Inoue vs donaire should have been a ko

No it's a 10 count that the ref picks up from the time keeper. Only clowns break out the stopwatch to try and prove anything.That is very true. A 10 count is not measured in perfect seconds, it's an analog not digital count - and even if someone counts "one one thousand, two one thousand, three one thousand, etc., to try to match actual seconds closely, the speed at which they count those seconds will vary. To get it exact, they would have to be holding a watch and counting out loud to make it more of an exact count, among other variables. But as a fantasy, it begs the question of if we had a 12 or 15 count, how many fights would have ended with a different victor. Off the tangent - I still wish we had 15 rounds.....now that would net quite a few different victors since some fighters start pouring it on late and run out of time. Just the fact that today's fighters have never seen 15 rounds gives an edge to the fighters of the past. I wonder what fighters like Spence, Mayweather, Canelo, etc,. would be like entering a 15th round. Leonard, Hearns, Duran, Benitez, Aaron Pryor and others proved their stamina past the 12th round. I'm sure some of today's fighters would fall short in those last 3 rounds.

OP is right, we all want to give Donaire credit and applaud him for his perdormance and heart, but that should have been a KO win for Inoue.

Lol I can never tell if you're just constantly making fun of me or actually like me. Hope you're not in a bad mood today though. It's a new day! i got love for you.. i do not lie.. not even in fed court..

When the ref counted 10 Donaire wasn't even up yet, not to mention the ref pushed Inoue away from going in for the finish before Donaire even went down... But the right man won so idc

No it's a 10 count that the ref picks up from the time keeper. Only clowns break out the stopwatch to try and prove anything. By no means am I trying to take away from Donaire's performance just simply stating what I saw upon re-watching it. I didn't even notice it originally, partly due to excitement and partly due to it being 5 am... but still great ****ing fight. you have proven yu know boxing.. kisses.. no ****... but kisses.

What do you mean it doesn't matter how many seconds it took? The official rules of boxing say that a fighter has 10 seconds to get up from a down,not till the count of 10. After that fury vs Wilder fight,people were bringing out stopwatches to see of fury actually got up in the 10 seconds. No it's a 10 count that the ref picks up from the time keeper.

Doesn't matter how many seconds it took. However you can clearly see the ref hold out both hands indicating the count of 10 so there's that. he won my heart... he fought hard.. he did his best. and unlike pac.. he did not say he was one armed. pinoy boy toys like spoon.. who can't admit he is a pinoy. got pac nads on the brain.. maybe i am the same.. i got israel in m ee mee heart...donire... gave his all.. that all...
