Comments Thread For: Nonito Donaire Seeks Buster Douglas Moment in Japan

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

One of the biggest upsets in sports history took place in Tokyo when Buster Douglas shockingly beat Mike Tyson for the heavyweight championship. Nonito Donaire (40-5, 26 KOs), an underdog 37-year-old WBA bantamweight champion, is hoping history repeats itself when he travels to the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan to face Naoya Inoue (18-0, 16 KOs), a 26-year-old IBF crownholder and arguably one of boxing's pound-for-pound best.

Donaire your game plan has failed already!

To much respect, when Douglas upset Tyson it wasn't an old faded fighter facing a young guy with loads of everything however that is the case with you. If you really expect to win ask can you bring a baseball bat in the ring! Typically what happens when you put an old faded champion vs. a young explosive talented champion we see an early stoppage; I'm going to go out on the limb and say you will make it to the 8th round.

Don't like the comparison to Buster Douglas. Donaire had an amazing career and a multi division champion. Douglas was just a 1 hit wonder. Never really a good boxer.

Tyson was on on drugs,, I read, at the time. Special drugs, I forget the name, but his wife and mother in law were trying to control his aggression.

Io credo che Donaire abbia chiaramente pochissime possibilità di superare Inoue, ma gliene do più di quanto ne ho date a Kovalev contro Alvarez, quella si sapeva che sarebbe stata una gara di maratona pugilistica ed uno dei 2 aveva autonomia per soli 30 km, ad Alvarez non serviva altro che arrivare alla pari i km finali per piazzare lo scatto. Inoue invece attaccherà subito come è nella sua natura e cercherà di travolgere Donaire che però ha qualche chance grazie ai suoi colpi, pochissime chance, ma ne ha.

But Nonito! I dont think Naoya Inoue is a hype-job like the rapist Mike Tyson is! Good luck tho!

He was taking lithium. I think he trained like three hours for Douglas.

And he has told time and again that he fought under the effect of various recreational drugs in several fights. Not to mention when he was sent to get massacred by Lennox Lewis while chock full of Zoloft.

Lewis still brags about that "win" to this day. Shame on him.

Donaire is still fighting?

Donaire is getting up there in age. That's a big thing working against him.

But having had more time to work with Kenny Adams is going to benefit him I think. This fight might be closer than people are expecting, at least for a little while.
