The Filipino Flash Nonito Donaire will fight the sensational Japanese  knockout artist Naoya Inoue on June 15 at the Arena Riga in Riga, Latvia. This fight would feature size vs power, experience vs youth. Donaire is the experience and bigger fighter of the two but can he tame the monster Naoya Inoue? What's your thought about this fight?

I am a big fan of Nonito Donaire and did not waste the opportunity to watch him fight live last 2016 against Zsolt Bedak and oh boy, the Filipino Flash just entertained his fans as promised.

edit:
schedule of the fight TBA, no clear announcement yet from the promoter.

I am a solid fan of Donaire too since he never stops to amaze his fans whenever he has a fight. With his strong punches and speed, he always make sure to give the viewers a fight worth watching for. This will be a good match to watch since Inoue also has a good match record with 18W-0L-16KO.

My bet is on Donaire he has the composure to beat Inoue's aggressiveness, this is not new to Donaire he has fought small fighters that are hard puncher and aggressive, this kind of style is what makes Donaire great so I expect a knock out for Donaire against Inoue.

Of course, I am always supported by our fellow countryman Donaire. But I think on this match Donaire will hardly defeat Inoue by having a technical knockout. Donaire has special skills of fast and timing fight and he also fights that come from his heart. While on the other hand, Inoue is not super fast. So, I bet on Nonito Donaire. Everyone will feel the power of the Filipino flash! Like legendary boxer "PACMAN".

That killer punch makes him so popular and love by his fellow country man, he's next to Pacman in terms of popularity, country's finest and for sure
the support of filipino community will be at his back, Donaire was so quiet and now that he's back then we will expect more surprise from him

Inoue has the knock out power, determined and can counter punch. someone's gonna be knocked out very hard among the two. both almost have the same fighting style so its going to be a clash. i'm not sure if Naoya Inoue has fought the bigger opponent yet like Nicholas Walters but for Donaire to last 5 rounds with Walters, he sure can last more than 5 with Inoue. that is if Inoue will really dominate the fight. most probably Inoue will kiss the canvass.

Donaire go to a dangerous waters when he tested Nicholas Walters and we all know what happened to that match. I think Donaire's best weight is at bantamweight, also he has having a hard time trying to squeeze his body with that weight.

I love Nonito but I think I will with the young Inoue here.

Nonito is already way past his prime. I don't know he was still fighting at this stage of his career. I remember Brian Viloria, the Hawaiian Punch and one of his contemporaries. But now Brian has retired already due to age and the wear and tear of boxing. I don't know what the odds are, but if it too good for Donaire, then I will bet on him. But I'm sure he will be the underdog here. Yes, I agree, it will be experience vs youth here. With that said, I'm seeing Inoue by TKO, but I might put some money on the line for Donaire because he was one of my favorite fighter from the Philippines.

donaire can be as stubborn as he is. he paid the price.

Inoue has to be very careful too, he isn't just the only that can counter punch. seen some of his fight and he hasn't fought someone that has the footwork that can get in and out as quick as possible and donaire can do that. donaire has the height and reach advantage that he knows how to use.

Well there's some truth to that. I totally forgot about the guy. I believe Pac is way older but that guy is still adamant on fighting.

I just hope that he'd still give a good fight though, even if he don't win this.

Experienced and ring savvy I'll go for Donaire, he is taller than Inoue and he has a good success knocking out small opponents in the past, this is going to be explosives, both fighters are a hard hitter, but Donaire has a lot of experiences with tough fighters than Inoue.

Donaire has almost the same move with Pacquiao so Inoue must know how to defend or else he'll knock down in every Donaire's punch. I have seen how Donaire fought last time and it was really amazing and I could say that he'll follow the footsteps of Manny.

Out of curiosity i do make some search about past fight histories of Inoue and i would say that this boy wont really give an easy fight for Donaire.
Hard puncher which do utilize more on body shots which can really knockout if you are careless enough.When it comes to experience Donaire do have it
but he shouldnt take this boy carelessly or else he would face up the canvass.

We can really see the gap between an experienced boxer and younger one and i agree that donaire do have that footwork+speed and reach advantage which inoue should be careful about.
Im somehow interested with this fight because it would be speed to speed fight plus having those counter attacks.

If you base your bet on his last fight i think you have to reconsider since Inoue's last opponent is a standing target and don't have the caliber same as that of Donaire but anyways it's your bet. I go for Donaire here for he have that one punch knockout that stopped the rampaging of Vic Darchinyan and Montiel which i consider one of the best in that weight class.

Sometimes in boxing age doesn't matter.
Look at what happened to Pacquiao vs. Broner fighet.
A lot were rooting for Broner because he is a younger boxer considered by many as young vs. old.
I believe, experience and discipline in training have huge factor in contributing Pacquiao's success.
So this case might happen again with Donaire vs. Inoue. An interesting match to watch.

As much as I would like to support Donaire on his quest to win the WBSS Bantamweight Final, I think Inoue will win this fight. Donaire has the punching power and I ma not taking that away from him but he has this attitude of not following the fight plan specially when he is being over whelmed by his opponent. But I hope, he wins this one and bring pride to the Philippines again.

A lot of people here seems like Nonito Donaire, well he is an active boxer I mean his fighting spirit like Manny Pacquiao that when he strikes the punches just so fast and I think Inoue is not just kind of boxer. Nonito is older age than Inoue and I think this match will play better or good to see if they are on final rounds.

Manny and Donaire have an different style in the ring how to knock out the enemy in the ring, do not be offended mate I also a fan of both boxer's but I think Donaire can't break the record of manny.

That is right, I think Donaire is far away from Manny Pacquiao skills, they are not the same when it comes strategies of fighting by their opponent but same they have similarities of speed and fast move. I still support Donaire on this match now and I know he will win this fight against Inoue. Filipino boxers are too motivated to their passion and I think that is one reason they will win in every match had.

Lol, are you really a boxing fan or what? They don't have any similarities whatsoever. Pacman has more footwork and throws at different angle, while Donaire is more a technical counter puncher, and his main weapon is his left hook which Manny seldom use.

we all know that, we're not just talking experience of course both have develop skills over time. its not like donaire freezes his time and inoue was the only that had learned technical boxing over his 16 fights. both learn over time but inoue he isn't the only that's hard hitter in this match. a single left cross from donaire will knock him out hard, without a single defeat i just hope the knock out won't break his spirit.

Inoue should be careful with this as Donaire can end the fight with a single punch and i think it's the right cross that would do the damage. It's the punch that knocked Darchinyan and Fernando Montiel out. Inoue is young and if ever he loses this fight fight surely he can move on.

I don't have full details about this Naoya Inoue but upon looking at Wikipedia, he's still young damn. And his stats is impressive, 18 wins, 16 K.Os and 0 losses. I guess I need to watch the past matches of Inoue and compare his fighting style against Donaire. I know that Donaire is very well experienced and has been in the industry for so long, made his name on his own. The crowd here looks favoring on the young one, this is interesting, I'll get back to this thread after watching some of Inoue's vid.

Inoue is a hard puncher but his defense is still questionable, he hasn't faced a fighter like Donaire who is an excellent counter puncher with a wicked left hook, so my bet will be on Donaire I check both of their recent fights although Inoue is a hard puncher he still lacks toughness.

It would be known when the fight comes.His toughness would be test out if donaire would land up some hard hits on his body or even
on his jaw and lets see on how brittle it is.

This is an example of exaggerated example on comparing between them.It clearly a blinded post. ;D

It seems he isn't popular with the fighting style of this two. They are way different in fighting style. As for the fight, I guess Donaire will get this fight. Considering his experience and has been fought a bigger name before. Still he can't be so easy against this young one. This fight will be ending in KO.

Well, we could say that he followed the footsteps of Manny Pacquiao but on the other hand, Donaire also made his own trail. He may be inspired by Manny's achievements and victories but he made his own moves and legacy.

Anyway, I'd go with another Filipino pride—Nonito Donaire! Inoue may be younger but I'd go with experience and to my fellow countryman.  :D Besides, with Donaire's skills in counter punching, I know he could defeat Inoue despite his opponent's hard punch.

MONSTER too good to lose to anyone at his weight class
He has beaten his last 8 opponents by knockout and has age advantage over "Filipino Flash".
Imagine 'MONSTER' is a large favorite for this finale when odds are released.   

I like this fight for Donaire, looks like he is the favorites of this fight but I cannot confirm yet since no available betting lines for this match.

I was searching here  https://old.sportsbet.io (https://old.sportsbet.io/sports/boxing/U3BvcnRzYmV0TmV3R3JhcGhxbFNwb3J0Q2F0ZWdvcnk6NWJhYTBjNjgwMGQyMDAwMDA2MTMxOWRi/matches) and line is not up yet, maybe it's already up in other betting sites, hopefully you guys can share.

If you have watched some fights of Inoue, he is somewhat careless, very open just when he attacks. This guys hasn't experienced a counter puncher fighter yet. We'll find out soon what they guy is made of facing a more dangerous fighter. Japanese are very  disciplined though so he could win this final fight so long as it doesn't reach more than  6th rounds. Donaire seem to have lasted 12 round fights, Inoue hasn't.

The other thing that can go for Donaire is he also did beat another great Japanese fighter before, Toshiaki Nishioka. There was a lot of hype going into this fight as Nishioka is the champion if I'm not mistaken that time. But Donaire dismantled Nishioka and TKO him. So there's a possibility that Donaire, being the technical of the two can offset's Inoue power in the early rounds.

It can be done again as he still have the game that most of his fans love to see, not really sure about how good his next opponents but basing to the  hype donaire is the favorite from this fight, much better if we can see him finishing with TKO.

I didn't see the fight, but I tried on youtube and you can see how technical this Donaire is in the face of a solid boxer with more experience like Nishioka. He tried the body at first and then the quick counterpunch and uppercut but it was the jab that actually sealed the wining. With just a straight jab while Donaire surprisingly in the corner, Nishioka was unbalanced. He wasn't able to lift one foot to support from falling.

Donaire is no doubt one of the greatest fighter of our generation,getting the title to the late “Flash Elorde” I think his speed is the secret weapon used to beat every opponent

But we all know that maturity is on the man now,the speed is lessen that we can see in his last fights and one of them is when he lose against another fighter (in which I forgot the name sorry)

So in this game I’m on 50/50 chance of Nonito will win this or the other way around

Donaire could be the biggest trophy in his career if he wins even by decision, but we all know Donaire wants to make a great comeback and this is his biggest opportunity, by beating all these great fighters in the elimination, and besides the weight is very much suited for Donaire, he fails miserably campaigning for a higher weight.

I guess we can't really tell whose gonna win really because they are both strong, Donaire has a lot of experience thus he already knows how to counter attack, he is also known with his strong punches and his fast, by the name itself ''flash''. Inoue is young and considering he is named the monster then he would be hard to beat as well, with no losses and 16 out 18 won by knockout, that's really something. I believe it will be a very remarkable fight.

I've checked both of their past fights their weakness and experiences and Donaire has a good experience fighting smaller fighters, he always wins those fights, sometimes via knock out to opponent that are smaller than him, he really knows how to explore his opponent's weakness that are smaller than him.

we can't discount that 16 wins by knockout out of 18 fights. young sure has the knockout power and speed. he even knockout someone by a body punch thats how hard young is. but we shall also consider who those guys he knocked out. if they were all just peony pawns fresh from being a 4 rounder, you might have to re think who you are rooting before the bet. but we'll never know.

The winning of Donnaire is have a good punch against to his opponent, that he won it. He is a great boxer like Pacquiao that they have same nationality. Not only Filipino are support on Donnaire because of his way of fighting.

He is past his prime but he has not reached the retirement age yet in boxing. Manny Pacquiao is turning 41 this December 2019 and GGG or Gennadiy Gennadyevich Golovkin turned 37 last April. Nonito Donaire is just 36

Nonito Donaire uses Orthodox stance while Manny Pacquiao uses orthodox stance  and he can switch to south paw stance. That alone can pretty much say that they dont have the same fighting style or move.

That’s why he was called the Flash because of his speed and stamina so basically this opponent will supper a lose to this fight

Nonito is one of the Filipino pride next to the Great Manny Pacquiao so the Philippines is standing for this fight and look for another belt from. Nonito Donaire Jr.

Donaire's skill and experience is the second for Manny Pacquiao and he has also a lot of local fans and supporters. Inoue will have a hard time with this fight and i already see Donaire with a huge advantage in this round. Who knows? There's a lot of possibilities that can happen but if i will be betting, ill go for the country's pride Nonito Donaire.

Manny Pacquiao is a southpaw and yeah Donaire uses orthodox stance but can switch to southpaw if he want.

I could say that Donaire is very different from the Pacman because Nonito is more of a counter puncher while Manny is more on the offensive, he bring the fight to the opponent and that what makes money an attraction to the true fan of this boxing science.

This will be sad for me as one of my favorite from Japan's boxing athletes fighting a fellow Filipino fighter who never the less gives me worries win or lose. I love my countrymen so I am will support Donaire, he is one of our champions, he is also second of my idol fighters, well the first is MP of course. This will be a good fight hope they give us what we deserve to see.

