After being embarrassed by Guillermo Rigondeaux, Nonito Doniare went life-and-death with already beaten foe, Vic Darchinyan to get a ninth-round KO while being behind on the scorecards.
Meanwhile, Abner Mares, basking in the Doniare meritocracy, lost in a shocking first-round KO to Jhonny Gonzales.
After both below-par performances from each fighter, this matchup would be big.
Their names alone are big draws and would make for an exciting build-up and great fight.
