Inoue vs Donaire rd 11

[QueensburyRules]

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.

- -U exposing U Tyny Dingy again.

Lmao nobody was "exposed" in this fight as anything other than world class. Between this and your other thread declaring Inoue "exposed" over the orbital fracture ("exposed"...over an incidental injury that could befall anyone), quit while you're behind.

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.

Agree, the ref blew it! Why did he chest bump Inoue before Donaire was down?
As for boxing writers missing it, I'm surprised you're not used to you to the terrible coverage of boxing by now. Most of these people operate as PR for the fighters and the boxing establishment.

yes it was longer than 10 count for sure but who's to say nonito couldn't have beaten the count anyways if ref had started counting earlier?

i thought it was smart for nonito to run away after the body shot stalling the count by at least 2

could've been a strategy in times like that similar to diego corrales spitting out his mouthpiece vs castillo

That would be the easiest million dollar payday of my life. Like feeling a bunch of pillows on my face. I'd rather face one of the ring girls, that would be a MUCH MORE CHALLENGING FIGHT.

Lmao. You would be out like a light from the first one.

I wouldn't even feel that punch, it would be like a pillow.

Inoue overcame an experienced bigger man with a huge punch admittedly past his prime while overcoming a fractured eyesocket double vision a broken nose and a cut in about the worst place a boxer can get one. He didn't panic and outboxed and dropped a future first ballot HOF member. Impressive.

OK if you think what he accomplished was a non event fine that's your choice. Pretty sure you have taken every opportunity in this thread to say that.