You can bet where you want, if you have a feeling that Inoue will beat Donaire then close your eyes, bet for Inoue. My guts tell me to bet for Donaire, he maybe old but with the smart that he posses, i think he can defeat this Inoue.

its always been entertainment for donaire, he always put a best effort to give a knockout either him or the other. if Inoue wins, its going to be still a good fight. it don't matter who wins as long as they are giving their best. Inoue's weakness hasn't been expose yet as we weren't defeated for the first time. if donaire win over him that's when he'd be match to someone who has the capabilities just as how they exposes juan manuel lopez's weakness which were opened by salida. successive loss will happen later.

Do we have a venue where the fight would happen? I just hope it will be in US soil because Donaire seems to show us very impressive win in US so it might have a effect on him to showcase his talent again in the US, just saying.  ;D

Same as Nonito Donaire is living in America for long time now,so the climate there will favor he’s conditioning not like if the fight will be happening in Asia

And he is showing the fans and the world more impressive when the audience is from every part of the world ,I am praying that he will retain his title and make the Filipino proud again

Well since Donaire lives in San Francisco, USA and there is big Filipino population in that state it would not surprise me to have it at a big venue there.
He is the household name in this fight so it only makes sense to have this massive event there then in Japan from Inoue lives
I think Donaire will end up losing this fight not because he is over the hill but because the Japanese fighter is very elite athlete younger in his prime

I thought he is from General Santos city just like Manny Pacquiao! Famous boxers in the Philippines are usually from this region. There was once a great champ in the past whom we call "the poorboy of Dadiangas"  or Rolando Navarrete. General Santos city as far as I know was formerly named as Dadiangas. I think someone here in the forum also said it before. 

This is  Rolando Navarrete. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUx0tFcWB6w

Anyway, He had been everywhere already but certain altitudes are for the training only. Donaire can fight wherever it may held.

No doubt that Donaire is a good counter puncher too and knowing that people do called him "The Flash" due to his fast jabs and counters so for the youngster inoue shouldnt really be careless on his actions or way too confident because the opponent wont really be an easy one.Just having a one mistake will lead to your defeat.
It would really be a depressing thing if it do happens but well its been always part of a competition.

Other than Andy Ruiz Jr., Nonito Donaire is one of the most surprising boxer out their with his recent wins in the World Boxing Super Series. A lot of people here are saying that he only got lucky against Ryan Burnett that he injured his back but what the judges, commentators, and even the viewers didn't see that Donaire is the one who injured Burnett, here is the Youtube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sMJ91Vmr2Q) on how Donaire landed the punch that led to Burnett retiring the match. With Naoya Inoue in his next probable fight I think Donaire isn't a stranger in fighting younger guys being matched to him, in fact I can see that he is comfortable and confident when he is fighting the young guns so I think that this is what Donaire wants and he can prove himself at the same time by doing so.

This fight is going to be held in Latvia, neutral ground as both fighter did not came from this place. Donaire have impressive win in the Philippines too and eager to showcase his talent in front of his compatriots and as fas as i can remember he have not lost a fight in the Philippines.

Anyone please update if the odds for these two if available in the betting sites already.
I am also a boxing fan and I am a fan of Nonito "The Flash" Donaire, nice to see him fight again and this opponent is too small and short for him.
Pretty sure he has the advantage to win this fight, hopefully good betting odds for Donaire.

Probably broken ribs. In a slow motion, it looks like a very hard punch that the pain can be seen in his face. Burnett informed his team about his injury but allowed him top go on another round that forces him to use his right that causes more injury after it. He should have known, he destined to loss right after the pain he felt, for sometime he hasn't move his right hand that's an indication.

He was the champion so he wants to prove that he can still fight, that's the heart of the champion, they don't easily give up.
The only devastating loss of Nonito Donaire was against Nicholas Walters, where he really got out-powered by a stronger opponent, he has the skills but he got aggressive because he wants to give people more entertainment seeing a knockout from him, but he was the one who got knock out.
I think he learned a lot that time, he will be more careful now as he is also not getting any younger.

Correct, he hasn't lost any in the Philippines. So it will be interesting to hear the venue is Latvia, maybe they chooses in as a neutral ground whatsoever. But I don't think it will be a factor though, 2 out of last 3 fights of Donaire where outside of the US. And he also losses in the US soil so, I would say that no it doesn't really matter where the fight is being held. Just look at Joshua, first time in US and he was annihilated by Ruiz Jr.

It doesn't matter where they fight, as long as the fight will end up a knock out, it's not going to be questionable, unlike the fight of Manny against Horn where it ended up in a decision. I know Donaire still has the power to knock his opponent, so I'm expecting him to be aggressive in this fight and of course knock his opponent.

I look into his records he seem to put up a good entertaining fight every time. A  knockout would be more entertaining but we'll see how. Inoue isn't a peony that he could bring down easily so expect both are going to be cautious at every move. Both are knock out artist so I'd be disappointed if there is no knock outs in this fight.

Nonito Gonzales Donaire Jr. his world title championships four weight classes

IBF Flyweight title from 2007 to 2009
WBC and WBO Bantamweight titles in 2011
IBF Super Bantamweight title in 2012
WBO Super Bantamweight title twice 2012
& 2016
WBA Featherweight title in 2014.
Bantamweight title since 2018

Over 45 fight he 40 win and only has 5 losses.
He is one of the good pro boxer like Many Pacquiao.

Are you trying to compare him to Manny based on the belt that he had won? Lol, It's not even close dude. Nonito is a good fighter but we should stop comparing the two. Only comparison is that they are both Filipinos. Anyways, I'm still divided as to who to bet on, I might pass this one out for good.

Let us bet? I am for Donaire not because he is good but we do live in the same country and I support our players so as to get pride for our country. Anyway, Donaire is one of a kind boxing player. I even think that he could achieve what Manny had achieve as an 8th time world division title holder.

Aside from that, Manny Pacquiao moves had been closely compared with Donaire that both boxers had the same movement, speed and power.

This must the first time I have heard of Japanese boxing champion (no offense).

I would put my bet on Donaire here with all his experience and skill. It's probably going to be en easy win if he is in top condition. If not, then it'll be a tough fight since his opponent can do serious damage in the early round with those powerful punches.

Usually though, Japanese fighters or least majority of asian fighters stays on the lower weight category because that's how their body is design. Pacquiao though is different because he is a freak of nature.

I'm sure every boxer train very hard and going in the fight in top level condition. But as you have said, Donaire has been in the game for so long that he knows what to do like adjusting to his opponent and seeing weaknesses and exploit it. But it's going to be a very difficult fight for him.

He is a good fighter, but to achieve what Manny has achieved, that sounds impossible considering his age now.
Let's just be contented of what he has accomplished so far, if I rank the Boxers in the Philippines, he is next in terms of popularity.



He has problem with his defense, and Manny is a heavy hitter who can hit bigger opponent, you'll know that checking Manny's history of fights.

The only weakness I see on Inoue is the lack of defence. Because he is such a heavy puncher, he seems to just go out and try to go with the KO every time he faces anyone. He doesn't have any foot work and I'm sure Nonito will try to look at that angle that he can exploited.

This is also the thing that separates Manny from him, Manny is good at looking at angles and punching when the opposing fighter is not prepared and there is where Manny usually got his KO. And Nonito can do that against a hard hitting Inoue, then he has a high chance to win by KO.

Donaire is not fighting previously we don't know his conditioning status, if he's fit same a like with his past fights this will be an interesting bet for him, he also have the killing instinct, once he started to throw punch he also wanted to finish his opponents in a knock out.

Hey dude, Im not comparing Nonito Donaire to Many Pacquiao I only said that the two is the same good filipino boxer fighter. 

Look I get it that many Filipinos like their native countryman Donaire but he will be koed when he fights the Japanese MONSTER.
The odds are not giving Donaire much of any chance at winning so its ok to have pride for your country but you must also look at reality
https://i.imgur.com/OIBMhsd.png

If you watch the game of Inoue you can have a hard time to decide where to bet, and he has a good upper job and its a big threat for Nonito. I know he's a Pilipino but his attitude is not that good compare to Manny Pacquiao, I still hope that he win this fight since its still a big pride for us, but Inoue has a better chance for this fight. Let's just watch and grab a popcorn because this will be a long fight.

Wow! with such odds, putting a small bet on Donaire is not a bad thing. If he can survive the early onslaught from the young Japanese fighter, then his chances of actually winning the fight is higher.

Which sports book is this?

Odds maker can be wrong, Donaire may not be in his prime but still he can put opponent's face on the canvass. I like this kind of odds, have to bet small and win big and the possibility of Donaire winning the fight is very high for me, i maybe wrong but that is what my guts tell me. Again, Donaire's high boxing IQ could be tested here and i know that he is smart enough to win this match.

Also surprise about this odd. I'd bet for Donaire for this match. Looks like they underrate this fighter when in fact this guy has the punch that can kill a monster. Inoue looks like a kid with autism that couldn't wait his turn but attack. The only reason why he won all of his fight is because those are amateurs who just curl to hide face while being punched but not Donaire.

Please share to us that betting site, I like to hammer that odds early.

They underestimated Donaire with these odds, but I believe oddsmaker did not make a mistake here, they made odds based on people's perception and we Filipino's just really like Donaire so we think he can beat his opponent easily. But seriously, I like the odds, whatever experts say, I'm ready to bet blindly with that odds.

Both fighters are strong--i wouldn't say things now according to their previous fights but if one of these fighters didn't change their strategy then one can do an exploit to it. I know Inoue has the ability to knock down his opponents but with an experienced boxer like Donaire, a quick counter punch will stop everything of what's his opponent's been doing. So, it's up to these two on how they will manage to change their style in the ring but i still choose Donaire here since he has more experience in boxing.

Im waiting for the answer on what Sportbook is this.Odds are very tempting and it shows that Donaire is the the underdog here.
I dont know why they do set out that kind of odds but if its real then this is a good betting opportunity actually.Just even to put up some small
amounts with having 15x you would still get some decent profits.

Let's wait for @mich to be online, but I can confirm that it's the real odds, I made a research and saw it in some sportsbook but I could not share it here since I don't trust those sportsbook, they don't have ANN thread here, so we cannot read some feedback.

This fight will be happening in June 15, so have few days remaining to bet, but if we cannot find a good sportsbook, we can't bet on this game.

I've search in different sportsbook here, sportsbet.io, nitrogen, cloudbet, bitcoinrush, and betbtc, but not line for this event.

Damn, I interested on what sport books is this. It looks like a sure winner on Inoue here. I have a quick glance as Sportsbet.io and yes, they are not offering this fight, just a few not recognisable names in their and I don't know why they didn't listed this good fight.

Underestimating Nonito Donaire will only bring favor to us who supports him from the starts,I also wanna take the hammer so we can profit from them

Inoue is a good fighter as we can see from his standings but that’s not enough to defeat the Filipino Flash who’s always ready to defend his title

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1458034.msg51430639#msg51430639

No, that is not true.  The WBSS returns on June 15 with Mairis Briedis vs Krzysztof Glowacki and Yunier Dorticos vs Andrew Tabiti for spots in the cruiserweight final.
Both of those fights are listed on Sportsbet as Sportsbet is the best site for boxing and ufc.

Sportsbet will have odds for this fight and I will be betting on Monster by KO again  ;D

Donaire is also one of my favourite boxer's next to Manny Pacquaio. They have different style to knock out the opponents but they only have one goal, that is to win in boxing ring. Inoue vs Dinaire match up will become classic since they are both veteran in the name of boxing. However, I will bet for Donaire.

Thanks for sharing, line is there but currently offline now.

I was basing on the OP as it stated it will happen in June 15..


Well, what matters now is the line is available and I will be waiting until it's online again.

Sorry my bad, i thought that this fight is an undercard for that cruiserweight final but as i reviewed the article, this fight has not been scheduled yet but definitely will face each other though.

I'm going to update OP later, sorry for the inconvenience that i may have brought to everybody here. :(

I did ask about the listing of this fight in sportbetting.io, they said they final date so the reason why they didn't list it. I got excited to see the odds of the fight but the previous post about the odds may not be true. I have been watching the youtube highlights of both fighter and i can see inoue has a chance to win but definitely not that big. He fights with just amateur fighters unlike Donaire.

Good point, he hasn't face a fighter like Donaire and we all know that during Donaire's prime at bantamweight, he demolishes great champions along the way.

So it's really hard to under estimate him even at his age, that's why I was quite surprised to see the current odds.

This is the  line (https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/boxing/international/matchups/inoue-naoya-rodriguez-emmanuel-5c50a62664c654735dc7acac) shared by @Terence Crawford but until now the market is still unvailable, I keep checking on the link but was not able to see it open yet, I'll definitely place my bet as soon as it's open.

Here are the odds coming from Sports Bet
https://i.postimg.cc/gJKzXW56/Inoue-Donaire.jpg (https://postimages.org/)
Inoue is the heavy favorite in this match as we can see if we place $100 to Inoue, you will take home $105 only while if you place and risk your $100 to Donaire, you will go home $750 richer. Planning to take a risk on Donaire because of the possibility of an upset. Donaire is still full of surprises.

