[Boxing]: Naoya Inoue vs Michael Dasmarinas June 19

[TravelMug]

When it comes to betting habits or recognition then i do always root for PH boxers from time to time due to probability of some upset.

I agree with this but not most of the time but it depends on the boxers involved.

I treat Dasmarinas' last fights as easy and this time, it will be different. If no mandatory defense for Inoue, I think there's no Dasmarinas name on the list. Not degrading Dasmarinas but I think he also not have a choice here but to leap quickly on a much tougher opponent as no need to fight other boxers and he can go straight to Number 1. Even against Casimero, which is much more of a strong boxer compare to Dasmarinas, the chance for Inoue to win is high.

Well he earn his spot but fighting those who are next in line, so I would say that it is not an easy road for Michael here, he has been waiting for years to have a crack at the champion and now he finally get it. For sure he has been looking at the tapes of Inoue even before this is announce because sooner or later, as a mandatory they are going to face each other.

Definitely it's the biggest fight of his career, if he wins this, this is a big victory for him and his team. Inoue is currently on his prime, his KO record is very impressive, hence I would say that Inoue is a dangerous fighter, and his opponent should have a good game plan in order to last and beat him in the game.

Can't wait to see this big fight.

If Inoue will loss here then he does not deserve to be in the top rank of pound for pound fighter.

Inoue's reputation won't be destroyed in case of loss. 17 KO in his 20 fights is a highly recognized stats. He will still remain on the top rankings after that.

He worked his way up beating some of the titleholders. Lots of attempts to take his title but successfully defend the edit. Even I'm eyeing for Dasmarinas here to win, as supporting him obviously and we are always biased for a PH boxer, I can't really see a way how he will deal with Inoue here.

Dasmarinas already knows how fierce Inoue is. He knows how deadly and recognized his next opponent is. Surely, tactics and strategy are now taking place for a long-time now.

Dasmarinas needs to come with a secret weapon strategy like what Manny Pacquaio does to Oscar Dela Hoya years ago. He will be fighting a known knockout artist. This is the time for his life to change if he gives an outstanding fight with this one but of course he also needs to get the win for that to happen. I think he needs to give it all he can in the ring, If I were him I consider this fight my last fight so that I can be in 100% condition to beat my opponent.

There is no secret weapon strategy in the Pacquiao vs Dela Hoya though, Manny is too fast and Oscar can't pull the trigger that time because he is wash up fighter already. So we can't really compare the fight, in my opinion. What Michael should do, if he has the tools is to really timing Inoue, just like what Nonito did.

Although Nonito lost, but he has broke Inoue orbital bone and had cut him over his right eye. So it's going to be a brutal fight if Dasmarinas wanted to win here.

Dasmarinas needs to come with a secret weapon strategy like what Manny Pacquaio does to Oscar Dela Hoya years ago.

That's a very different scenario, there was no belt in that fight IIRC, it was a catch weight and the two would really love to fight.

It was the fight of David vs Goliath but Manny proved his speed is too much to handle, so Oscar gave up.

This fight between Inoue and Dasmarinas, they are both in the same division so it's really different and Dasmarinas is not a superstar unlike Manny when he fought Dela Hoya.

[electronicash]

just to have a chance to fight Inoue is already a good achievement for Dasma, its a long shot but i hope he wins, i have doubts but i hope he wins the match.
i didn't think Inoue would knock Nonito during their match. i watched it live expecting to win but was disappointed. Inoue is just a puncher that could break ribs, he already knocked boxers with good names.

[RokokGudangGaram]

What I am waiting is for Inoue to fight Casimero but I am sure that the time will come for sure that the two will meet in the ring especially if Dasmarinas cannot stop Inoue in their upcoming fight.

But this will be a good chance for Dasmarinas for sure to make a good record if he can beat Inoue in their upcoming fight, he is a mandatory challenger so I am sure that he has a chance to beat Inoue but with regards to percentage, it will only depend on how ready he is in their upcoming fight.

Preparations for this upcoming fight would really be more than on what they had done when they are preparing into those small fry boxers that they had fought in the past.

This is indeed a big leap and a good opportunity to show off about his fullest potential as a boxer (Dasmarinas). He wont able to achieve something high if he wont really be aiming for those who are on top ranks.

Good thing that this had been a mandatory fight or else then it would be an another possible opponent where Inoue's team would choose on.
Inoue is a monster and with having those heavy blows that would surely creeps into your spine.

[dothebeats]

Inoue is no doubt the better fighter when it comes to stats and experience, though I believe that Dasmarinas can pull off a good fight if the Japanese boxer underestimates his capabilities and punching power.

The Japanese boxer's previous fights weren't a slouch, so going down a level below to the ranks of Dasmarinas might instill overconfidence on his side, and this might make the hungry Dasmarinas go in for the kill and teach Inoue a lesson or two. But anyways, we know who's the favorite in this fight, and the pressure is on Dasmarinas to trade blows and overcome Inoue's hooks.

