hell yes

[Master]

Naoya ‘The Monster’ Inoue and Nonito ‘The Filipino Flash’ Donaire will meet once again in the ring on June 7th at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan.

The pair have clashed previously in 2019 in the final of the World Boxing Super Series and the fight was later voted the Ring Magazine ‘Fight of the Year’, as Inoue emerged victorious by unanimous decision.

This fight will be for three of the four major world titles in the bantamweight division, with the Philippines’s John Riel Casimero holding the only other belt.

Since their last meeting, Inoue has been on a terrific run of form by knocking out his last three opponents including Jason Moloney and Michael Dasmarinas.

Inoue’s last KO victory came against Aran Dipaen who he caught with a triple uppercut, causing Mike Tyson to praise the Japanese bantamweight, saying: “Look at this young fighter called the ‘Monster’, Japanese fighter called the ‘Monster’.


“He’s a mean son of a b****, oh you’re gonna see this bad motherf*****.

“He don’t look like much. He’s better than Manny Pacquiao, just as good. He’s vicious, the monster. That’s a badass guy he beat too, broke him down.

“He beat him so easy, he’s a monster, f***ing monster, he’s a mean little s***.”

Meanwhile, not to be outdone, Donaire has been equally as potent, stopping Nordine Oubaali and Reymart Gaballo, both inside four rounds.

Inoue will undoubtedly go into this contest as the favourite, having won the previous fight, as well as being a top three ranked pound-for-pound fighter.

He has youth on his side being over ten years younger than Donaire.

With that being said, the ‘Filipino Flash’ cannot be written off, as he looks as good at 39-years-old as he did in his prime.

The first fight had everything with a cut, a fractured orbital bone, a knockdown and relentless action throughout, so if the rematch can deliver half of the excitement of the first fight, then we are in for a treat.

Love both these guys. I was worried for Donaire last time and he did great. But he’s 3 years older now. great fight .
This is what Boxing is all about.

nonito showing big balls going back for more. this is what great fighters do. take on the best challenges. the monster will stomp him about midway

[Memphis]

This is on Amazon Prime (Japan) apparently. Which is interesting. Or squeaky bum time if you're DAZN.

[Spicoli]

This is the only way it could be at 118 glad to see it. It's crazy Donaire dropping down and staying on very top..at 39! when the habit is to jump divisions. Mark a day off of work for that Tuesday.

[TitoFan]

I'm a fan of both also. Nonito has always been a favorite of mine. Inoue's greatness cannot be denied... and his record is immaculate. An example to all other champions out there.

This should be one hell of a rematch, but yeah... Nonito's age will be a deciding factor for me. I doubt it goes the distance.

[TIC]

nonito gave everything he had last time & it still wasn't enough

[TIC]

Started cautiously but Inoue scores a knock down in the first round with a big right hand.

Brutal stoppage in the 2nd round by Inoue. Poor Donaire, took a beating. Punch perfect and awesome power.

[TIC]

naoya rocks nonito again. nonito in the corner getting smashed. fights his way out. the monter fires back. nonito down again at the bell. it's over

[TitoFan]

Damn... missed this one. Wonder whether it was televised Stateside.
