Yeah nothing in the UK (Sky Sports) which is annoying, they could have shown this as a freebie really.
I've got DAZN but only through my fire stick so will probably miss it as at work.
If I find some live DAZN links I'll post them up here 😎

I don't like this fight at all. Donaire is a class act and it's great he's been able to have the late resurgence in his career(silly of him to have been fighting above his weight for so long really), but Inoue is a killer and imo would have annihilated even a prime Donaire.

It's definitely going to be more like watching a long time laugh it up type friend run head first right into oncoming traffic. Donaire will go out swinging for the fences though. Love the fact Inoue arguably a World star is having the finale in Japan. The atmosphere and fanfare can be off the charts and frankly something you just don't see like we used to out of Japan. Oba, Wajima, Guts, Tatsuyoshi great company and Monster right up there.

Who remembers when Japanese hardcore fan favourite Hozumi Hasegawa was moving through divisions ironing everyone out, looked awesome, P4P-er (I loved him)? Veteran Mexican "HOF-er" Montiel went to Japan as a lamb to the slaughter, had no chance, mismatch, yet ironed him out in the 4th round.

Now don't get me wrong, Inoue is different level special, however, Donaire is his highest profile fight to date and still has a P4P lethal left hand.

I don’t think that Hasegawa was the fighter that Inoue is. I think he was good but a little over hyped. The one thing that I’m still not sure about with Inoue is his chin. That always seems to be the question mark on these guys who just knock people out. What happens when someone can take their punch and punch back?

I just don’t think that Donaire has the fire power left whatsoever. I think he still has a good left hand, but part of what made it so good before was the speed of it. One of those “the punch that hurts the most is the one you don’t see.” Donaire doesn’t have near the speed as he once had. It’s possible that he catches Inoue, but I just highly doubt it. Inoue has been on a tear.
