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.
