[Boxing]: Naoya Inoue vs Michael Dasmarinas June 19

[Russlenat]

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?

Betting odds are not available yet but you can expect that Dasmarinas will have a very attractive betting odds, and if you will bet on him to win, that must be so exciting to watch the fight as if you are lucky, you'll get a big reward. I'm guessing, your Php 1000 will win Php 10,000.. I guess that's how heavily favored Inoue is.

Japan's Inoue will have to defend his belt against IBF mandatory Michael Dasmarinas of the Philippines.

So let's wait for the final date, we still have the Covid-19 situation though, I speculate that the fight could be held around May-June.

I remember, I watched the fight between Donaire and Inoue, in which Inoue dismantled Donaire in a 12-round fight. Although Donaire was already reaching his prime, he managed to stay toe-to-toe with such lethal and deadly japanese fighter.

Now that there is another match between Inoue and a Filipino, I really bet that this match would be exciting and explosive as the one that I have mentioned above. If Dasmarinas wants to get this win, he really needs to grind hard and to develop tactics as Inoue is just a devastating fighter and a puncher.

There's no easy fight when you are fighting against Inoue, he is the "BEAST" in boxing, so he should be feared.
Dasmarinas is not a caliber fighter but I am not underestimating him anyway, he has to prove his capability in his fight and the world will him if he wins.

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.

Still in operation as a rumor but one thing is definitely sure that, odds will be competitive becasue of the caliber of fighter in this fight. Although you made a point but majority of replies i have read aren't from Filipino but from other zones, those who think that losing this fight to Michael Dasmarinas will cost Naoya Inoue reputation should have rethink about his statistic.

It's not possible, Inoue was the heavy favorites in his last two fights and if we will compare Dasmarinas on the the achievement of the last 2 opponents of Inoue, I think they have better achievement. Therefore, I expect the same odds or even less competitive.

But when Donaire and Inoue face in battle , Nonito has no longer in his Prime we can see how he punch and move much slower in His peak and also the punches power is lessen that's why He did not end the reign of Inoue , But now Dasmarinas is Thirsty and Hungry to win specially this is a title Bout so for sure Inoue will face his Nightmare in this one.

You mean Donaire is past his prime. His power and stamina has obviously declined, thus Inoue destroyed him just the way he usually beat his opponents. Donaire is one of the best Filipino fighters of all time, but none of the Filipino fighters comes close to how good Pacquiao is.
He (Donaire) shouldn't have fought Inoue toe to toe considering how young and hungry the kid was. He should've being more defensive that being aggressive.

Now that there is another match between Inoue and a Filipino, I really bet that this match would be exciting and explosive as the one that I have mentioned above. If Dasmarinas wants to get this win, he really needs to grind hard and to develop tactics as Inoue is just a devastating fighter and a puncher.

Dasmariñas has a shot at this, but Inoue is on winning momentum and he seems getting better at every fight the reason why he's heavily favoured on this match up.

Correct, because if we look at the betting odds for Casimero vs Inoue, you'll be surprise that Inoue is still heavily favored despite both are champions.

As this article says: https://mb.com.ph/2020/03/05/odds-stacked-against-john-riel-casimero-as-vegas-heavily-favors-naoya-inoue/

Reports from Las Vegas put Inoue an 11-2 favorite and Casimero a 7-2 underdog in their scheduled 12-rounder at Mandalay Bay.

According to Casimero’s chief handler Sean Gibbons, a measly bet of $2 for Casimero wins $7 while a whopping $11 wager wins a mere $2.

So we can use that as a basis to estimate the betting odds of this fight.

Any update regarding this fight? It's been a while and t seems like the hype for Inoue was gone.

I'm sure now that the vaccines are already available, travelling from country to country is not hard anymore so there's no reason this fight will be cancelled.

seems no recent updates yet. but according to this article , they are planning to hold this coming April. however, it will be next month already and no updates from them. so it means, it will not materialise this coming April.
this covid is like their determining factor. and it says from the article, if Japan will allow Dasmarinas to travel from PH to their country. so that sched is yet to be determined as they are planning to have the fight in Inoue's home country.

Not with the vaccine-related thing but according to Arum, Inoue's camp wants the fight to happen in Japan which isn't currently possible as the country is on lockdown and every foreigner is not welcome, at least for boxing-related activities. That's the reason why there's still no date up to now.

March is supposedly the target date but referring to Japan's current restrictions and policy against Covid-19, looks like it won't happen so their next target is next month, or to somehow make it happen this month, Inoue should agree to hold the fight overseas.

All matters with the situation and its true that vaccines now are rolling out which means that situation might be different when it comes on setting up things that do relate to covid issues.There are arent any words from both parties or team which means its still not set nor finalized yet since there are lots of factors to be considered first before everything will be resumed out.It is just they are still observing on whats the situation in regards into this pandemic.

I'm sorry mate, I haven't seen or read any update so far for this fight. Probably they are still working very hard to have this show in the US wherein fight fans at least will be allowed to watch just like the recent Estrada-Gonzalez in Texas.

I'll keep this thread updated if something comes out in the future.

This isn't a big fight though, so probably they have not finalize it as promoter could also be looking for some good revenue knowing fans are already allowed to watch the fight live. The possible fight was announce when there's no vaccine on covid-19 yet, but things have change a lot now.

Most likely they would really be finding out that kind of set-up where crowd could really be able to visit out and make more money or revenue on it which it is just a normal thing for management to do so.

I dont see any updates nor news about this fight which we can presume that they might cancelled it out or just really be preparing behind the curtains and make out some announcement.

Actually it does really test out our patience specially that we are really expecting some fight for this year, something which is really an entertaining one.

Hopefully after this fight it will be Casimero vs Inoue, that's the most awaited fight and it will be the biggest fight of Inoue in the US if this will happen. Remember it was cancelled, but since crowd are already allowed, there should be no excuses from Arum not to make this fight happen.

Fans will be okay if this fight will be cancelled to give way to the Inoue vs Casimero fight.

Both fighters had an impressive win last year and they deserved to have a big fight in the US.
The odds would still not change, Casimero would still be the underdog and I can't wait to hammer than odds once available.

I don't think that they are going to cancel this though, it will be a good measuring stick for Inoue here, before chasing Casimero.

Although I would agree that we are all excited and eager for Inoue vs Casimero as I believed that there are still hype and both of them 'should' face it's other at this division before anyone of them decided to move up in weight.

I agree with that, we have great boxing match up already, why would they avoid each other, or why promoter would do that.

If they will fight, lots of fans will surely be interested with this.

They could be the Fury vs Joshua in the sports and I love Casimero's aggressiveness towards calling Inoue as it looks like its easy for him to beat Inoue and that would make fans be more interested in this fight.

Naoya Inoue vs Michael Dasmarinas is sure still a great match, some Filipino fighters are underestimated so let's see if Dasmarinas here can pull an upset.

Hard to believe on with some upset by Dasmarinas for this fight.If we do compared those past fighters who had been taken down by Inoue then you can
really say that this would really be just the same.Filipino fighters are good but they should really be careful with in fights with Inoue as his past records
where close range box would really be an advantage.Stamina? Inoue does have it.

For promoter or management on not allowing some fights or wouldnt sign then there are factors that do affect that its neither less revenue or they are just trying to
evade or protect their boxer on not to mess out their records.
