I'm not big on p4p rankings but this fight showed what it should take to be on that list. Almost an insult to have the undeservings up there next to Inoue's name. Great fight all I could hope for and more than I expected. Huge props to Donaire! If it was his last show, I can wholeheartedly say thank you! Next time I'm in Canastota before I hit the tables in turning stone I will pay my respects..
That was a great fight. Donaire demonstrated his HoF skill set against the baddest man in the planet. A prime Donaire would have stopped Inoue. All credit to Inoue though he seems unbeatable in the lower weights.
Second fight of inoue i’ve watched (and first of donaire’s in a long while). Inoue is p4p the most skilled and talented fighter today. Now i see why the hype on the guy.
Credit to both guys showing the skills & the will at the highest level of the sport. Inoue was tested, took some big shots from Donaire, got cut badly & was bleeding pretty bad from his nose, & showed he can take it as well as he can dish it out despite being hurt in the 9th round. Big heart on Donaire bc he did not look like he was getting up from that body shot & barely beat the count. Hopefully Inoue comes to the US & doesn't stay fighting in Japan the rest of his career. As much as Donaire has been one of my guys to watch for as long as he has been around, he might've just gave what he had left in his career in this fight. May things trend upwards for both guy regardless of what path they take next.
