was put on hold when an arbitrator upheld Top Rank's contract and enjoined Golden Boy from promoting Donaire. Eventually, Donaire worked out his differences with Top Rank, which signed him to a contract extension in mid-July.[4]
Donaire enters this fight riding a nine-year, 25-bout winning streak, which includes an IBF/IBO Flyweight title knockout victory of defending champion Vic Darchinyan, and a fourth-round blasting of former WBA Bantamweight champion Wladimir Sidorenko last December. However, Donaire's most impressive victory occurred in his last fight, on February 19, when he knocked out defending WBC/WBO Bantamweight champion Fernando Montiel in the second round, ending Montiel's 25-bout winning streak while also claiming his third world title in as many weight divisions. Ten of Donaire's last 11 victories have come by way of knockout.
Narvaez
Omar will be making his U.S. debut. Narvaez successfully defended his title 16 times during his seven-year reign before vacating it in early 2010 to campaign at a heavier weight class. He won the vacant WBO Super Flyweight title in May 2010, pitching a near shutout to win a unanimous decision over Everth Briceno. Narvaez, one of Argentina's most popular fighters, has successfully defended his new title three times, all by unanimous decision, against opponents who had a combined record of 54-2 when he fought them.
