Inoue vs. Donaire WBSS Bantamweight Final

[coin-investor]

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.

[Questat]

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 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.

[Bttzed03]

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..

It isnt surprising for the youngster would be the favorite on this upcoming fight but lets see if experience would always have the edge.

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

[Ziskinberg]

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.

[GreatArkansas]

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.

“His condition is good. We want to bring back his speed,” Donaire Jr.’s father and trainer Nonito Donaire Sr. told SunStar Cebu.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Odds: Burnett -950 (bet $950 to win $100), Donaire +575 (bet $100 to win $575)