It's a different sportsbet I believe, I never gamble on a site that has similar name of sportsbet.io as I never know if they are reputable.
We need some feedback from people here who experience gambling on that site, what is the particular name of the gambling site?

Interesting odds but what specific site is this? I think I'll bet with Donaire for this game. Though the crowd's favorite is Inoue but you are right that Donaire can surprise us with his every match.
How much you are betting with Donaire for this match?

That's to tempting to place a bet, there's always a chance for Donaire even it's seems to be an under dog from this fight upsets can be done
and if you are a risky gambler you can place your bet at his side and see if luck will give you the chance to win over the favorite.

Seen on the other page of some sportsbook offering odds but this now on sportsbet which I do definitely make some bets for Donaire on this one.
8.5 odds will be nasty and I agree that this would be a possibility of an upset fight.

I don't mind losing with this kind of odds with my bet going for Donaire. Size and experience is on Donaire's side and oh boy, if those left hook will land then it's over for the monster.

For Christsake. Can anyone tell us PLEASE which FUCKING sport betting site is that? 
This question had been asked before but none ever care to answer, is that sport betting site exist or not? 

I haven't seen that interface before as I have only tried few of them. I just wanted to verify if they really have that kind of odds and do they do that regularly.

As long you bet only with a spare money that wouldn't be an issue to your bet. If you believe with the skill Donaire has, he's no longer an amateur boxer and there will always be upset like this.
And it's not your luck that will allow you to win this game but it is Donaire whom will fight against Inoue.

I never understood these type of matches, like if one side is so much better than the other side than why are they even fighting?
For the off chance that Donaire will hit one accurate good punch and possibly KO Inoue by luck?

I mean this is boxing and I could myself (never fought let alone boxed) face Mayweather and 999999 times out of 1000000 times Mayweather will win but maybe I will mistakenly hit him in a bad place like liver and KO him? Makes no sense to bet on something like this with this much horrible odds, what the hell is 1.05?

Been waiting for his reply on what bookie basing on those screenshots but now it doesnt matter yet Sportsbet already
having the best online for this fight.It might be lesser comparing 15x- 8.5x but as i said earlier this is already a good betting opportunity.
They are making Donaire as an underdog.Let see on what would happen next.

I did not see this posts asking about the source for the odds so Im sorry
https://www.bitdice.me/dashboard/sports

Tried to visit out Bitdice.me on that sports page due to good odds for donaire but I cant able to see even I do search down

the entire list of boxing events.

A gamblers might still wanting to play less risk if they know how Inoue fought and they will back him up even with this small odds to  win,
there's a lots of different gambling style, some might take the risk playing for Donaire then others will bet with Inoue risking big amount of
money thinking that it's gonna be a sure bet.

I see the point that bookies are just after with how the bettors will show interest regarding to this fight and they will place the odd
according to what they've seen to be profitable on their side.

Same here, looks like we are having a big problem chasing for the Donaire odds, I might run a bounty giving a winner a reward just to provide the a sportsbook where the line of this match up is available. LOL

In order to see the odds you have to Register with the sportsbook which only takes a few seconds + no email verification required
No need to pay a Bounty but I do accept Merit  ;)

I found the betting line for this event, but was surprise the event will happen on November 1, 2019 based on the site below.
https://www.jetwin.com/en-us/sports/boxing/boxing-world-boxing-super-series-inoue-naoya-donaire-nonito-bantamweight-final

We got donaire at 16.32, that's a pretty nice odds.

fuck it! and all excitements died down. i was thinking it can happen next month. okay so maybe they give more time for each other, both are scared their careers going to end when a punch can end it. negotiations must have been done here. anyway, this thread will just be updated in november or we'll create another later on.

It's alright mate, at least we already know the schedule of this fight.
One of the reasons why we don't see this line yet in several sportsbook since it's not happening soon.

It killed the thrill but the odds are confirmed, I think there's a limit betting on Donaire because if there's none, I would put a decent amount on it.

I don't think it is a case of one being scared of the other. It is more likely that the delay was on the side of organizers. They probably want more time to build more hype and get more $$$ from the fight.

That's probably one of those reason, as publicity needs to get more attentions from the fans, this fight will happen and we will hear more about it
when the coming date is going to be closer, extension maybe needed due to the fact that there's also a coming events between Pacman and Thurman
not sure if that affecting this fight but again its need to get more support for promoters to be be successful.

Yes of course! The unwanted emotions before the event will attract their fans to bet more. For example, what will Donaire said during their weighing might affect to the bets of everyone. I think the match of Donaire is too risk because his enemy, Inoue is more aggressive than him. Well, let us see who will be the king inside the court. I dunno who is the challenger with them?

He'll see that risk but Donaire is up for this challenge and he knows if he beat his opponent, he will become popular again and might get a good fight again with a possibility to earn good money. They are in the business, they fight for money not only for pride but primarily for money since it's an entertainment, we don't know if it's postpone to the date posted above but I believe as long as it happens this year, it could attract more fans if they can successfully do the promotion.

I don't compare this fight to the fight of Pacman and other popular boxer which happens in MGM or any popular venue in the US, and I don't think we have a PPV to wait for this fight.

Lol boxers afraid of nothing even their life can risk in each time they go up the ring,but cases happens all the time specially in this kind of event that expecting huge fans.maybe they still seeking for ticket buyers or investors that’s why the event has been canceled and adjusted to longer time

got it they wanna make more money out of it before anyone's career end. it could even be their last fight so they should at least make it big since we may not ever see one of them again on the ring. of course boxers are afraid which is why some pick fights or just avoid bouts and run around during the fight. they may call it strategy but that ain't gonna work for someone who knew strengths of a boxer.

Quite disappointing that for some unknown reasons the fight has no schedule yet, the fight is not popular in the United States which is quite disappointing because both fighters are great and have proved their worth but here in Asia it's a big buzz especially in Japan I hope this fight push through as soon as possible, they fight represent two of Asia's best boxers.

This is the schedule of the game as that's what is written in the sportsbook.

I am with my Filipino Brethren in this fight but I can not take out in my mind how Naoya Inoue fight in the ring and his Signature name in the Ring had totally suited his fighting style, The Monster because of his incredible speed and punching power and still undefeated It's like I am truly supporting Nonito Donaire and aiming in losing my bet on him, But maybe he will surely think of a way to counter Inoue, Just don't let his guard down and keeping his speed faster than Inoue's Speed, I think his name the Flash is not totally for show and could sure get him this win.

There could be some arrangements about the PPV and who's gonna get more shares of the profit. This Nonoy Donaire is like a celebrity in the Philippines. Being one of the top fighter in the country he deserves coverage, he comes on the television for some interviews and this goes for Monster Inoue as well. I guess the production wanna make more money out of it.

Chances is always there for Donaire, he have the capabilities and he's also one of those who have a good knock out punch, if he will be given the
chance it will be a blow out for him as Donaire can do some good combination punch to finish his opponents, it will be an interesting how this two
fighters will attract gamblers and fans to watch for them.

We do know on whats the capability of Donaire and the thing here to be talked about is on how hard is Inoue's jaw.Among on his fights that i review on youtube,he havent being hit up hard by his opponents since he can punch more faster and doesnt give out any chance but what if Donaire would hit up a solid counter punch.Would he able to get up? lol

All of you Filipino fans of NONITO are better off with just saving your money in this case he will not defeat the MONSTER
It is sometimes better to make a bet with your mind and not with your heart as so many of you are doing here.
Believe me when I say that NONITO has 0% chance in victory here so thats why the odds are so stacked against him

That is why they are called fans, they are willing to support any of their boxers no matter what. All sports have this sort of fanatics, so whatever you say to them, their minds is already closed. If Nonito has 0% according to you then so be it. Remember though, there is this thing called upset. Just like what we witnessed on Anthony Joshua vs Andy Ruiz Jr recently.

I have watched the top Knockouts of Inoue hours ago and I say that he is an absolute "MONSTER" on the ring. Good counter puncher and his punch are very solid especially his body shots are devastating. This is the reason why he is still undefeated at this time.

I'm from Philippines and to be honest, I'm not a fan of Nonito so I remain neutral on this fight and will just watch whoever win on this fight. The only question is when it will happen :D.

To be honest, I am too but I am not a fan of Nonito.

Don't get me wrong though my countrymen. It is not that I don't support Filipinos or their fights it is just that I am not that attracted to his fights, I don't know why though. I think this will be a good fight though, if you say that Inoue is a counter puncher, well, Nonito is too. His counters are so vicious too and that is the reason he is called The flash. Nonito has the experience so he can take down the Monster in a Flash. Pun intended.

Inoue is clearly the favorite here but to say Nonito has zero chance of defeating him is pure BS. Odds may be a good indication but we've already seen that upsets happen. One hook or one counter can change the whole fight. 

I agree, zero chance, Lol, every boxer has a puncher chance. Donaire's left hook is still deadly and can knock everyone at that division.

But saying he has zero chance? That's ridiculous, you mean to say that when the bell rings everyone is expecting that Donaire will lost and worst get's a freaking KO?

Totally BS if they say that Nonito has no chance of winning against the monster. Nonito is a former world champion and he dismantled the likes of Darchinyan and Montiel which for me a big names in the smaller division. Fighting against this undefeated young fighter from Japan is a challenge for Nonito and for me he has a big chance to win and it would be by knockout. I'm betting for him to do that.

All 13 highlights of Naoya “Monster” Inoue against non Japanese boxers
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enJhI7nCfzI&feature=youtu.be

Of course, I also believe it's a knockout form either boxer but I like Donaire to win since he has the big odds and I surely enjoy my winning.

Donaire advanced to the finals by knocking his opponent, so no one should underestimate him on what he can do in this fight, what I know and I believe that Donaire is a smart fighter and he has more experience against this young undefeated opponent, so an upset is possible.

Update for this fight:

Naoya Inoue vs. Nonito Donaire
Date: November 7,2019
Venue: Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan

So the date has been finalized as reported in boxingscene.com.

https://www.boxingscene.com/naoya-inoue-vs-nonito-donaire-november-7-japan--141527

Enough time to do some more promotions and attract viewers and gamblers to support both fighters, both fighters have their own respective titles and aside from that they also have a good reputations from this sports, good to know that there's still 3 more months to bring the hype and interest for
fans to place their bets from this fights.

Well, both fighters have 2 hands and 2 feet. Both fighter will be using a gloves that are regulated by the sports body who sanctioned this fight. When they step inside the ring, anything can happen. Yes the odds not be in favor of Nonito but everyone has a chance of winning inside the ring. 0% chance? Maybe yes, he is not as good as Inoue based on the fight history, but still I believe he can pull this one out. Sad thing is the fight will happen in Japan so crowd will be on the side of Inoue.

I’m not a fan of Nonito Donaire because of he’s personally,I don’t know but he has no appeal for me (don’t get mad Donaire fan because Im still proud of being kababayan)
I rather watch the fight of “Ahas” Nietes than this game,but ofcourse I will check if he win or lose as Fellow Pinoy.
LEt him think what he want but we will laugh at him when Nonito  eat Inoue’s heart on this fight lol

I was not able to check the latest odds of the fight, the last time I saw it, Nonito seems to be no match against Inoue based on the odds, but since this is a championship fight and Nonito has showed some good fights lately, I would try to put some amount for Nonito winning the fight.

Hoping for an upset here.

It's because Inoue is touted to be the next pound for pound king. Watch his videos and indeed he is a complete fighter. His body shots, power in both hands, does have a solid chin, in short no one has find a weakness in him.

Not bad if you put some money on the Filipino Flash, we all know that he is already in the twilight of his career and way past his prime. But maybe, he can turn back the clock and we can witness his vaunted check left hook hitting flush and let's see if Inoue can withstand it.

I was checking on the odds now but I could find any, I checked it with sportsbet and nitrogensports but it's not available.
This should be in sportsbook if people think Inoue is gonna be a star in the future.

I am a Filipino and I can say that Nonito is the one closest to Manny Pacquiao's legacy (though it is still way too far if you will imagine). However I now have a doubt on his capacity, for me he is not as deadly as before and he is now more careless so I guess he will find a hard time to the Japanese boxing superstar Naoya Inoue. Well, Donaire's last 2 matches after his 5th loss were successful. He finished his last opponents with stoppage and KO and I must admit that it was quite impressive. Both contenders got their own achievements making this a close match, I can't even decide which one to pick. Anyway, I'm now excited and expect this would be an action packed match.

Him being the underdog of the fight, that makes the fans excited.
He is older than Inoue since Donaire is 36 years old while Inoue is only 26 years old, wow...this is similar to Pacman vs Thurman which they have 10 years age gap but the only difference is Pacman was the favorites while in this fight Donaire is the underdog, actually a heavy underdog.

Based on this site - https://www.oddschecker.com/boxing/naoya-inoue-v-nonito-donaire/winner

Donaire's odds is around x8 to x10, what a good return if he would win and you bet on him.

