Comments Thread For: Naoya Inoue Destroys Nonito Donaire, Stops Him In Second Round Of Rematch

Usyk Inoue Spence Crawford Canelo for me. I think Spence has beaten better fighters than Crawford

Not a bad top 5 at all.

Hope a 40 year old GGG puts a better performance than this against Canelo.

That makes two of us. I really want to see GGG make a statement. One of the best fighters of the past decade.

Inoue continues to show why he's leagues above his current division. He can go as far as lightweight with his skills.

I think his ceiling will be 126 lbs. I could be wrong though.

Glad Nonito “Weight Bully” Donaire got stopped. Can’t stand him and his witch of a wife.

Did anyone expect a different outcome?

Can't say I'm surprised. I never believed in Donaire's resurgence/ newfound hype after he beat Oubaali for the title and made "history".

A) The frenchman wasn't a proven champion. He won a vacant title againt Raush'ee and made a couple defenses against limited opposition.

B) Oubaali had been struggling to make ends meet during Covid and was seriously considering retirement to get a regular job to provide for his family.

C) He was coming off a very long period of inactivity.

D) Training camp. Difficult to get a proper training camp with a nutritionist, s&c coach etc. and quality sparring partners for the required time when you're not being backed financially.

E) He had no visa up until two or three weeks before the fight. He had to publicly ask France President to help him get one.


What I saw that day was an elite pro boxer give a reality check to a good part-time or semi-pro boxer. Oubaali took notes and retired right after the fight.
Donaire got his own reality check today.

Nope

I had Inoue winning within 4

Saw the fight. Monster lived up to his name. Lets see if Butler wants the smoke.
And respect to the OG. He gave us some great fights. Time to hang em up.

The fight to last four minutes with two KD’s? Not sure anyone expected that.

Donaire will look back at this and realize that he made a very costly strategic mistake. He probably wasn't going to beat Inoue no matter how he fought, but you just don't come out hard, press and punch with a puncher. You don't do that in Rd 1 anyway. It goes without saying that Donaire should have opened up boxing and tried to soften Inoue up a bit before engaing head on, but he just came into the fight with a lot of self-belief. Nonito overestimated his own power and chin and Monster just ate him up.
