Comments Thread For: Inoue Fends Off Donaire, Wins WBSS Bantamweight Tournament

[Chrismart]

Great fight, one of the best of the year. Credit to both fighters.

These closing out months of the year have been good fun.

Great fight! Thought the cards were closer than reported. Nonito has heart.

[Cadet Bonespurs]

Inoue is coming for that puto Nery

Inoue gets hit too much to be as successful above 122 Donaire is a featherweight weight and not a great one he showed a lot of heart so I have to give him his props

Great scrap! But Donaire took a dive. He took 100,000,000,000,000 Yen in an envelope. I could see it in his hair in round 2

Great from both fighters. Respect to the veteran Donaire.

What was the deal with the ref getting in the way when Donaire hadn't touched the canvas yet?

I saw that - the ref stuck an arm in the way of Inoue when he was chomping at the bit to finish the job.

I thought the count got to 10 and not nine - will have to look at it again.

Truly impressed with ...BOTH fighters.
Inoue looks like the second coming of Manny without the awkwardness.

BRAVO to Nonito Donaire! Absolute love to this Champion! Not many boxers out there have like he does.

HOF and GOAT. He only struggled in his career because jumped too high in weight devision after loss to Rigo. That's why I praise Loma for jumping as high but still winning.
Nonito is a legend and he deserves monuments while living.

Isn't Pantera Nery still banned en Japon?

Be careful what you wish for.

Wow

I usually don’t care for too many bantamweight fights

But this delivered credit to DAZN and WBSS for broadcasting this

I have much respect for Nonito especially in the 8th and 9th rounds, I feel he could have scored a KD In the 9th, had that man woozy

I guess as talented as Inoue is, he isn’t invincible and almighty powerful against better competition

He’s supposed to announce a top rank signing imminently

Idk how he will translate to casual American audiences in ESPN, idk if he will connect with folks outside of the hardcore boxing bubble

But that’s not his problem, he just gotta fight and collect checks stateside, good luck to him and his career

Btw Rigondeaux schooled Nonito
