Jessie Magdaleno picks up a world title, beating Donaire over 12.


On the Vargas v Pacquiao undercard in Las Vegas, unbeaten Las Vegas super bantamweight Jessie Magdaleno (24-0, 17 KOs) won a twelve round unanimous decision over WBO champion Nonito Donaire (37-4, 24 KOs) on Saturday night at UNLV's Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, to pick up his first world championship..  The bout was action packed from the start with Donaire pressuring the younger Magdaleno, who maintained a busy workrate, holding his own. Magdaleno hurt Donaire in round nine, but was unable to sustain for a stoppage..  Donaire finished the fight impressively with a late surge, stunning Magdaleno in the final seconds, leaving it a little too late to make an impact..  In the end, scores were 116-112, 116-112 and 118-110.
