Inoue vs Donaire rd 11

[john l]

1st Donaire fought a great fight, and showed an UNREAL chin and toughness. This was a career redefining performance for a guy who was already a lock for HOF. I heard a quote once that said" perseverance is not a marathon its many short races one after another" I thought "courage" would have been a better word. Everyone who has done some fighting whether in ring or not knows you get to a point where you know your not made of glass. You also get confidence in knowing how you will react once the "fight or flight" felling comes. That being said you don't just become brave and not fell fear anymore. Everytime you still have to battle fear, and if its tough you battle your desire to keep going. The reason I bring this up is Donaire made sooooo many decisions in that fight, not to just keep fighting, but to still try and win. That being said for ONE moment around 1:35 of rd 11 Donaire made a dec to stop. The ref was right in his face, and Donaire head was clear and the ref counts 8...9...10 and THEN Donaire try's the jump up at 11 thing. I cant believe im not hearing one writer bring up the fact he was counted out in the 11th. I'm in no way putting down Donaire who like I said showed a HUGE heart, but how the hell does so many people seem to miss that he was KOed in 11th? I have no doubt Inoue won the fight, but Donaire with his courage won the night, but he was KOed in 11th and that's a fact.

Inoue should've stopped Donaire in the 11th. Donaire was already shot and gassed, and the monster was exposed when he didn't KTFO Old AZZ Donaire, especially after he already dropped him with a body shot a few rounds earlier. This will always be a huge asterick in Inoues' career.

I think the ref saw how exciting the fight was and wanted to give the old guard a chance to shine.

He dropped him in the 11th round...

He dropped him in the 11th round...

shoot, that's even worse. He had that boi hurt, and absolutely writhing in pain. His power is definitely in question if he couldn't even body Donaire in that state. It should have been a quick KO. An even bigger asterick in Inoues' shaky career.

You need to try harder.

What fight did you watch? He did not get a KD earlier then the 11th, and he DID KO him in the 11th. The ref just decided to let him go even though he said "10".

The ref was just giving Donaire a bit of time out of respect for the old man. ANYWAY (Inoue) could have poured on the pressure and gotten Donaire out of there; it would have been easy work.
