By Chris Williams: WBC/WBO bantamweight champion Nonito Donaire (26-1, 18 KO’s) will be returning to the ring for a unification bout against WBA bantamweight champion Anselmo Moreno on May 28th. Also on the card will be unbeaten welterweight contender Mike Jones (24-0, 18 KO’s) against Canadian contender Antonin Decarie (25-1, 7 KO’s). The Moreno-Donaire fight seems hardly worth it because Moreno is totally unknown in the United States and winning another useless alphabet title doesn’t really give Donaire the shot in the arm that his people think it will be.

Lemieux, only 20, knocked McCrary down twice in the 1st round.

Referee Marlon Wright then stopped the bout at 2:07 of the round.

Latest Boxing News: Decarie Stops Munoz
By Chris Williams: WBO NABO welterweight champion Antonin Decarie (20-0, 6 KOs) won an impressive 12th round TKO victory over the tough Hector Munoz (18-2-1, 11 KOs) on Saturday night at the Montreal Casino, Montreal, in Quebec, Canada. Decarie, 25, ranked #6 in the WBO, knocked a stubborn Munoz down twice in the bout, once in the 9th and another time in the 11th, before putting him away with a flurry of shots late in the 12th round. Referee Gerry Bolen moved in and halted the bout at 2:42 of the 12th with Munoz badly hurt and absorbing punishment along the ropes. The fight should have been stopped much earlier, however, perhaps as early as the 8th or 9th rounds, because Munoz, 30, had little chance of winning the fight and was trailing by a large margin.
Without a real big knockout punch working for him, Munoz had little chance of making up the ground by the 9th unless he was somehow able to catch Decarie with a big shot. Given the fact that it was Decarie who was landing all the big shots at this point in the fight, including all the other rounds as well, the fight should have ended much earlier with either the referee or Munoz’s corner stopping the fight.
