Comments Thread For: Naoya Inoue vs. Jamie McDonnell Showdown Lands on ESPN+

[Bluebird]

McDonnell is winning this fight, who is Inoue? And who has he beaten? U.K is behind you Jamie.

Inoue is an undefeated Japanese boxer with a record of 15-0, 13KO and currently ranked #7 in world boxing pound for pound rankings. They don’t call him the “monster” for nothing and you will find out why after the McDonnell fight. He is a knock out kid just like you.

McDonnell is a heavy underdog? Doesn't make sense especially since Inoue is moving up in weight. I can see this dude getting taken apart by McDonnell.

Cool. And no i havent had any issues with my espn app. Hope they keep getting these kinda fights!

Get over it, dude. Good content costs money. For $5, you'll get the Monster and then Crawford/Horn on 6/9. Are times that hard for you?

I don't understand why people don't get why others are not happy about ESPN+. In a vacuum, sure it is only 5 dollars a month. But ESPN is not an over the air thing. Everyone pays in some manner or another for it's service. Throw in either you are a cable/satellite user and have that ****** expensive bill every month or a cord cutter and have probably 3-6 other streaming services to pay for. What if you are a music lover? More and more the streaming options are almost required to get the music we want. Books, Amazon Prime, nickels here, dimes there. Entertainment adds up QUICK. Throw in the idea that there is zero chance ESPN+ stays that cheap, and you better just budget for the inevitable price raise to double that in a year or so. This is the way it will be. I get it. By the time my 20-something kids are my age, entertainment will look like this with some tweaks and maybe bundled packages or something. But right now all these streaming services are draining wallets quicker and quicker. The struggle is REAL!!

Now that I vented, let me go order ESPN+. I am sold. They are serious.

It make perfect sense to the informed boxing fan, not to casuals like you!

Inoue is like a younger faster GGG. He is a killer.

[FinitoxDinamita]

How many older fights do they have on demand?

They dont have more than youtube.

The monster will destroy this poor McDonnell fella. He (and his fans) obviously have no idea who Inoue is since he signed up to fight him. After this fight, Inoue will be ducked by almost everyone until he moves up again. I give McDonnell 5-7 rounds until he gets taken out. Rungvisai is the fight to make next (and that will be a war), but his handlers can have him destroy Cuadras or Estrada to prove himself further before Rungvisai.

Any of us brits that can't see McDonnell sold his belt before moving up are muppets. Inoue will beat him and look good doing it, he will solidify his p4p status from it and actually be one of the few people who deserve it as he is leaping classes. Look at this size difference. McDonnell will move up in weight and forget about it. He doesn't have an 0 to protect and he got 2 arguable gifts recently so future is uncertain, Hearn is about making fighters money. Not hard to see how this fight came about.

STFU "casuals" you talk and we all laugh at you, providing good deluded entertainment. Let's see how this fight turns out.
