‘Axeman’ Walters vs Donaire in pictures
Nicholas ‘Axeman’ Walters stopped Philippine-born Nonito Donaire with a second left in the sixth round, winning the WBA featherweight title in dramatic fashion Saturday night. Walters (25-0, 21 KOs), a fairly unknown fighter from Jamaica, punctuated his breakthrough performance by knocking down Donaire (33-3) for the first two times in the fourdivision champion’s career. After Donaire swung and missed with a huge left hand late in the sixth, Walters caught him above the ear with an overhand right. Donaire fell face-first to the canvas and, though he beat the count, he couldn’t continue in his second loss in four fights. Here is some of the riveting action as captured by international news service, AFP.
