Re-Watched Inoue vs Donaire

[Affogato`]

yeah that 11th round was suspect as hell!

looks like the ref was paid by Richard Schaeffer or something?

I rather see Inoue fight against Francisco Estrada after the unification bouts might be a great p4p fight

But I think inoue future fight might be
Inoue vs 1.Casimero 2.winner of Donaire-Oubaali 3. Rigondeaux
(Hope he can make it )

[BLASTER1]

Donaire looked alot bigger and took Inoues power well.
I think Inoue couldve put more pressure on in some rounds were he had Donaire hurt, but he might have been a bit hesitant from having his eye socket fractured.

[JOITATS]

the most defining thing for donaire's was that 2nd round punch
inoue fighting like that through 10 rounds with double vision, is amazing in itself


not to take anything away from donaire, he rose to the occasion like never before / and is a beast at bw.
but inoue said in the post fight, as much as he respects him,
after the 1st round, he wasn't that impressed... but he got caught bad, and had to fight through on natural instincts.
most guys would have done a kell brook.

Word? so it was that punch in the 2nd round that hurt Inoue so he was not himself for the rest of the fight?

I wanna see Inoue fight on now. He showed he has a chin and can dig deep to win but still think he should have just pressed the gas and put ND away at least 2 or 3 times in that fight. But he held back for whatever reason?

Inoue was hesitant on putting pressure on Donaire because the last tine he did that, Donaire wobbled Inoue with a straight right hamd and left hook that broke his eye socket.

And in the 9th round, Inoue was agressive again and Donaire almost knocked him out with a straight right hand.

Remember, this was Inoue's first test because everyone thought Inoue was still in question especially his chin.

[Thraxox]

Donaire utilized his size and reach against Inoue. Donaire had a better left hook than Inoue and Inoue find out the hard way in the second round and opted to box the slower, older guy. Donaire parried and blocked a lot of Inoue's power punches, especially the left hook because that's Donaire'a bread and butter but cant counter as well as he like because of his slower reflexes.

Had it been a prime Donaire, I wont doubt that he would have blitz Inoue in 6.

What's up bro!

Donaire got to the finals due to a lot of luck, but man I knew this was going to be a war. Inoue has monster talent but he's not exactly hard to hit, and Donaire punches like a mules kick. I wouldn't have been surprised at all if a long in the tooth Donaire had caught Inoue and KO'd him.

Inoue said it was in round two that Donaire landed the shot that fractured his orbital bone and messed his vision up for the remainder of the fight. That's likely why he fought a little safer... had he gone full-on Monster he might be looking like Antonio Margarito and an exchampion!

damn so Donaire landed that big shot and made it competitive I can't imagine if Inoue just went all out in the first round like he did against Payano.

I think Inoue respected and viewed Donaire as a mentor or something and didnt feel its right to stretch him out especially early on but I think thats what made it more competitive? Either that or he overtrained. I remember they pushed this fight back like 3 damn times and Inoue had like a 4 month training camp or something ****** like that lol.

Whats good bro anything new and exciting on your end?

me not so much just got into ***elry and sports card collecting again.

Yer i like what Koba had to say and occasionally even the best fighters struggle abit for different reasons but Inoue survived that fire and made it out with an awesome win.
For me it ticks the last box of what is needed in a great fighter with Inoue.

You could be right with regards to respecting the older Donaire, I mean cmon in the second or third i think he gave Donaire a bow when he accidentally tripped him over.
