Vic Darchinyan vs Nonito Donaire Live Stream HBO PPV Boxing
11/9 HBO 9:30pm ET/PT
On Saturday night in Corpus Christi, Texas, four-division world champion Nonito Donaire makes his long-awaited return to action after losing to Guillermo Rigondeaux by unanimous decision last April. His opponent will be the always ready Vic Darchinyan.
Donaire's Round 5, one-punch stoppage of Darchinyan in July 2007 is among the most famous knockouts of the past decade. It's a rematch that has been over six years in the making in large part because Donaire's manner of winning left no doubt in anybody's mind as to what would happen if they ever met again.
But with Donaire coming off the loss to Rigondeaux, Darchinyan is now, no doubt, viewed as the perfect come-forward fighter to make Donaire look impressive in his comeback fight.
The first fight was contested for Darchinyan's IBF flyweight title. This meeting will take place four divisions higher, with both men making their debuts at featherweight.
Saturday November 9, HBO presents live fight coverage of Mikey Garcia vs Rocky Martinez, live on HBO. HBO Boxing After Dark Martinez vs Garcia airs live this Saturday, November 9 with a fight time of 9:30 p.m. ET / PT. HBO will have live fight coverage, including results and discussion, right here.
Mikey Garcia has had an interesting year so far. He's 2-0 in 2013, with wins over big names in Orlando Salido and Juan Manuel Lopez. He's looked very impressive in both fights as well, showing an increased aggression that has really benefited his game. At the same time, he has not been without controversy. He stepped out of the Salido fight after suffering a broken nose in a move that many questioned. Then, against Lopez, he failed to make weight, losing his title on the scales. He now (perhaps wisely) moves up in weight to take on Rocky Martinez, another notable fighter this year. Martinez is also undefeated this year, with a split draw and split decision win, though most felt he should have lost the fight with Juan Carlos Burgos. He is a good test at a new weight class, but looks to be the clear underdog here.
