    Naoya Inoue was NOT exposed

    It's only a matter of time before these trolls start saying that "Donaire EXPOSED Inoue" or "Monster is overrated". People put such high expectation on Inoue while ignoring the fact that Donaire, although past it, is still a dangerous opponent and he showed why he's a great fighter and future HOFer.

    Monster answered a lot of question and showed what we haven't seen before. Inoue proved he has a chin, can still carry his power to the distance, has good stamina and composure, AND he can overcome adversity. Donaire came to win and not collect a paycheck and gave arguably one of his best performance against a fighter that was deemed invincible.

    This was a great passing of the torch fight. Give props to BOTH fighters.

      Suprised at how much Donaire rehydrated. He didnt look that big at the weigh in compared to fight night. Inoue should have used Canelita Tactics and put a weight clause in the fight.

            Are you sure it has nothing to do with the fact that Donaire is just tough as f#cking nails? He could have ended Donaire that round but Donaire was just too much of a warrior.

            I don't believe he'll carry his power up to FW or SFW. He should stay where he's at right now and become undisputed.

              Let it go, bro. Same story as with Spence/Porter.

                There's a point where every fighter, no matter how unstoppable they look, will face a tough customer and make them look ordinary and do a lot of work to win. Inoue showed tremendous skills, he just neds to tweak his defense just a bit.

                  He has been vastly overrated, this is normal with power punchers. He nearly got beat by a shot Donaire. He's World class. Just not Elite, or P4P. Needs to fight better opposition and move through the weights to earn those titles.

                    Good post Will. These guys trying to pretend Donaire isn't 37 in one of the lightest weight classes in boxing. I'm still waiting for someone to tell me what Donaire did so impressive since going back to 118.
