NEW YORK — Guillermo Rigondeaux was more than ready for by far the biggest challenge of his pro boxing career Saturday night.
The unbeaten, Cuban-born southpaw out-boxed favored Nonito Donaire, survived a 10th-round knockdown and won their 122-pound championship unification fight by unanimous decision before a sellout crowd of 6,185 at Radio City Music Hall. All three judges — John Stewart (114-113), Tom Schreck (115-112) and Julie Lederman (116-111) — scored the fight for Rigondeaux (12-0, 8 KOs), who retained his WBA super bantamweight title and captured Donaire’s WBO super bantamweight crown.
