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

Jesus Christ what a ****ing fight. It might be recency bias because of the snooze fest that was canelo-kovalev but this bout was amazing. So many swings of momentum throughout the fight and a few questions answered about Inoue. Full respect to donaire, the old lion, he is truly deserving of being a first ballot hall of famer. Big respect to Inoue for battling through the early cut and taking bombs. We are blessed to be boxing fans in 2019

If you replay the last 10 seconds of round 12, you can hear the last roar of a legendary lion

Got my heart racing for sure, he put his balls on the line. ****ing warriors

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

Nonito is 118,
Rigo is 122, Walter 126, Loma 130 Garcia 135 Pacman 140 Floyd 147 etc.

Rigo would school him imo

Rigo 122 forever just like GGG 160 forever!?

[Letmaku]

TRUE! Listen, Lomachenko nomas'ed Rigo, who destroyed prime Nonito and this site puts Inoue over Loma in rankings, total bull****. If you have 1 pair of eyes, you can see the difference in skill.

Hahaha Nonito is 118 Rigo 122 and Loma 130 hahaha

Hahaha Nonito is 118 Rigo 122 and Loma 130 hahaha

No, Loma natural weight 126.

Great fight.

I had it even after 9 but Inoue clearly took the last 3 rounds with a KD in the 11th for a comfortable win. Inoue showed some great skill and heart considering the size difference but didn't exactly look like a "monster" against a well past-prime Donaire who had moved down two weight divisions for this tournament. You'd think at this stage of his career that weight drop would weaken him.

I thought Frampton did a better job against a faded Donaire even though that was at featherweight. Frampton is a small guy too who was at super-bantam in his better years and you'd think Donaire would've been more comfortable at featherweight at his age.

Inoue's not quite what the hype suggests but still a very talented little fighter.

I bet half the agenda driven cl0wns who are here nitpicking about nothing did not even see the fight.

Nothing new!

Their loss.

Havnt seen the fight yet but sounds like it was a belter , got a case of Japanese beers in the fridge waiting on me getting home to watch it

What did Donaire just do so special? He fought Burnett who hurt himself throwing a punch and knocked out a substitute opponent. You seriously riding his **** over that?

This is not about Donaire. This is about Crawford.

Im asking you to name me a highly rated fighter that Crawford stepped up to fight recently.

Because if you can't, then why is Crawford #1 over Inoue, who just did?