I dont agree that Inoue do have that solid chin yet among on all his fights i didnt see that he had been hit up on that part hardly.So i cant say that he had a tough chin.

yet most of this opponents got knockdown on earlier rounds due to solid hard punches.No doubt that this kid do had a bright future on boxing career and talking about Nonito i cant say that he's already on his twilight of its career and regarding odds,this would surely favored for inoue.

It is still too early I think. Inoue is a great fighter and I don't think he is not that popular. He is so explosive making grear combos and nuke punches that could make their enemies kneel or hit the canvas. I think this will be a great fight for Nonito, will he make another undefeated first loss or this will be another great win for Inoue.

https://i.imgur.com/8Bw7GD5.png

Well there you guys are we have a official championship fight!

https://i.imgur.com/MIJlqwf.png

He already put up a impressive resume so I would say that he is already on the way to being great. One thing we should understand is that he is on a division wherein it doesn't get the attention as to lets say the welterweight. That is why he is not popular for casual boxing fans. But for those who have been betting and following boxing, I would say he is one of the best currently. However, being a Pinoy, I would support Donaire here and hope he can upset Inoue. One advantage of Nonito here is his experience, it could play a major role if the fight goes to distance.

I'll definitely be going to bet for Donaire, he still packs a hard punch, I have seen his recent match and he still has it, I thought this match will not push through because they announced it last July, but I'm glad it will happen.

I agree that  Inoue is a hard puncher but he is a not a polished fighter and he never fought a fighter of Danaire's caliber, but we'll see this November.

Yeah Donaire is a good fighter but he lacks the determination and the patience in the fight. He always wants to end the game early but when the match goes beyond 5rounds, he losses his composue and his stamina started to take toll. Now if he is determined to get back his glory days, he should double his training and also train hard for his stamina for 12 rounds of boxing.

After his loss to Walters, I think he already learn how to fight smart.
He is fast and strong but he can't take down every opponent he like, he need to be smart all the time, and if he was not too aggressive with a stronger Walter in the past, he would have won the fight since he moves better and his jab is hitting.

Even before the Walters fight, Donaire is already a smart figher for me. You can't be a technical boxer if you are not smart and Nonito is a technical one, he have a high IQ on this sweet science. Walters was just the bigger and stronger fighter on that night that is why he lost.

No, Donaire has always had a good ring IQ and that is why he was able to knock out Vic D. that catapulted his name to boxing fans. He knows the guy has the habit of lowering his right hand and Nonito timing it perfectly. As for the Walters lost, that guy is too big for him that why he was outclassed in every angle.

He has been hit before so for me he has a decent to solid chin. But if Donaire can crack that in the early rounds, it will have a huge impact in the fight and Inoue's game plan might chance. Nonito is very good at cracking some of his opponents chin so its possible that he can do it against Inoue.

Exactly, Nicholas Walters is a very difficult fight for Nonito that time. As far as I can remember, Nonito is going up in weight and Walters is the champion that time. And we all know that when someone goes up, the power is not being carried all the way and of course the competition is very different. Only Manny Pacquiao can do that because he is an exceptional boxer.

I agree he has good success on small fighters compare to a bigger fighter, Inoue is all punch, not a very technical fighter compare to Donaire but he all know Donaire has a weak spot and Inoue will try  to exploit that, good luck to both fighters, the best fighter will definitely win here.

Walters was really strong at his division but he loss to Lomachenko which is one of the my favorite boxer, I hope he can fight Pacman too, lol..
Anyway, although Nonito is good but we can't compare him to Manny, he is the only Filipino boxer that have made history in the boxing world, the rest as just ordinary fighters.

Finally, another Philippine fighter taking center stage. It's been a while seeing a Filipino fight aside from Manny.

That means the fight may not go beyond Round 6 because Inoue likes to end fights quickly as well and young fighters usually loves to trade. 

I think if the fight come into the judge hand, the Japanese fighter will win.  I don't know but I watch several fights against Japanese boxer wherein no matter how ahead the japanese opponent in points, the Japanese boxer always win.  And I have a feeling that the same thing happen here.  And about the match up, I believe that Donaire have the upper hand here the only thing that I worry is that Donaire will look for a 1 punch knock out.   I have seen him try to do this kind of stuff and it ends him losing the fight.

You might not know boxing if you think that only Pacquiao and Donaire is the only Filipino boxers who has a championship belt under there waist. Aside from them Donnie Nietes is also good and well-known boxer in the super fly-weight division and he is in fact the longest reigning champion of the Philippines going undefeated for 15 years in a row now. Rising stars such as Jerwin Ancajas, Jhack Tepora, and John Riel Casimero all have bouts this year all of which ended up with a win. There are lesser-known Filipino boxers out there and is only overshadowed by others because of the lack of support by their country but once they get the right break I know they'll be in the level of Pacquiao and Donaire. Speaking of Donaire here he is really looking good winning with a KO and a TKO in his last two fights I figured that he got his groove back on when he lost to Carl Frampton.

Naoya_Inoue has 18 wins , 16 is of this is through KO, and if this goes to the scorecard, I think Donaire has a chance because this means Inoue can't beat Donaire easily unlike in his past that he can KO an opponent easily.

But of course, we want to see a good fight and KO coming from any of the two boxer but I like Donaire to KO Inoue so my bet will also win.
I'm not a fan of Inoue but I saw his highlights and he is really a beast but if I'm not mistaken, he hasn't fought in US with better opponents so this boxer might not be matured enough and Donaire might have a shot here since he is a veteran and has been a champion.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naoya_Inoue

Sadly, the reality is that a lot of Filipinos are not really fans of Filipino boxing in its truest sense. The government most of all. They heap praises and share in the pride only when the sacrifices have paid off, sacrifices that the government has not even cared. The Philippine government fails in a lot of ways as regards support for sports.


I don't think the last couple of fights of Donaire are something to be really proud of and celebrate. There is nothing amazing in there to be honest. The Burnett fight was not won fair and square. It was simply won due to an injury that Nonito does not even have anything to do. The one with Young was not an incredible win either. A 3-day notice fight is never a fair one.

Can you share up some video in his fights that he was hit solidly on chin? I failed to search it up yet he do only takes light punches and mostly on body shots.

Inoue do have some good footwork which in result into a very agile boxer.

He actually comes out aggressive on his every fights. That is his fight style and which makes it quite entertaining. I think he still has that determination dude it's just that you also have to consider his not getting younger not he is not Pacman at all. There is a good reason why he is currently in the finals, A lucky won from Burnett because of his injury. In fact he did KO Young during the 6th round which only means that he can still be very dangerous even after round 5.

However his opponent is just a pure monster. A perfect record and a Round 1 KO from quarter finals plus a round 2 KO for semi finals against one of the toughest fighter in this division(Rodriguez)  is just so much incredible that might be too much for Donaire.


The only thing that Donaire might possibly win this fight is to use his "Ring Savvy" skill. He has more experienced and against that monster you should not stand in front of him and never ever dare to encounter a slug feast.

We have been talking about this eminent fight between the two but there seem to have no final date.  Its been five more than 4 months since I joined this discussion and the dates were still unclear. We over rate that monster already but truth is that he hasn't fought someone that is significant enough like Donaire.

I have watch Inoue's fight and the guy is promising, I am worried since the fight will be held in Japan, a prejudice may happen just like other fighters who visits Japan to fight.  I just hope that judges will be fair this time and score the fights according to the actual points scored by each fighter.
I am also a Donaire fan but as I said I am worried if he look for a 1 punch knock out and disregard combinations and pacings.

When did I say that only Manny and Nonito have championship belts?

This is what I'm talking about. We don't see other Pinoy fighters take center stage just like what Manny and Nonito does. We don't often see them being talked about.

That's what being in the center stage mean, Because most often than not champions are the only ones being in the main card, you rarely even see a non-title fight as a main card.


As far as I can tell even Nonito Donaire isn't even being talk about in the boxing community, it's that hard to be really known in this sport because they often see the highly promoted ones coming from America or the ones who always take the news like Lomachenko, Tyson Fury, and Anthony Joshua. The main difference is even if we have skilled fighters on out country they lack the support from promotions and sponsors needed to get their names to be talked about and be in the center stage frequently. They need to fight hard to get it just like what Pacquiao did when he won upsets against several fighters in the ring. For these boxers to have the break they only need what Manny did and that is to win an upset against this fighters and be consistent on winning bouts and I can say they are one or three winning fights away to attract a high profile boxer in their division.

Not sure if you guys have seen the cover of the latest THE RING Magazine
https://i.imgur.com/7kuVLIa.jpg

^^ Never seen this, thanks for posting. Ring Magazine, being touted as the "bible" of boxing fans and fighter alike, and seeing how they portray Inoue here, indications that they are in the bandwagon for this kid. And this is a good promotion for Inoue so until Donaire derail all the plans for him, I think he will be the next potential cash cow. And if ever he won decisively against Donaire, then we can all validate that he is line for the p4p title.

Hes already in line and going up to ranks fast https://tv5.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/26799294/pound-pound-rankings-naoya-inoue-coming-top-spot-fast

What an amazing stats he do have and imagine with that young age he do able to have these rankings.This kid does really possess something and no doubt
this would be an another cashcow by those greedy promoter and about on the image above,i do remember the anime Hajime Ippo on that image and now they do
apply it on real life.

I'm surprise he was rank number 4, and in case he will be able to beat Donaire in the upcoming fight, that would be a big success for him.
He is still young and will definitely have more fight if he remains unbeaten and I hope he will be able to have more fight in the US, especially in Vegas so his popularity will rapidly grow.

Will he can be the next Manny Pacquiao? What do you think about Inoue ?
I think he has a good start in Boxing compared to Pacquiao, and he can improve more and being a heavy hitter is already an advantage to him.

Manny Pacquiao started to be popular when he starts fighting in the US, in fact his first fight, he was just a replacement IIRC but he upset the champion by TKO so he got noticed by the fans.

Early to say but i think he would not achieve what Manny has achieve throughout his boxing career. The only comparison that we could attribute to the two fighters is that both are knock-out artist. Many up and coming boxers were compared to Manny before but none made it.

Definitely and his fights to really give out more popularity as he progresses and beating up more boxers with KO's.
Manny is impressed with this young person and for sure he do see the future of this one would be bright https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeR6o4bVaxs

He maybe a very young achiever in boxing  and has bright future ahead of him but let’s not forget that skills and experience is what boxers need to reign
And in this Nonito Donaire is indvantage,this title holder is known for being calm and not possessive boxer and Inoue’s aggression will bring him to defeat.if he wants to stay longer in ring better guard his body and protect his face as Donaire is like Pacquiao though he has no power punch like what Manny has.

LOL, why did Manny teach this man how to punch, man, he will use this against Donaire, he should be teaching his fellow Filipino Boxer.
Anyway, I hope Inoue will not be able to use that deadly combination to beat Donaire, I love the filipino boxer but Inoue is just a sensational boxer and it's his time now.

Donaire is a quality boxer but he lacks on his stamina to sustain for the later rounds. If he can KO Inoue on the first six rounds in the match, then that would be good for him but if it will drag until 12 rounds he will be in big trouble.

He could really be the next Manny, I mean the guy has the tools, he probably need someone from the US to really exposed him to boxing fans.


This is what I'm trying to say, boxers from Asia should go to US to really show their craft and get recognized. And he needs just one break out fight to get his foot to the US fans, just like Manny did.

Most of his fights are from Japan, he only fought one time last "9 Sep 2017" in StubHub Center, Carson, California, U.S based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naoya_Inoue.

By looking at his previous opponents, I think he has a lot to prove and I think Donaire has a shot of beating him, but let's see what comes up in 7 Nov 2019 which is the schedule of the fight, again in Japan.

We don't know why Manny is impressed with Inoue and giving out some tips basing on the video rather than with his fellow Filipino boxer.
I don't link on what are the words spit out on Donaires mouth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7QXpyjcjU0

Lets see if he's really a monster slayer.

You could really rank fast if he is going to fight stateside. He is really that good that he needs to go somewhere else besides fighting in Japan. And this whole WBSS Bantamweight competition was very good for him as far as exposure. But after this he should be really fighting in US soil and could probably get a contract from big names out there to maximise his profitability, just like what Manny did when he broke the boxing scene in the US, making him the second richest boxer behind Floyd.

Yeah, I agree with that, he only fight one time in the US and therefore we can't conclude if he can really beat tough opponents in the sport.
This coming fight with Donaire would be a great test for him, and if he can beat the veteran who also is doing well in his last fights, then maybe he can convince me. I only see in this thread that he got hype but in the boxing world I don't usually hear his name from the experts.

I think you haven't really probably seen this Kid fought on the ring yet and to why this kid is actually being called as a monster. This kid does really possess something almost everything that a monster fighter could have.


Donaire in the other hand has the full experience advantage. He has fought probably the best fighters in this division. He is also much wiser by now

for both of them yes. This can be a good exposure to a new booming fighter and to an old trying to comeback fighter. Fighting in US should really the thing that the management of the Japanese guy should consider after this fight most especially if he wins.

Donaire has definitely a shot here. We all know that during Donaire's prime nobody can't touch him in the bantamweight division. Also he no longer the same Donaire we once knew, but with his experience he can definitely upset Inoue here.

