Great first fight at 118

McDonnell isn't a walkover by any means

100% agree. McDonnell actually has some real skills and can mix it up. Good fight none the less.

Credit to McDonnell for agreeing to go to Japan and fight this guy, but he will get massacred.

McDonnell will tower over him by like 6 inches lol. not that it will matter at all, Inoue will chop down that tree with body punches and knock him out.
Still dont understand why he didnt stay for the super fly party when its a stacked division and moved up...annoying tbh.

Doubt this happens...
Probably Hearn just running his mouth as usual.
McDonnell will fight anyone though so hopefully there is some chance Teiken Promotions make this fight

Trash fight. Inoue will dominate him it will not even be competitive lol.

Moved up from a stacked division for this...

The judges robbed Solis of victory in his first fight with J-MAC. Looking forward to seeing karma being served via Inoue's right hand.

Easy victory.

Weight-Drained Jamie McDonnell is cashing-out.

Liborio Solis should be defending the WBA ' Regular ' bantamweight title : Jamie McDonnell stole Liborio's Inoue payday by way of robbery in Monaco.

This is a mismatch -- this time however is its not in the favor of Mismatchroom, Eddie Hearns knows McDonnell is trash and shouldn't even be 'Champion' :

McDonnell has been quoted that he is struggling to make the weight limit of 118 and that he was leaving/vacating his WBA title and moving up to 122, I think when he found out that Tomoki Kameda had returned to the sport after Jamie robbed him in 2015 and is in his way in the WBA rankings McDonnell decided to back out.

Naoya Inoue's team are wise to draw his thief into Japan, otherwise Mismatchroom would rob Inoue like the rest.
