Fight of the Year with Donaire and Cruz, the Mexican fighter. Donaire knocked him down twice in the 4th, and was controlling the fight when he slipped in the 6th and seemed to hurt his knee. He was limping in the 7th, and Cruz smelled blood. Whereas he was coming forward and getting tagged through the first 6 rounds, he kept coming and landed some good shots of his own. Both fighters were bloody and bruised, but fought til the end, when Donaire won a UD. Great fight.
Felix Verdejo KO'd his opponent in the second with a beautiful counter right to go to 19-0.