Donaire knows how to read his opponent in the first few round and then adjust. So this will be like a chess game. If Inoue fought not moving his head, Donaire will take that opportunity and expose him with his left hook.

The old Donaire has long been gone. While I hope that he comes back, at least with his bout against Inoue, the reality is that it may be unlikely. The former, once touted as The Filipino Flash, has become slower with age. And considering that he is basically a counter puncher, speed is very necessary. Outside counter punching, Donaire is like a one two puncher, constantly looking for a knockdown.   

That happens when a boxer is aging, but Manny is different he was older than Donaire but was able to beat an undefeated fighter.
With the recent win of Manny, I hope that will inspire donaire that fighting a younger opponent is not a problem if you have the confident to beat him.

What I like here is just the odds really, I'll definitely not hesitate to bet on Donaire although he seems like no chance of winning based on experts opinion.

It’s too early to tell if he would be like Manny Pacquiao for some reason,specially in fighting style and of course the place and the training they have been brought to time
It is not the popularity that make the boxer becoming famous but it was from their ability and capacity,and yes you are right if they will be compared in same years starting career Mannys popularity is lessen you know why.becaue manny came from the Philippines in which poorer than Japan and the local media cannot make noise like what japans media can.and also that one when Pacquiao was started social media wasn’t that famous and used compared as what we have today,today in just one Post from Facebook million people may watch or comment but not 20 years ago

Lol, when you are popular you are also famous as they are synonymous. Manny became famous/popular in the US because of his fighting style. He is of a brawler and all of his fights in the US were action packed and Americans greatly appreciated it. With regards to Inoue, even with social media, still he is not that popular worldwide though he is popular in Japan. With this fight with Donaire, his presence is starting to be noticed in the boxing community and it would be boasted if he beat Donaire.

We know Inoue is a good fighter too, but we can't compare him to Manny yet in terms of accomplishment.
I believe what made Manny more popular is because he is a beast inside the ring but he had a good attitude outside,  he also proven that a boxer can have a lot accomplishment outside boxing because he became a congressman and now a senator.

We will see if how fans will accept Inoue when he fight in the US, there's a lot of things he needs to prove and he need to be nice like Manny if he wants to be popular not only in the US but all over the world.

Mayweather is good, actually better than Manny and he fights in the US but who has the biggest no. of fans when Manny and Mayweather fight, of course obviously Manny as we bear boos for Mayweathers while cheers for Manny.

TBH, I've never seen a fight where Manny has less fans compared to his opponents in the venue, Manny could be a good boxing ambassador as lots of people admire him the way he handle himself and even proven to win a championship at his age now.

He is a good example and an inspiration to boxers who aim to become a legend.

Inoue is a Japanese, I don't know his life story but Filipinos and Japanese have different culture, Filipinos are known polite and humble, and that's what Manny is showing to the world.

We don't know Inoue's background but as far as his countrymen support him, maybe he is the Manny Pacquiao in Japan. If he can win against Donaire then many Japanese will be inspired by him.

That's a skills donaire have he study how get the rhythm before he will going to take the charge, allow his opponents to keep showing good while he's finding ways to get the advantage that he's aiming, though age might change his speed but the power punch will be there to protect him and give him the spark defeating Inoue.

Donaire has a problem in facing an aggressive fighter and a bigger fighter than him, his big loss was against Nicholas Walters, that guy was really aggressive and strong, and he is taller than Donaire .

I made some research to see the comparison,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonito_Donaire
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Walters

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naoya_Inoue

Inoue is strong but I like the chances of Donaire since Inoue only stands 5 ft 5 in which is shorter that Donaire and based on the fight history of Donaire, he has dominated a smaller fighter like Darchinyan which is also 5 ft 5 in.

You can search for him! He is a BEAST Im telling you. I can't compare him to Manny Pacquiao since he has his own level of boxing that we might be seeing a future boxer superstar in the making. I am waiting for this fight and I want to see how will Donaire fight in this match since if you will be watching the past matches of Inoue, you will see how explosive his punches are.

We may never know, maybe he got the second wind and show great strength against Inoue and bring back the time. And your are right that he is a counter puncher, but I don't agree that speed is necessary if you love to counter.

What you need is timing and perfect execution to hit that one counter that will chance the game. So that's why he needed a perfect game plan here, used his experience in order to upset Inoue, just saying.

lol have just use the wrong term but you know what I mean,popularity don’t mea you are really a great boxer at all because media can make anyone popular but the truth is they don’t have that skills at all and that’s reality
It isn’t easy to make someone. Champion by name but not in the ring

I did not mention US specifically lol 😂,what I I’m saying here is that Pacquiao made he’s debut everyone in the Philippines and prove he’s capacity as a legend when he wasn’t thy popular at all,the US fights are just additive to he’s career as professional boxer.

Both Fighter is good,  so fast and so strong and for sure there will be a knockdown that will finish the game . Inoue is a monster fighter but nonito has a ability to knockout his opponent in one puch even in the dangerous situation. You can see it in his all fights against all the champ he fought. But in only one mistake as well for noninto.  Wherein if he can catch inoue punches because of being so fast .  He will strugglle in the corner and there's  a possibility he get  knockout as well because inoue is heavy handed boxer like thurman.

It's more on Inoue who is a knock out artist here, that's why fight fans love his fight because he destroys everyone. While Donaire during his prime is a calculated fighter and looking for that opening, one move back and then his left hook. And that what makes this fight very exciting because of the styles. Inoue can have the advantage, but one punch can change the game.

@Ziskinberg - I think Donaire move in weight when he fought Walters there. You can see it was a total mismatch but Donaire fought his hearts out but it was not even. But then Loma TKO Walters in their fight in 6th round. Maybe you can also check it out.  ;D

I agree with it, I think that is the main reason, he was able to hit Walter with a good counter punch, that was suppose to be a knockdown if was in the weight that he was strong enough. Walters is not as fast as Donaire but because he was not able to bring his power when he moves up, that creates a big problem, he thought he could be like Manny the Pound for pound king, but that was a failed mission.

Correct, Donaire's wasn't able to bring his power when he move up in weight. Everyone regarded him as the next Manny Pacquiao from the Philippines, but it wasn't true when when the first time he move up, the power is no longer there because the opponent is much bigger and can take his punch. At least he decided to stay in lower weights and show us that he can still win.

That's what he should do, be contented on what he achieved as he is not an extraordinary boxer like Manny Pacquiao.

Odds Update as of August 26, 2019.
https://i.imgflip.com/38w53f.jpg

The difference are still far behind since the fight is in 3 months more. We can also add up why the odds is still high favor on Inoue because of home court advantage which the fight will happen to Japan. Do you guys know some betting websites that has already starting to accept bets on this match? (gambling sites that only accept bitcoin)

I think his pretty much contented to what he has achieved specially as a Filipino. Manny is just a freak, which we may never seen in the next 50 years. Donaire is good but not elite like Manny is. If he can upset Inoue her it will be a good year and could be one of the best comebacks in recent years.

That's a challenge for him, probably the biggest fight of Donaire and if he can upset Inoue, this hype fighter would eventually slowly loss his confidence and the fans might be disappointed because they underestimated Donaire here based on his betting odds that we see.

This fight is getting closer and closer. Follow the latest news and interviews at https://box.live/fights/inoue-vs-donaire/#news

Inoue still remains the heavy favorite. Other than age, these two are very much identical especially the height and reach

Odds from Nitrogen Sports
https://i.ibb.co/mRMsmQh/Untitled.png (https://ibb.co/PrfpRB1)

With less than a month before Nonito Donaire fight the "monster" Inoue, the latter remains the heavy favorite and the money is pouring on his favor.

 Inoue = 1.04,  Donaire = 8.20

^^ is the odds on Sportsbet. This look very temping to Filipino fight fans out there as they knew the "Filipino Flash" capability. He maybe old but it only take a punch to turn around a fight.

Well, that's right, filipino fans will always bet on Donaire no matter what the odds is, in this one where fans will get 7 times of their money, they will surely take this odds. However, the filipino betters although they are big in volume but they don't bet that much, that's why the line barely move.

There's no alternative odds so far, hopefully there will more odds to choose from like Donaire winning via knockout, round 1, 2, and etc...
We know Donaire have some struggle in his carrier but he can use that experience in this fight, and it could be just our own belief as the bookmakers really think it's an easy win for Inoue.. me, I would just bet for fun, I won't bother researching and analyzing this game as I'm rooting for the heavy dog.

This is probably the biggest test for Donaire if he still has it, he is up against a very strong and hungry fighter, of course, we cannot compare him to Many Pacquiao they are two different fighters, I'm rooting for Donaire, he has the experience and I believe his left hook still packs a power, but if he loses it's time for him to hang his globes.

Too early to say to hang up his gloves yet his still 37 years old which is quite younger compared to Manny but im sure he wont retire boxing if he lose this upcoming match.
Donaire do have 40W-5L-0D stats while Inoue do had 18W-0L with 16 KO's overall. Donaire might have low KO percentage but in terms of experience and body build.
I do have the strong factors why would i consider Donaire for this one but i shall say that this would be a hell of a tough fight against on a younger and solid puncher opponent.

Yeah, probably his biggest test because his career is on the line here. And what better stage it will be to showcase it if he still has it against the monster Inoue. Definitely his biggest advantage here is his experience, just like what Pacquiao shows against Thurman. I think at the end of the day, if Donaire losses this one, I don't think he will simply hang up his gloves. He still looks fresh at his age, meaning his body didn't take a lot of beatings as compare to Manny Pacquiao. Of course,  I'm going to root for Donaire and hope he can pull some left hooks and get a knock out. That is his signature move, check left hook, so let's see!!!.

I've got a different view on this one bro, this is just another fight for Donaire where he should earn bucks for his family. The biggest test of Donaire's career is the first fight between him and Darchinyan. After he beat that dude, he instantly became a superstar in boxing to Filipinos and some foreigners as well.

I believe that Donaire still has some tricks left in him to defeat the Japanese Monster and this fight is not an easy one for him though. Win or lose, i'll put my money on this guy, Donaire.

I agree that against Vic Darchinyan is the biggest test, remember he was a no name fighter back then and it was even touted as a revenge since Vic defeated the older brother of Nonito prior if I'm not mistaken.

So for me there's no pressure for Donaire here, just a regular fight and it will be good for him. Instead of thinking of it as one big test, without any pressure I think he can still win against Inoue although the odds are against him.

I feel the same, I have a feeling that it will be an upset and we bettors who favors Donaire will be having a good day if we start betting now.
Donaire is not a kind of boxer who will just dance in the floor, this man will also look for a knock out shot so he can prove that he is still here, and he knows that when he will beat this undefeated boxer, his career will also improve and he might have another big fight again that would give him a good pay check.

I'm also going to favour Donaire, and the odds as posted by @bisdak40 is really very attractive for us.

Yes, he doesn't dance in the floor, if given the chance to give his fans a knockout specially in the early rounds he will definitely go for it, just like what he did in this tournament. And since this is the finals, I'm sure he will gave everything he can to win and give his fans something to cheer about just like when he beat Vic Darchinyan.

That fight happened last 2007, that's a long time ago, and it's already 12 years now, so there's a big changes already.
Donaire is not getting any younger, he might have a great record but I understand why the odds are not in his favor, this is a big fight for him, he might get knock down here as well if he is not careful since his opponent is a knock out artist, however, the odds are really great,, I am not attracted only because of the odds.

The odds movement seem to favor Donaire although he is still a heavy underdog on this fight.
Current odds for this fight is 1.07 Inoue and 6.80 for Donaire.

Anyone have some latest news about this fight?
share you thoughts also on why Donaire has a chance to upset Inoue as an undefeated fighter and a crowd favorite.

The chance is too little as mentioned above us, Donaire is no longer in his young generation unlike Pacquiao which still active from this sport, Donaire was been unnoticed before this fight. Though it's really a great timing to have him back and face a very well known fighter, it will be a test if he can stand up till the last ring or make an upset and knock down Inoue. Best of luck to those gamblers that will bet for him both for entertainment and serious gambling.

For Donaire fans will surely stick out to bet on him since the odds are way too attractive.Yes, upset can possibly happen come to think about their boxing records
40 fights for Donaire and 18 fights for Inoue but the knock out rate is way too far so you can basically see on whose the hard puncher among the two.It isnt
surprising for the youngster would be the favorite on this upcoming fight but lets see if experience would always have the edge.

Just over one week away.

I hope Donaire is in the best shape of his life. Anything less than that, then he'll be put to sleep.

Survive the early rounds and put Inoue to school later using his vast boxing experience..

You can also add the fact that he is fighting in his home country.

Maybe that's what really makes him the favorite of this fight, Donaire might be the underdog but not this much, so I think its an opportunity for us who believe on Donaire to get this very appealing odds, I would prefer to see a knockdown because when it goes to scorecard, we don't have the edge since its played in his home country which is in Japan.

Thid fight is exciting. Since Nonito Donaire is much older for almost 10years than Naoya Inoue. I am also looking forward on this fight since Naoya Inoue still undefeated.

