Inoue vs. Donaire WBSS Bantamweight Final

[Ranly123]

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.

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.

[Jating]

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 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.

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.

After his loss to Walters, I think he already learn how to fight smart.

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.

[rosezionjohn]

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

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.

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. 

[serjent05]

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.

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.

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.

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.

[stomachgrowls]

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.

[darklus123]

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.

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.

[cabron]

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.

[serjent05]

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

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?

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.

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

[btc_angela]

^^ 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.
