Inoue vs. Donaire WBSS Bantamweight Final

[nydiacaskey01]

Nonito is already way past his prime. I don't know he was still fighting at this stage of his career.

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

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.

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.

[Johnzky]

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.

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.

[goaldigger]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