Could this be first lost of Naoya Inoue just like what happened on Keith Thurman defead by Manny Pacquiao?

And you think @everyone, the training venue could effect the game? Since Nonito Donaire is training at Manila, Philippines while Naoya Inoue is located at Japan while the venue  of the fight is also located at Japan.

Here the latest news from Donaire's camp.


He is not young anymore so speed might be affected a bit but his father is putting a premium on this.

https://www.sunstar.com.ph/article/1829330/Cebu/Sports/Donaire-works-on-speed

Nice. At least at this stage of Donaire's career, they really have to adapt and change his training regimen and focus more on speed because during his prime his speed + timing of his left hook is very potent and deadly and usually he knocks out his opponent with those combinations.

This is the finals for this bantamweight tournament so expect the fight to be exciting as both of this fighters are champion.


Hard to tell, Inoue is a monster, but Nonito has the experience, if the fight goes to distance, Nonito has a better chance or if he caught Inoue with his patented left hook early, it could be over.


I guess Nonito chooses to train in the Philippines to get closer to his prime again. Pacquiao is doing that training regimen as well, Philippines and then goes to US for the last 4 weeks to cap off his training. So I don't think that Nonito will be affected negatively here, again he has been in this game for so long that he can adopt very quickly in every conditions.

It can still happen as in this competition he knocked an opponent.
By his name which is "The Flash", he needs to show this to an undefeated fighter whom they called as monster, hopefully this will be a very exciting fight.

At moment, I still don't know what channel it will be televised but if there's a PPV for this fight, I'm willing to pay.

I think this is The Flash last stand here, as everyone has said, Nonito is ageing, he doesn't have that speed that we all know he had before. He is not Pacquiao who continue to have a good career in boxing even at age 40 because he is a freak of nature.

Donaire, should train very hard specially his conditioning because this fight is going to be a chess game and I'm sure he will try to frustrate "The Monster" here because he hasn't been tested to last for more rounds. Donaire is the underdog, so that's enough to wake up the fire in his belly and proved that he can still pull the trigger.

If this is his last stand, I would not hesitate putting my money on him to win in this fight which I know he would bring a good fight to Inoue although he is the dog in the fight. I like Filipino fighters actually as sometimes they are underrated but actually they can fight and give an upset to the heavy favorites and Donaire did that to Ryan Burnett in this tournament.

odds of that fight. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2803905-ryan-burnett-vs-nonito-donaire-fight-odds-time-date-and-live-stream

we are getting close to the fight,have everyone of us is ready and have already chosen whom to bet?and about the budget to risk?

i will certainly support Nonito Donaire and surely he will defeat Inoue as all of the advantage is in this Great Filipino fighter
they should have done that when the first time Donaire was defeated and loss his title.but eventhough i will trust Nonito to end this game with proud fist of winning

I hope Donaire will give the best fight he can to Inoue. He is a huge underdog in this fight and if we consider his wins in his last two fights at least, there is nothing special in him anymore to make an upset, except perhaps if his strong left hook will be thrown and will land at the most perfect time at the most perfect spot.

Odds from Sportsbet in this fight is not generous at all to the Filipino fighter. If he was a bit underrated before, this time, he is a bit overrated, primarily due to his last two previous fights which were both unconvincing.

I’m afraid that Nonito Donaire wasn’t that one whom I supported years ago,when every fight is always been watched .but now?he seems to be more slower and not like the fighting Senator Manny Donaire’s speed is Lessen years after years I don’t know if he I saw not focusing in training after each games but why did Manny maintains his?

I am not sure but Inoue has advantage on this fight and I can see he’s triumphant against Nonito ,but since there’s no decision before the bout,yet I will not lose hope for him to hold the belt

We really can't predict whether Donaire still have that same instincts the KO punch where he once being known. He needs to be in good shape to survive the fight knowing Inoue is playing in front of his home crowd the chance is really slim for Donaire. It's now a matter of how fans will believe to this champ to bet with him even odd's heavy favorite is all for Inoue. Big risk but if fate brings luck to Donaire it's also a big rewards in return.

They are working on his speed but its normal that at his age he will slow down a bit.
However, he can use his experience against the younger fighter whom very aggressive, with his great power and good counter punching ability, this will really help him a lot if he will take it slow.

We wouldn't know if Nonito is just silently training up and keep on private or shall we say they aren't airing everything on media just like on what Manny does.

This is why people can say that he isn't really that serious in terms of his own training.We cant be sure yet on which is true but I highly doubt that Inoue will really give
a good fight and might able to win the match. One careless move and that brat will surely give some knockout punch.

It's good to bet on Donaire because of experience, I did watch the highlights of Inoue and he really a is a beast but he cannot underestimate Donaire here, he also needs to focus on his defense if don't want to be knock out with one big punch.

his highlights if anyone hasn't shared yet.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hhUihZMq3Q

I was moved to put my bet on Inoue since sports analysts of a certain newspaper in my town was crediting that Donaire will have a hard time dealing with the Japanese. I also thought the analyst was right because Donaire was not the same as he was before and Inoue was more hungry for the win than him.

For me, I would not do that, with the current odds of Inoue, its not wise to risk a decent amount of money.
Just try to analyze this, say for example, you are betting on Inoue and the odds to win is 1.07 only, which means if you put $1000, you will only get $70.

Its not worth it, I tell you man, I suggest to just enjoy the game and forget that bet.

What do you think about this statement of Naoya Inoue on the upcoming fight?
Seems like Naoya Inoue is afraid to get along together with Nonito Donaire on aggressive fight, since he is not aiming for a knockout victory.

I also read in some news that it seems like Naoya Inoue is have some tactics or strategy that he is telling about this so Nonito Donaire will use some strategy against him, since Naoya Inoue is very aggressive boxer and still young compare to Nonito Donaire.

We have to be careful with that statement as we might see a different strategy in the ring.
This man is an knock out artist, so I don't think he will change his strategy that is making him successful throughout his many fights.
When a boxer is humble when he is talking, he can be a beast inside the ring, that's what I noticed.  ;D

You have to remember that Nonito has a falling out with his father Nonito Sr. Rachel, her wife took over, then they switch camp to Garcia as a head trainer. But since they patch things up already. His father is now back to his corner together with Penalosa that's why they have been training in the Philippines ever since.

There's not much news about this fight it's a great match in the making, for me Donaire will have a hard time with Inoue there's a big difference with an up and coming boxer to veteran fighter, but Donaire is not in the league of Pacquiao and he is facing a very strong fighter who wants to be in the big league, I hope there will be a live telecast here in our country, this is a game worth watching.

Maybe the odds will change as the match goes near. Let's see when the fight is near and I will place bets. Anyways, $70 is obviously too low but at least you know that the boxer you are betting with has a higher chance to win the fight. Yeah, it's too risky to place bets right now that's why I will still wait for the odds to change.

Inoue just wanted to play it safe here, I mean we all know that he is a knock out artist so there's a big chance that he can KO Donaire. On the other hand, he has so much respect on Donaire as well that's why he is not talking smack against Nonito here.

So I wouldn't say that he is afraid, but if the opportunity is there then he will take it. But if not then probably he will shift to their plan b and change their strategy.

That's what I like on that kind of boxer which is humble and had really have some respect into its opponent not the same to those who do initially
make some trashtalks and underestimations.I don't even see for this fight to last up 12 rounds yet we would see some KO between 4 to 5th round.
This wont last too long.

Definitely the odds will change but it would be not that much on the Japanese side, maybe on the side of Donaire it will go down to 4.0 i think.

You rely on the analyst before betting bro? Have you not followed the career of Donaire? Man, i tell you he did the odds on his first fight of this WBSS and come November 7, he would do the same. Small bet, high returns but the probability is high if you are on Donaire's side lol.

Not thinking anymore that the odds will drop that low, this event is not fought in US where Donaire fight many times, this is in China japan so a lot of Japanese backers are putting their money to Inoue to win, but I think with handicap.

Actually I also like to see if there's an handicap in this game, in sportsbet, its' not available so betting on Inoue without handicap does not give good return.

---

edit : mistype it, was thinking of Japan actually that's why I mentioned, Japanese.

This fight will be held in Japan i think, not China. I think there will be handicap but they will put it only days before the fight.

Venue: Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan

Fighting in your opponents hometown is challenging. Imagine your opponent will have the whole crowd behind his back and every time he throws a jab, crowd will react negatively. Unfortunately, Donaire's chance to win is getting slimmer and slimmer. He may wan't to win this match badly but everything from odds, age, crowd, record is all against him. He only have experience and heart and nothing more. 

I hope judges won't be biased this time.  There are lots of recorded fights where japanese fighter won even though they are clearly way behind points.  I am not belittling Inoue since I know he is a capable fighter which can knock out an opponent, and Donaire is not exempted to these possibility, it's that, Japan boxing judge is known for unfair and biased  judgement whenever a Japanese fighter fights on its homeland.

Donaire's best chance to win here is to knock down Inoue if we feel that the judge credibility is bad.
I can really sense that this fight will end up a knock out as for sure opposite to what Inoue told in the news that he will be more careful and not too aggressive, I don't think we will see that, Inoue  is Inoue , monster is not calm, they love to knock you down right away.

He might mean it or not but even so we can definitely see on what are the things behind those words either he do just pretending to be
calm or just doing the opposite.Among on its fights you can really see the hunger for knockout as you can observed into its solid punches.
I havent seen Inoue to last up more rounds though so i might be interested if he would last up until the last round when we do talk about
stamina.

Probably since both fighter have a  power that can knock down their oppnent in just 1 punch.  This is actually an exciting match up though I have worry that Donaire might resort to a one punch knock out that will lead him to defeat.  I have seen these kind of strategy made by Donaire and the fight end bad for him resulting to a loss.

yes, against the stronger fighter like Walters, if he can't knock his opponent in a single punch, he will face trouble as the fight progresses.
This Inoue has a very high knock out power but he is not as big and as strong as Walters, so if he hit Inoue  with a big punch, we might see what we like to see.

Do Inoue's chin is brittle or not ?Checking out on his previous fights I don't see for him on being hit hard on the chin for him not to easily
go down.If he had one then its already a big problem for Nonito. So its much better to play safe and wait up for a good timing counterattack.

He wasn't hit because he is very dominant against his opponent, I don't know how strong his opponent is but we know that Donaire is a smart counter puncher and Inoue might pay for being aggressive if he makes one mistake that might make him hit the floor.

Donaire has more experience that him based on the number of fights, he cannot underestimate the achievement of Donaire are/were champions for a reason.

Definitely, the chance of Donaire winning the fight is slim but this situation will bring the best out of Donaire when everything is against him, that's where Filipino fighters are known for. I just crossed my fingers here, he already did it months ago and i hope he will surprise everyone come November 7.

Still my money is on him.

^ Inoue will come out the aggressive fighter here and Donaire will play the counter puncher. If he can survive or not sustain heavy damage from the early rounds and frustrate the young Japanese fighter, he has a better chance of landing those left and right hooks then win. Not an easy thing to do though.

It's not easy but we know Donaire is an intelligent fighter so with his size advantage I think he can use that to intimidate the aggressive fighter Inoue.
Maybe why the line favored a lot on Inoue is because people are only thinking of Inoue's aggressiveness to knock an opponent, they didn't count Donaire's biggest achievement in this career as a boxer.

Didn't know Nonito Donaire is still fighting. Old guy was a beast during his dog years. I think he will lost to Inoue. The young Japanese looked superb in his last outings. Mr. Donaire is just like fighting his younger version here. I just hope the old man won't get hurt bad.

Donaire is older but he ain't old man yet, at 36 years old he is still winning by beating younger opponents.

His last two fights were both convincing wins.
Stephon Young (KO), he put this one to sleep , and he also beat Ryan Burnett, which he RTD, but I believe it should have been TKO.

Exactly, I was about to say the Walters fight was so damn disappointing for Donaire and his fans. He was able to stay early but Walters is too big and too strong for him and Donaire chase him for that knock out. Eventually he is the one who keeps knock down by Walters.

So there is a chance that Donaire can win against Inoue because of his left hook because they are at a even height and reach so there's no advantage from either side.

Donaire has an advantage on height by 2 inches and 1 inch advantage on the reach.

Here's the tale of the tape - http://fightnights.com/match/8079
Also, its interesting that they are not fighting the same stance, Donaire is Orthodox while Inoue is an Southpaw.

Even with the height and reach advantage of Donaire, still Inoue is the huge favorite in sports books. Only if Donaire has the caliber he was at his prime then maybe he can turn the sports betting odds.

Expectations from gambler is more favorable from the young Japanese fighter, since he's hosting the crowd it's hard for Donaire to win the bookmakers stand. Though upset always present from any boxing arena, and knowing how Filipino fighters mentality, there's always a chance when you are fighting inside the ring, since  stepping inside is already a privilege to prove that you also deserve the win.

That's the usual scenario, when a fighter who has a good record is fighting in his country, he will usually be the favorites, but this one he is really the favorites because he is a rising superstar in boxing with no defeat yet. Let's see if he can easily dispose Donaire like what he did in his previous opponents and hopefully Donaire will be able to give a fight that is worth for our money.

