Donaire needs to bum rush Monster in the first round, go Maidana on him and hope he lands a huge hook.

only chance for him to win.

I have a strong feeling Donaire is going to pull the W. I’m looking forward to this fight

no way in hell they will let that happen in Japan with their biggest star. Donaire pretty much conceded this fight and wants the retirement payout by agreeing to fight in Japan.

Inoue is a far better fighter than Donaire... he didn't concede and Japan has nothing to do with it. No matter where this happens Inoue wins almost every time barring some miracle.

Nice match up.. Inoue UD

Finally. Too long between fights, for non medical reasons. Like they don't have a plan for the next fight. Take Josh and Rougarou. Ireland, the Hydro, or Josh's house?

Donut Aire may say he sees some weaknesses in Inoue's gameplan.... but IMO Inoue will have broken down and stopped Donut Aire before he can get anything started in that regard. Inoue is just on a supercharged roll right now. For BW division, you may as well call him Superman.... and he's already the Monster. I predict a win by stoppage for Inoue, 3 rounds tops. I would compare it to the humiliation at the hands of Nicholas Walters... only worse, and sooner. Yes, Donut Aire is very skilled, but this is a whole different level that he's never even been to. I can say if he does win, I'll definitely give him the credit due. I just don't see that happening.

It won’t matter where they fight, Donaire is going to win convincingly that they won’t be able to rob him. This is his last big fight before retirement

Inoue's promoters couldn't have scripted this any better. They had a lot of luck go their way.

To get a fight with Donaire, in what appears as a passing of the torch event, in Japan for the Muhammad Ali trophy is a dream scenario. Especially since Donaire is highly beatable at this stage in his career.

It's similar to AJ-Klitschko.

Obviously big money from Japan secured home advantage for Inoue.

Don't have to worry about the judging; Donaire's only chance is that lucky left hook to end the fight. Judges wont have any say if he lands it clean.
