Was he supposed to be a killer or something? Wasn't Donaire #1 ranked in the division behind the champion Inoue? I thought Donaire and Inou were the two best at that division and other fighters had to prove how good they are by fighting them?
Or is the hype just a championship belt thing? I thought Donaire was going to win this fight going in. I was confused as to why odds had him as the underdog.
I am genuinely asking, not shtting on Donaire. I like him, he's a very good fighter. But want some context as to why everyone is so surprised he won.Last edited by garfios; 05-30-2021, 05:20 PM.

Great performance by Nonito Donaire on becoming boxing's oldest Bantamweight champion in history. It was a very impressive win at this later stage of his career.
However, I must admit that that second knockdown was illegal. He punched Nordine Oubaali after the bell. So that knock down shouldn't have counted. I am not saying that Donaire should have been penalized or that he wasn't going to eventually knock his man out but that second knockdown should not have counted. It was a foul.
Referee Jack Reiss blew that call. That fight could have been easily ruled a no contest on appeal if Oubaali hadn't got up but he beat the count anyway.

Happy to see that the Filipino Flash is again added to the list of American champions. Schaefer had himself a great talent there and it looks like more cards with Ringstar and PBC will be happening. Would like to see a voluntary defence on FOXRopeydope likes this.