I was wondering what channel this game will be televised?

The fight is getting near, so excited for this. Hope that Donaire's bad left hook will land flush to Inoue's chin  :).

Below is some info for those interested to watch the fight.

@bisdak40, this is not televised in our local channel in the Philippines?

What's up with this streaming site DAZN, is there a premium subscription or they will just live stream it for free?
I like to know what time this game will start in Philippine time too so I can prepare to watch for this one.

For those who haven't put their bet yet, line is still open.

https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/boxing/international/matchups/inoue-naoya-donaire-nonito-5d7665473f5c7d75cefb58d1

I'm a fan of Donaire but the sportsbooks favored Inoue in this fight. How can Donaire defy the odds that is not in favor with him? Anyways, let's see how the fight goes tomorrow on our local time it see highlights on social media on who will win this match up.

Inoue to win by KO is 1.27
Inoue  to win by decision is 7.40
Donaire to win by KO is 6.20

Donaire to win by decision is 22

* I like that odds, what if this fight will go to distance and will go to the score card, if Donaire will convince that Judge that he won the fight, I mean we could get a good winning with the odds 22.

What do you guys think about that odds?

As far as i know, there is no live coverage from Philippine TV stations bro. Will just wait for Youtube upload since i've got work on that day  :).



It is scheduled 5:00 a.m. ET, so it would be 6:00 p.m. in the Philippines if i'm correct on my conversion, it would be 7:00 p.m. in Japan also.

Honestly, i don't how DAZN works as it is not yet available in the Philippines.

I doubt this fight will go the distance. One of them will certainly hit the canvas unconscious. Inoue has all the edge in this fight. Nonito, although relishing and seems challenged enough by his underdog position in this match, has very slim chance to win. Inoue has very convincing early KO wins in this World Boxing Super Series leading to this Donaire match. As much as I want Nonito to win, it is highly unlikely. And so I will go for Inoue with 1.77 odds over 4.5. 

The first round is the test if Donaire can withstand the power-punching of Inoue, I just hope it will not end like the Duno Garcia, Donaire is a wiser guy here, he is a thinking fighter if he can take Inoue's punch, Donaire's experience will emerge here, he knows how to dominate a slugger like what he did with Darchinyan, he needs to be patience and calculated with his moves.

I don't think that there will be some explosion on the first round similar to Duno vs Garcia.

Donaire is more intelligent that done, he won't simply go toe to toe with Inoue because he knows that Inoue is powerful. Probably just a feel out rounds in the early stage and then a chess match in the middle rounds until either one of them make some mistakes and then boom, knock down or knock out.

That's why the odds is x22 because its unlikely that this fight will reach into 12 rounds, but who knows, maybe if Donaire will change strategy and Inoue  can't hit him, maybe we can see this last to 12 rounds but like I said, its unlikely since the odds is really high and bookmaker based that on probability.

Maybe a knockout of either fighter is a good bet here, but Donaire has the better betting odds.

The day has come and with these two fighters we will witness a great boxing again. On this match, i’ll go for Donaire because of his experience and not because I’m pinoy but I really see this fight belongs to him. The Inoue record is impressive, and maybe this will be his first loss and its a major fight for both fighters. Few more hours to go, and I’ve already place my bet on this game.

And if ever this fight goes the distance until the final bell rang, I see Inoue will have a better score in total, aside from, it's his country - no pun intended as Inoue do really have the advantage here.

That's why odds x22 for Donaire's decision is likely a trap and very risky to be considered. He needs to dominate Inoue in every round for that to achieved which unlikely will happen. Odds provider will not just set an odds like that.

Donaire should do everything to finish the match early although it's really a hard task.

Sometimes a trap could be a great bet because its also possible that it could hit.

There's no guarantee that this game will up in KO for whoever wins because this is the finals and both fighters are careful since they are aware of their strength, actually we know that both fighters are knockout artist, so its more like a chess match for me and I hope Donaire will come out as a winner in this fight.

Indeed, a knock out win for Donaire or a loss. That would be the scenario here as i don't think that Donaire will win on judges scorecard as he is not a volume puncher and the fight is in Japan in which many Filipino fighters have been a victim of biased decision.

Few more hours and will see if Donaire will be crown the WBSS Bantamweight king.

Just for an information about this fight.

ET time - https://24timezones.com/time-zone/et , so I think its around 6 pm tonight in Philippine time.

But not on that trap. It's a different story. There are traps that are worth to put a bet but I consider it's not worth it on that fight. I'd rather choose fair odds in favor of Donaire.

Your decision though if you want. And who knows you will hit it. A big profit.

If anyone has Android TV Box, it should appear on your TV station list.

Its been awhile since I last watched the fight of Donaire, im a fan of him since before that his not getting attention much to the people.

Now is the day of his fight and will surely not missed this event, its our pride so hoping for him the best of luck.

Started looking where I can watch it live.

What a confidence from you, Donaire is outside the ring for some time and we don't know yet if he still have those killer instinct. While young Inoue
is very active and he will fight inside his home town. The advantages is with him though it will be decided after the final bell. If you will bet for Donaire
the odd is nice and if you win you will bag huge profits.

Well Donaire has been in the boxing business for so long and had seen the best already. So obviously he is not afraid of Inoue and hope he won't disappoint his Filipino fans. He could very well be his ticket to HOF if he beats Inoue convincingly with a Darchinyan performance.

I'm pump for this fight, put a nice bet with Donaire winning here.

What do you mean Donaire is outside the ring for some time? He is currently competing in a Bantamweight series and that match against Inoue is now at the final stage. He has a total of 3 fights at this series competition and he won all of that. His last match was in April this year. He does have a fight every year.

Maybe you just have said that because you didn't see him in the news.

I have this channel, I checked it in my UK channels line up and was able to see it, actually I have an IPTV subscription and I just hope it won't lag.

After watching a video presentation of Motevidia in Facebook about the fight between Inoue and Donaire, it somehow convinced me that Donaire have a chance to beat Inoue. I am not using the term upset because using that word for Donaire is disrespectful. Donaire is one tough fighter, he may be old enough for Inoue but his (Donaire) punching power is one of the feared in his weight class. Just look at how Donaire was able to stop Stephon Young in their last fight.

My only hope to watch it is when someone post the live telecast on Facebook, my Sky modem was destroyed last week I'm missing a lot of sporting events, but since this is only in Japan i have some friends in Japan who are willing to feed this on social media I still have a chance to watch this great fight, let's see if Donaire can stop Inoue's train to ptoceed.

Can you share the video you watched? I'm a fan of Donaire and I like videos that is detailing the possibility that Donaire can win.
According to the video I saw, its youth vs experience.

Just for fun, I bet on Donaire to win this game by decision.

https://imgbbb.com/images/2019/11/07/forfun.png

I know this looks like a waste of money as we are expecting this fight will end a knock out, but lets give it a chance, the odds is very tempting.

Good luck on that bet @Japinat , may the force be with you, ;D ;D
Donaire has to win this fight, otherwise his career might be over, in this fight, they also put their belt at stake, so this is really important to both fighters.

1 hour and 20 minutes to go, are you excited guys?

That looks like betting against the majority, I love to see Donaire flashing out his old form when he fought the likes of Darchinya, I checked on his two loses and he has problem with big guys, and since Inoue is not bigger than him he has a chance, I have not seen yet how good Inoue in taking a punishment, he is good at giving it, so if Donaire can take his punch, Donaire can have this fight. 

There are a lot of live streams on Facebook just use the keywords Inoue Donaire fight live, it's easy to be taken down on Youtube than on Facebook, because they broadcast it on their page, right now the main fight is not yet started, only the supporting bout. there are at least 3 you can choose from but more to come when the main fight goes live

Thanks, i'm watching on Facebook live streaming now.

I was about to say that Inoue's brother has some chin. Oubaali was hitting him straight in the 3rd round but he just keeps coming back.

Until it was broken in round 4th, Lol, Oubaali hit him flush knocking him down. But the fight is still on-going, he has the move but not the pop as his brother. And with that said, I don't think that he can a belt, the champion is too tough and rugged for him.

Edit: I have Oubaali winning, there's no way he could lose this fight. Unless it's a home cook decision.

if the Japanese can survive and no KO, he might be save by the judges here lol.

Thanks for this link. It feels like I'm watching Anime.  ;D


Best of luck, Japinat! I am on the other side of the fence in this fight. But your chosen odds is as tempting as it is close to impossible. Well, at least as my own humble prediction of the fight is concerned. We will see in a bit.

Edit:

The brother of Naoya Inoue has lost the fight against Nordine Oubaali through a unanimous decision.

Nordine Oubaali manages to escape on the barrage of punches although it is really late, his opponent knows that he lost the fight, the judging scoring are not really close to each other, but I agree that Nordine Oubaali is the winner here, he is very patient and throws a lot of counter that hit the face of his opponent, this is the first time i saw Nordine Oubaali and I'm really impressed on his ability.

There is nothing yet on youtube but there are move live links in facebook to watch live. Inoue's brother just lose a fight right now.

My money is on Donaire. I could be over confident there is no way that short man can knock the experienced Donaire, he had fought bigger fighters before and almost knockout Nicholas Walters. If you have to look at the records of Inoue, I don't see big guys on his list.

You can check the live youtube fight here compare to Facebook it's much clearer here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zna-OCmKXEE
but there are also a lot on Facebook so much interested generated on this fight

Very difficult fight for Nonito here, he hit Inoue in the second round flush with his left, but Inoue just take it.

Donaire's face is taking a beating already, he needs a KO to be able to win this fight. Obviously, he is behind the scorecards that's why I said that KO is needed, he is beaten to the punch. Let's see how it goes, hope he can still find that one left hook to finished the fight.

EDIT: f**k what a fight, Donaire took a knee in the 11th round, but he hit Inoue with his left hook that put a stop on him, I thought Inoue is going down, but he has a granite chin I guess.

Nonito is getting the last rounds of the fight. Inoues nose is already on blood. Watching currently on round 10 and this is really a good fight.
If nonito wont get any knockouts here for sure he would lost in points. He would need a knock out on here. Inoue is already running away on 9th round
hes been hurt with some solid punches.If theres only a follow up then he might be knocked down but sadly Nonito is already exhausted.

He needs to have some finishing combinations. His punches hit hard but he lacks the necessary follow-ups. Inoue is taking some painful punches already but Nonito does not have the volume of punches to punish Inoue more and finish the fight.

Edit:

I was wrong with my prediction. I didn't think the fight would go the distance with both fighters equipped with powerful punching powers. This is certainly an Inoue's fight.

Donaire lose the fight, past his prime but did last the 12 rounds. I thought the cut om Inoue's eyebrow is just the start lol not the kind of fight I expect though, I hoping for a knockout either Doniare or Inoue, I gotta reimburse my money. I allocated just about 15 minutes to watch the TV but lasted more than an hour. Congrat Inoue.

Congrats Naoya Inoue on winning the fight! I lost my bet but its fine yet i really enjoyed the fight and that was a good one.

Result: unanimous decision for Inoue.

Anybody here who bet on Inoue  to win by decision? you will certainly enjoy tonight with that great odds you got.

Anyway that was a great fight, Donaire land some solid punch but Inoue really shows that he is a monster, this is in overall a great fight as though Donaire is obviously losing but he didn't quit easily, at one time I thought he will be knock out but he keep fighting and bring the fight into decision.

I think there's one judge who scored 114-113, I don't know how he saw the fight but it was actually a well dominated fight by Inoue in the 2nd half of the fight. His older brother loss in the undercard of the fight but its still a good night for the Japanese fans as their monster won the fight, I also like the gesture of Inoue after the fight, he showed respect to his opponent and I'm pretty sure Donaire appreciates that.

Not me, I have a bet on Donaire.

Yes, it was really an exciting fight, me and my homies thought that Donaire had it the bag specially in the 9th round if I'm not mistaken. But Inoue proved to be very difficult puzzle to solved. He took the championships rounds including round 10th.

I though that Donaire is not getting up after taking a knee. And I must admit that he didn't beat the count. Anyway, congrats to both fighters, Donaire gave everything here, nothing to be ashamed of, but Inoue is the better man in this fight.

Yeah thats also the thing i'd notice too when the announcer do tell about the score cards 114-113 is really a close one and that judge might consider those points made by Doinaire
in last few rounds where he do make up some good shots to that japanese monster.I appreciated the endurance of that Filipino Boxer and this proves out that he already passed his prime and maybe its time to retire yet his quite old.

Is the fight over? If it isn't, any working links for the fight? I'll support my fellow Filipino in this fight and I love Donaire's games in the past.

The fight is over, our fellow filipino lose in the fight via unanimous decision, it was Inoue who was declared as champion in the competition.
here's the story of the fight, I find this in the internet, maybe you like to read it.

https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/live/naoya-inoue-vs-nonito-donaire-live-stream-uk-time-watch-boxing-online-wbss-today-a9188866.html

Donaire loses the fight kabayan, though he fought till the last round but unluckily he can't resist the Japanese punch and fell down and rest awhile.

I was thinking that he will be able to manage knocking down this young Japanese Champ but every punch he throws was being absorbed and treated
nothing.

