Drakulich To Be The Third Man For Donaire-Concepcion

By Ronnie Nathanielsz

Respected referee Vic Drakulich will be the third man in the ring when former IBF/IBO flyweight champion Nonito “The Filipino Flash” Donaire takes on Panama’s Rafael “El Torito” Concepcion for the WBA super flyweight interim title in Las Vegas on Sunday, Manila Time.

Drakulich was referee for three fights of Filipino boxing hero Manny Pacquiao. They were Pacquiao’s third fight in the classic trilogy with Erik “El Terrible” Morales, his clash with Jorge Solis and his WBC lightweight title fight in which he demolished David Diaz in nine rounds.

The three judges chosen are Max De Luca from California, Glenn Trowbridge of Nevada and CJ Ross also of Nevada.

The fight supervisor is Michael Welsh.
