I said it before the tournament even began. The bantamweight division isn't as good as some were making it out to be.
Donaire beating Burnett just makes it look even weaker. It's been a while since Donaire looked good and he looked solid against Burnett. Donaire was in the fight it's not like he just got lucky.
Donaire doesn't have to beat Tete to prove that people were trying to overhype the Bantamweight division, he just proved it by beating the #1 seed of the division. I am not counting Donaire out against Tete though. I've never been impressed with Tete. It wouldn't shock me if Nonito can pull off another upset.
I think Burnett is better than Rodriguez. I think Burnett-Tete would have been a 50-50 fight.
I do think Inoue is good enough to beat this version of Donaire; probably even easy. Watch Inoue fans act like he just beat a prime Donaire though.
Inoue is a good fighter. I'm not saying he isn't, but no reason to overhype his division to make him look better.
I notice Inoue fans are the most critical of other fighters.
I've seen Inoue fans call Loma a weight bully, yet Inoue comes in the ring as heavy as Featherweights do. Inoue comes in only a few pounds lighter than Loma on fight night. If Loma is a weight bully then what would that make Inoue?