I haven't watched the fight but one of my relative living on Japan posted it on social media that Donaire lost. He said that it was like Donaire is allowing Inoue to punch him but that's being Inoue having no loss and a champ.

Naoya Inoue beats Nonito Donaire in back and forth FOTY contender (https://www.bloodyelbow.com/2019/11/7/20953135/video-naoya-inoue-beats-nonito-donaire-in-back-and-forth-foty-contender-boxing-wbss)

Respect for Donaire I guess age caught up with him there was a time that he almost knock Inoue but he cannot keep up but he is still strong but against a young fighter like Inoue he will have a hard time, Inoue admitted Inoue will have a lot of tough fight ahead and he really needs this kind of fight

as what i expected,Inoue really deserves the win,and being fit for the fight?Nonito has no enough power to bring him down as that was the only chance for Him to win the fight.

the domination of Inoue is undeniable ,even how hard Donaire tried to beat him yet not enough so for the both fighters?you did the excellent Job and show good bout for the fans.

i may lose my bet but i'm proud that i supported Nonito for this one.

I don't think he was allowing to box him, it could look that way since he isn't blocking but I think its him not panicking. Inoue is fast, can counter punch and a very hard puncher and I guess I can believe those who predicted he will win the fight from now on. Donaire must be dealing with broken ribs to have felt it  like he wanted to quit the fight when I saw him running.  There is yet no report about his injury but I'd be interested to know how he is right now.

As I've said, I haven't watched the fight yet but this is from someone, my relative to be specific that's residing on Japan. But we're all together feeling bad for Donaire with his loss but that's it.

Both are good but it's just Inoue won the fight. There might be a rematch in the future.

Does he had a broken ribs into that body blow given? I guess its just a liver blow which the main reason why
Donaire ran off and kneel down. Even experienced ones wont able to endure that kind of pain.
Seeing it live do really give out some chills on my spines and as everybody said this one is a good fight.I didn't make any bet though.

This was a sad and tough match for the FILIPINO to lose even if it was expended to happen this way.
The long shot odds were this way for the reason alone knowing that the MONSTER was much much better then the aging former Champion.

A vicious left hook to the ribs in the 11th round as said in this article https://ph.news.yahoo.com/inoue-beats-donaire-world-boxing-141800408.html
I kept replaying the video and the punch definitely hit the rib cage, Donaire tried to block the left hook but it went thru, it slip thru when it hit his elbow to his rib cage.  I can see the ribs almost popout actually, he immediately back away as he felt the need to kneel.  But if you look at how Inoue deliver it, it doesn't really look as if he put a weight to that hook.

Donaire almost won the fight and he really show the heart of a Champion it just happen that Inoue really prepared for this match and we need to applause on this two fighter. The age really affects the movement of Donaire but its ok, we are still proud because he show to us a good fight. Hopefully this is not the end of his career more fight to come with Nonito.

I'm really sad on the lost of Nonito Donaire, most of the fighters from the Philippines are lost, not only on boxing,  also on the recent One Championship that also happened in Japan last few weeks.
Seems like Japan is cursed for Filipino fighters, lol.
That's why last month, the odds are really favor on Inoue, damn!

Not bad at all. While other boxing analyst are predicting a possible knockout victory by Inoue, Nonito Donaire was able to withstand all the blows coming from "the monster "Inoue. Nonito has proven to the world that he can still go toe to toe with younger boxers. Nonito still has a lot of fights left in him even at his age of 36 (turning 37 in November 16). Here is the score 116-111, 117-109, and 114-113.

Yeah, not bad at all. All odds were against Donaire but he showed last fight night the heart of a champion. Kudos to Inoue to withstand that left hook and right straight from Donaire in the tenth round.

That fight is an acid test for the young career of the Monster Inoue and he passed it with flying colors and looking forward for his future fights.

I agree, Donaire deserves respect here, I mean the odds are against him, but he truly shows some class, just imagine standing up from that vicious liver punch, and continue to fight, never seen Donaire like that.

In was a signature win for Inoue, but he said he still needs to improved, he was almost knock down as well. I guess we Filipinos should moved now, Duno and Donaire, back-to-back lost.  :(

Inoue did not look tired, this guy is well conditioned going to this fight and they didn't really underestimate Donaire that's why he got a very convincing win. Donaire just got tired in the later rounds because he can't knock down Inoue, he had some solid punch thrown to inoue but the endurance of Inoue is showed in this fight, hopefully he can start fighting in the US so we will see an Asian who will dominate.

This is a great and exciting fight I thought Donaire had Inoue in one of those rounds Inoue's face was messed up, against a fighter like Donaire he had a hard time, he needs to fight outside of Japan and fight in Las Vegas against an opponent in Donaire's caliber I am not impressed, there's just hype because he fought lesser-known fighters in the past

Still one of the great fights between a veteran against a young boxer on its peak.

Both showed great power. As I said before, Donaire should do everything to finish the fight at the early rounds since going to Round 12 is risky for him. But that was a hard thing to do providing Inoue has it all.

Donaire gives Inoue the first cut of his career. This just shows that Nonito's punch is still as deadly as before.

Win or Loss, Donaire will surely come back at the ring, as always. But he should remain at Bantamweight because of his age.

Thank you for bringing that up, I mean it's Inoue country and I guess it has a 'positive' effect on him. Donaire almost blew him off in the 9th and we has lucky that Donaire was also running out of steam that time. Just look at how he hug Donaire in that round, Lol.

I'm not taking anything from his win, but let's see if he fight in a unruly crowd or outside of his comfort zone that will be a big test for Inoue.

It's already been done i think Donaire didn't expect that body blow coming because he's so used to cover up his face. Not knowing that Inoue's speciality was the body blow. He may not have the power to knock down his opponent with his hands but he knows how to make them touch the canvas.

I really think Donaire would've win to that fight since he hit some solid punches to Inoue yet the combination of punches from head to body of Inoue makes Donaire lost during that round and it was a devastating agony if you watch Donaire's face eating those solid punches from Inoue.

Take note that Inoue is going home with a cut on his right eye brow and Donaire was able to bloodied his nose considering that Inoue is 11 years younger than Donaire. I agree with the post earlier that the score could have been very close like 114-113, still in favor of Inoue but if its 116-111 and 117-109, I see a lot of rounds that Donaire landed solid blows to Inoue and that 11th round knockdown may have given the reason for the judges to give the fight to Inoue.

Hahaha, yes we need to move on even though not a good week for us Filipinos on boxing and hope that Casimero will bring back the glory days.

Jerwin Ancajas and the record breaker Donnie "Ahas" Nietes also need to win if they have scheduled fights as they are the only fighters (aside from Manny) capable of offsetting the loss of Donaire and Duno.

Note: guys, i will be locking this thread in a few hours or in 24 hours maximum. 

Inoue takes all the solid punch of Donaire and it just easily absorbed. The filipino fighter ain't able to resist that body punch and that made him lost, without that the chance from score system will be tough. it was interesting when Donaire almost got the winning combo but failed to finish. Maybe if he didn't stop punching while Inoue is holding him there's enough time for him if he pushed it aggressively.

That's right, I mean Donaire was there to also take the win but that knockdown on the eleventh round sealed the deal. Though Donaire is slow, he landed fatal blows to Inoue but credit to the Japanese fighter to withstand those blows. It's also clear that Inoue worked on to his speed to defeat the Filipino boxer and that paid our so we'll.

Inoue is definitely faster to our Filipino Flash, that was a sure thing :(. And knowing this disappointing result for our fellow Filipino, I will understand if some might think that it's now his time to retire or Donaire, himself, might think of it as well. I mean I'll be honest here, for me Nonito already fall behind among others in his division. There are now younger, faster and heavier puncher than him today — he is no longer on his prime. But well, at the end of the day it was still up to him if he'll continue or not, besides a 40-6 record is still not a bad one tho :D.

I agree he had done so many things to his flag and to his career but I'm pretty sure that he already earns a lot from boxing, it's time for him to start a new career, he can still work in boxing, as a promoter or trainer like all the past great boxers, he might want to go back here in thr Philippines and trained young fighters, just like Pacquiao is doing.

or he can also get into crypto like Pacman did, lol.. remember that PAC token?
Seriously, I know Donaire is smart and I know he will have a career after he retires if he really is ready for retirement.

Please let's not think that Donaire is not good anymore, he is still good, he just lost because he was fighting against a better boxer which is younger than him and he go down in weight, so that's a big disadvantage also to him, that's why we saw he has less power.

Anyone knows if how much these 2 fighters got as a winning for this Finals? I believe the winner are also given a monetary prize aside from the Trophy and the belt, I'm talking about Inoue but I believe Donaire also get some cash for reaching in the Finals.

Although he lost, still hats off to Donaire.

I'm pretty sure he earned Inoue's respect and probably all those Japanese fans who watched that fight.

You don't call it "easily absorbed" when he was clearly hurt/staggered in at least two rounds from Donaire's punches.

Age difference played a big role in this game and to be honest, there is no disappointment at all for us. Some analysts predicted that it will end in 4-6 rounds but they didn't expect that this will be the outcome of the match.

After this match, I think that Donaire will try to fight one more game to regain himself but if he losses again on that match then maybe it is time for him to retire.

No, I suggest that he will retire at the age of 36, but boxers nowadays won't do that easily, as long as they can still fight and they can still make money, they will continue fighting. Look at Manny, the guy is already 40 years old and yet he is not stopping yet, of course he is still looking for another one big shot and that should be Mayweather.

Though Donaire lose in this fight he gave his best and not intimidated to Inoue, he showed that he's tough but unfortunately the younger one is much stronger.

I think its better to retire after victory that everyone will remember so I'll be happy seeing Donaire continue his boxing career since he is still in condition to fight.

If he will be given an opportunity after the big fight, then I'm sure we will see him fight again.
Donaire is living in the US and I think there's a lot of fight opportunity in the US and he has already build his name in the US so its not hard for him to sell the fight.

It's better for him to retire dud, he has nothing to prove and all his achievements are cemented in boxing history. In his fight against Inoue showed that he can't keep up with the speed of young boxers. I think Donaire should retire to avoid further damage in his self.

Anyone follow Donaire on Instagram? Here's a photo of Donaire with his kids and the Muhamad Ali Trophy. Yes, that's the Muhamad Ali Trophy.

https://i.imgur.com/9QceIBn.jpg

Here's a part of his post in Instagram on how he was able to bring that trophy with him.

"...I came to Japan to take the Muhammad Ali trophy. I promised my sons they would see it in the morning. And with tears in my eyes, I humbly asked Inoue to borrow it for a night, not for me but for my word. It'll be a life lesson my boys will soon learn. That you do your best and you come short. You will win. You will lose. But in either aspect you will do so graciously. It'll pain them to see my face. They'll kiss my wounds. They'll see a trophy we don't get to take home and understand what it means to want to train harder. And I told about the battle I fought. That I'd rather put my life on that sheild than give up. And that we will ALWAYS fight. ."

Not just a good boxer but also a good Dad for keeping his word.

Holding back my tears when i read this lol. Donaire, IMO is the only Filipino boxer who is intelligent in or out of the ring. When you listen to his post-fight interviews you could really tell that this guy has breeding :). For sure, his sons will be very proud of him and proudly tell the stories of how their dad gallantly fought a battle where everyone thinks that is unwinnable.

Aww, that really hurts. I know that Donaire hasn't been in the headlines and I must tell that he didn't have the charisma that Pacquiao had even at his prime. Yes, I would say that he has been raise good by his father, maybe they have a fall out or something, but it was sorted out years ago. I admire that guy though in and out of the right, it's just bad too see him lost. But as the saying goes, life must go on, so kudos for him for giving us a good fight and something to cheer about even we all know that he is really past his prime.

Even Donaire did not win this fight Im still believe in him that in his next fight for sure he will do his best to win fight.
Im still here for him because he is Filipino we are same Citizenship and Im proud of him and I hope he train harder when he have a next fight losses is the step for the person to become winner if they workhard.

I think you have to take a look again at the replay so that you will reconsider your statement here. I agree that Donaire almost take the belt if only he didn't down on that round 11. That made the judges to help Inoue wins despite of his (Donaire) damage dealt to Inoue. If Donaire made Inoue touch the canvas he might have taken the belt with him.

If Donaire has not been knocked down, I think the March would have been a draw or a split decision still in favor for the Japanese superstar. Donaire has power and Inoue has the speed so I guess they both matched up very well.

I think this fight is amazing and as said by the other posts, well-matched fight. Donaire fought hard with this great boxer, and I don't think that knockdown is the only reason Inoue won, there are other factors too. The score of one of the judges is 117-109, maybe he looked at the knockdown while the other judge's scores are not that distant, Donaire did well.

Donaire's pic with the trophy along with his two son speaks a lot, it was a very heart-warming story. This only shows that in the world of boxing where alpha males fight for glory, there are still existing who never forget stepping on the ground. This attitude is very rare actually because most of the fighters we knew are sttongly guarded with their pride and don't want the feel of domination. Maybe I no longer idolize him as a boxer but now I more idolize him as a dad and human :).
