Comments Thread For: Naoya Inoue: Donaire Was a Very, Very Strong Opponent

[Madison Boxing]

ive been slaughtered on here for years for saying inoue was overhyped. well look what happened, a shot to **** version of donaire nearly beat him just goes to show hes not elite level, he looked good whooping a bunch of no hopers in a **** weightlclass.

Nah Donaire is far past prime. You’re just not the monster you and your fans think you are.

The only thing that he didn't have yesterday was that he lost a bit of speed.

Otherwise he gave an excellent account for himself and he didn't get to that fight because they picked him, he earned it.

Donaire looked much bigger than Inoue. Great fight, props to both!

Prime Donaire beats him but great fight regardless!

Inoue had to earn it and it is nothing wrong with being tested and when you get tested it doesn't mean you're "Overrated" or "Overhype" that is Casual Talk...in fact that is an insult to Casuals because Casuals actually enjoy good close and competitive back and forth fights even more

Either we want guys to be more Defensive or we want Action Pack...PICK ONE YOU so called "Boxing Fans"

This.

It's the same old shìt. I remember Mike Tyson suddenly becoming "overrated" by casuals just because he won only on points against James "Quick" Tillis after all those knockouts.

Inoue was hit hard by Donaire, and had a bad cut. Instead of going down or panicking, he regrouped and hit back harder. Not only that, he also boxed beautifully when required. All of the above considering that he was indeed quite smaller as opposed to Nonito.

inoue hype needs to end. he isn't a monster. a monster doesn't go 12 rounds and almost get stopped by a near 40 year old who has been stopped, outclassed and badly beaten before. all u punks with ur frickin weird obsession with inoue NEED TO GET A GRIP!!!!!!

Exactly. And this fight confirmed my theory about him knocking out the touted Ryan Burnett had that fight gone on.

In the first rounds, even his speed was almost on a par with that of Inoue; he faded a bit in that regard only after the first half, when he started to get hit more often.

Speaking just for myself, it's not an obsession. Inoue is an excellent fighter, just that.

Refreshing to see 2 quality fighters let their fists do all the talking in the ring and not on social media!
