Naoya Inoue vs Nonito Donaire - WBSS Final - Japan - 7/11/19

[Fenster]

Unbelievable 11th, Donaire counted out through body shot, dopey ref lets in carryon, Donaire lands trademark lefthook rocks Inoue to his boots

Inoue is in front by a couple

[Fenster]

Great fight, Donaire is a HOF-er, Inoue needs to work on his defence, although proved his beard.

114-113
116-111
117-109

The second score was about right.

Good fight. Inoue more consistent, but good flashes from Nonito too. Fair result.

Great fight and a nice hour off work blagged to watch it while pretending I was grafting 😁
Both fighters got granite chins.

[Beanz]

Terrific fight. Not that Donaire made Inoue look ordinary, but he deffo removed that air of invincibility. Amazing career for Donaire and a great fight to bow out on should he choose to. Will Inoue go up, and if so will his chin still hold up when he gets clocked by Figueroa or Roman?

Nice treat for a Friday daytime

Thursday even

Good showing by Inoue. It wasn’t as dominant of a performance that maybe he hoped for, but he still impressed and Donaire showed his experience. I had it 7-5 for Inoue plus a KD.

Great fight. I’m looking forward to Inoue vs Nery. Hopefully they can make the fight happen.

Sounds like many missed a helluva live fight with both brought to the brink. Nothing but respect for Donaire. Was doing the rewatch trying to avoid result but good ol Fat Dan popped up on the mobile . So Arum secures Inoue not sure what that means for a needed Inoue v Nery showdown or if he urges him North.

Donaire is different league to those two and proved his sicko power at featherweight (he turned the welterweight Walters into a drunk). However, Inoue did look small in comparison. The superfight between him and Loma at featherweight looked way off.
