Naoya Inoue lets Donaire borrow the trophy for a night for his sons

Respect to both warriors....

Respect to Inoue. That's pretty damn cool.

This is what boxing, sports and life period should be all about....

You don't get it. It's not that Americans don't understand, it's that many would see it as teaching your kids to ask the winner for pity. In the US, we traditionally have a different mentality regarding competition. A lot of people don't get it, many are intimidated by it. We don't ask for pity and favors. If you want to think of it as wrong then you do you. North America's lack emotional intelligence. You're one of them. Your lack of understanding for decisions made by someone else is shocking. With the Internet, you can learn a lot about others. Get to work son.

Grace in defeat while teaching his kids an important lesson. Powerful stuff. Can't lie this made me a little emotional.

Very classy of Inoue

If you want to think of it as wrong then you do you. You have kids? They give away a trophy to every one of them nowadays. There are no losers and winners anymore. It a bunch of BS but that's the world we live in now. Bunch of emotionally unstable people who can't take losing so we have to appease them to not hurt their feelings. This has nothing to do with the Nonito situation as that's just 2 sportsman at the highest level showing respect and humility in Donaires case to one another.

nonoto is a queer ***** Care to go in to more detail? Bet you dont.

Great gesture. He's always been very humble. He should walk away from the sport while he can. Remember, many people thought he was shot following the Walters beat down.

great champions!

North Americans will not understand Redd. You guys need to travel the world to see how mistaken you guys are about everything. I am not saying you haven't, talking in general. I think it is not weird, I think it is human, which is what we have lost in the north. Great story! You don't get it.

This brought tears to my eyes. What a class act, both of em. Mine too! There's a poem by the British Victorian poet Rudyard Kipling. called "If" It's about a father explaining to his son what it means to be a man. Hearing Nonito's son congratulating Mr Inoue on his victory was like hearing the whole of that poem summed up in one short sentence, especially these lines: If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’ —you’ll be a Man, my son!

Wow this is heartbreaking nonito is a first ballot hall of famer he did his best gave Inoue his toughest fight it's been an honor watching him from scratch

Stupid comment It’s his job and probably pretty much all he knows It’s like saying no fathers should be a cop or fire fighter or in the military or anything. Maybe they shouldn’t even drive a car incase they crash, maybe never even leave the house. Bye clown.

Dont worry inoue good man. He let you borrow trophy and belts too so happy all

Amazing. this is what boxing is all about.

Very emotional. But contradictory. If you have young children, you should not put your life on the line. Family first.