I hope his pressure will make him aggressive to give Inoue a good fight, and if possible to KO him.
However, all of what I said I believe has a very low chance because Inoue is really dominant in the ring and he can adjust to any situation.

let's just enjoy this fight, I'll put up a bet on Dasmarinas as I don't want the value of my money betting on Inoue due to low odds.

Yes, as much as we don't think that Dasmarinas won't be a good fit for the Monster in paper, but he shouldn't be over confident as just one punch can really change the complexion of the fight.

Then it will be his mistakes for being over confident specially facing his mandatory with nothing to lose here. And then the big heart of the Filipinos that can't be measured, it has been proven throughout boxing's history never to underestimate Filipino fighters.

If somehow Dasmarinas possesses a granite chin like Margarito or Canelo, then absorb the punch and throw something in return that can hurt Inoue and extend the fight in full 12 rounds.

How about the body, I think he also need a strong body otherwise he would feel like what Donaire felt during his fight with Inoue. This guy is now the most popular boxer in Japan, he has the power and the speed, so it's really a tough fight for Dasmarinas here but this tough fight comes with big reward if he wins this game, enough for him to get bigger fights afterwards.

I think he has enough strength on his body, but for sure it will be tested by Inoue. And Inoue needs to get closer to have his body shot and for sure Dasmarinas will return with his own. So the chin will be the most vulnerable part as Inoue is very sharp and targets the head more frequently than that body.

And I agree the incentive of training hard and giving it all to win this fight against the best version of Inoue will come with a big reward for Michael and upsetting Inoue will be a dream come true for him, similar to Pacquiao's cinderella story.

It's going to be the best win of his career if he can beat Inoue, on the other hand, I would not compare Dasmarinas to Pacquiao since Pacquiao is just so special, he is really destined to become one of the best in boxing if not the "GOAT".

Yes, Manny is special and the GOAT. But what I'm trying to say is that Dasmarinas could use it as motivation to really train very hard because he is facing an undefeated fighter and one the best pound for pound.

And with the Manny story at the back of his mind he can possibly follow on Manny's footstep and became the next Filipino champion that will bring honour to the country.

If Inoue would lose in this fight, it will never ruin his reputation because he has established a good record already. If he losses, it will also be another path to success for Dasmarinas and as we all know, Filipinos are too dedicated when it comes to their boxing career because of Manny's influence. Dasmarinas should learn how to deal with the possible movements of Inoue and he should prepare well for this because they both deserve a good fight.

Even its hard to believe that he would be losing this fight but since chances or odds of losing will really be there.Yes, filipino boxers are tough and have that kind of mindset
that it would really be just the same when it comes to dedication.

The date isn't finalized yet though but once rumor do comes out then probabilities of happening is somewhat high.

[Maslate]

The date isn't finalized yet though but once rumor do comes out then probabilities of happening is somewhat high.

This rumor is going to happen because this is a mandatory fight for Inoue, so it's good that we discuss this early because the moment it's officially announce and the betting odds is available, we can easily make a decision. I think most of the posters here are Filipino but I'm still interested to know on what's the majorities pulse on this fight, I hope OP would add a poll.

No need for poll as this thread might become bias if the winner is Dasmarinas in the poll.
I will bet for Dasmarinas but I don't I would not be surprise if Inoue will take him down in this fight, that's what he usually do so it's not surprising.
What is see is the heart of the Filipino boxer which who keeps fighting and never give up, we all want to see a great fight and hopefully this is one.

The Donaire vs Inoue was a great fight, hopefully we will see the same but with different result.

Yeah and what does Pulse can do in the outcome of the game? the decisions is depend on the judges and referee and from the performance of the Boxers , so even How majority will comes out nothing will change .

and you are right on this Kabayan because this will looks like Bias since for sure Countrymen will Vote for majority .


One thing is sure here , this fight will be a very tough one for Dasmarinas and Hope that He'll get a chance of Beating this undefeated Japanese boxer.

Most posters here are Filipino anyways, so it will be bias and we might see Dasmarinas winning 70% if we have a poll. That's Filipino though, they will support their kababayans no matter what the odds are.

The Donaire vs Inoue was a great fight, hopefully we will see the same but with different result.

Yes, the Donaire fight was indeed a great fight, Donaire was the closest we have seen Inoue goes deep in a fight. I would say that if Donaire has the gas in the championship rounds and hit a perfect left hook, he could have ended Inoue's reign. Although he really did a lot of damage on Inoue breaking his orbital bone in the process. Hope that Dasmarinas can finish what Donaire has started.

I don't think he can, there's a very big difference, Donaire is battle-tested he has gone to a lot of fights he is not afraid to go all out and always go all out you cannot bully Donaire, we cannot say the same thing to Dasmarinas who is not yet faced someone as strong and as skillfully as Inoue, but it's going to be a good experience for him for his future fights.

Interesting if Dasmarinas can make a dent on this fight. I believe he is rigidly preparing for this fight. He is fighting a very popular name already in the boxing. The odds for this fight definitely will favour Inoue. But wonder what will be the gap of the odds?
