11/04/2014 – Kingstown | In a battle dubbed as “Survival of the Fittest”, the Filipino Flash Nonito Donaire once again proved his doubters wrong and regained his pride by knocking his previous captor unbeaten Jamaican boxer Nicholas Walters in just 22 seconds of the opening salvo, in their immediate rematch Monday night at National Indoor Centre, Kingston, Jamaica.

Donaire came earlier in the fight with full energy and delivered the sweetest revenge of his career by obliterating his opponent in front of his 52,000 countrymen. Donaire lost to Walters a month earlier by TKO in round 6.

During the opening bell, Walters attacked Donaire recklessly and the Filipino Flash uses wide array of counter punches in perfection knocking down Walters in just 18 seconds. Walters beat the count but looked terrible giving Donaire full advantage to deliver the final blow and sends Walter to the canvass unconsciously in exactly 22 seconds of the first round.

The win considered by many boxing analysts as “Fastest Kill” comparing it to a Cock Fight. Walters was taken to hospital in a stretcher but expected to have no major injury.

Walters’ camp is expected to request a rematch and the third fight is imminent considering the two fighters have knocked each other out in two fights. A third fight will be more brutal and exciting.

Donaire has improved to 33-1-0 while Walters’ new record after suffering the first and brutal loss of his life has 25 wins and 1 loss without a draw.
