Inoue vs Donaire II discussion

[d3nz]

Time's up for Donaire. He is going to hang up his gloves and bid boxing good bye. Possibly not boxing in general because he might pursue a boxing clinic, a boxing gym, or perhaps a boxing mentorship, but his professional boxing career may be over. No regrets because he has proven his worth and skills. There is no unfinished business for him in the scene. In fact he will be inducted to the hall of fame because of his boxing accomplishments. He has nothing to prove anymore.

He should really consider hanging up his gloves now, it may not be a good farewell because of that defeat in the rematch with Inoue but he don't have much of a choice now because he is getting older and he may just be a stepping stone for the upcoming generation. Might as well retire while his name is still fresh, he has proven his worth already in this industry and that is already a good reason.

Every boxer does have their own ego whether they do hang up their gloves after a win or not and it would be depending on them but at the age of 39 then it isnt really that bad to consider on hanging up his gloves or

simply retire.The old donaire we used to knows cant already be seen from fast jabs and good footwork but we havent see this on this fight.If you do look closely or trying out to compare both physique then

he is much smaller in appearance than Inoue..I dont know if he lose weight too much yet im not get used to into those kind of body form of Donaire but well thats not a reason.

Well, he is turning 40 this November so he should really start considering hanging his gloves because judging from the last fight, he is not the Filipino Flash that we used to know anymore. His versatility and speed including the rate of his punches have already changed, he even admits that he is having a hard time at the fight because he can't follow Inoue's punches and the next thing he knows is that the punches were already landed at his temple. Nonetheless, we can see how dedicated he is to the fight as he even tried to have some other fights before he decides to chase the rematch but all of that was wasted because the gap is really evident.

His father wants him to retire already.

Donaire Sr. wants Jr. to retire after 2nd-round TKO loss to Inoue

I think he should listen to his father already, that's the best advice for him, he already proved himself so he can enjoy the life after boxing.

That's right. We can obviously see the lack of speed and power of Donaire before in his prime he can dominate his rivals but today he could only be a punching bag for them.

Retiring would be the best decision of Donaire.

[livingfree]

I think it's better for him to decide not to fight anymore than to make mistakes like this again and again in another fight.

I also think that he just had to retire for good.

That's already enough and a lose is a lose and that will not change a thing anymore. He's past his prime and also won a lot, his professional record is still good and this possible last fight that he made against Inoue won't be the basis of his entire career.

It's part of boxing that losing is there, maybe someday in the future we'll see Inoue will have his first ever lose unless he'll consider to retire without getting it just like Floyd.

Donaire can have the rest for now while there’s still no opportunity to fight but most probably he will have another match again since he might not want to retire with a loss, he is still good its just that Inoue is too much for him. Retiring is quiet changed a lot in boxing honestly, those retired boxer can still have a match and make money so maybe Donaire can do the same thing.

Well, Inoue is too young to retire but if he really wants to protect his good record then why not? Its his choice but knowing him, most probably he will continue to have the much as long as there’s a good money, he can’t say no to this for sure.

Right after the fight i thought that it is time for Donaire to retire because i thought that he doesn't have it anymore, i mean the Filipino Flash that we used to see was not the same anymore but after a few days i realized that it was not Donaire's inability tp avoid the punches but it is the brilliance of Inoue that led to the downfall of Donaire. I mean, no one can withstand those heavy bombs that the Monster threw even if that boxer is in his prime.

Bottom line, Donaire can still fight if he wants to but not a trilogy with Inoue.

He has to choose who he is going to fight if he still pushes for one more fight. Well, about fighting Inoue again for the third time, this is already out of the box.
If he chooses to fight Inoue again, this is just all about desperation and he's likely to lose again. He probably had accepted that he can't beat Inoue and if pushing for another match then he should be picky and that would be the one that he knows he can beat the out of it.

Well if I have to advise him, it's better to just say it quit already. I know that he still can fight, but who is he going to fight then? There are a lot of young guys in the division that can give him a serious beating and we don't want to see Donaire getting knock out again.

So there are no more challenges for him and most of his contemporaries have retired already. Maybe he can still work in the background, or put up his own promotional company just like what Manny did.

But in this case I find it quite difficult if he does fight again and loses again then this will indeed continue to tarnish the name he has made in his career.
It would be better if he stopped because his current age is actually quite difficult to fight.
But if he still wants to fight and insist on it then indeed the consequences might be having to prepare for the worst.

If it's about opportunity to fight, I think he still got a lot.

But this is just all about the pride before he retires and I think there's nothing bad if his last fight was a lose against Inoue, the known monster and a champion.

It's still something to be proud of that you've gone that far although, personally it's hard to accept that he has lost to him twice.

Good point, as we have been discussing, it's all about your legacy for some fighters. It all started for Nonito when he blasted Darchy with that left hook and then instantly he become a household name. And he has nothing to prove as well, he will be a soon hall-of-famer. So it's better if the stops fighting because the chances of losing again and it could hurt him in the long run. He has given the Philippines another champion already and for sure there are a lot of PH fighters that can carry the torch from them (Manny and Nonito).

Yes, that's one that he has to consider if he plans to fight again but just like what we think, it's better for him not to fight and retire for good and just help the other young boxers.

Well if I have to advise him, it's better to just say it quit already. I know that he still can fight, but who is he going to fight then? There are a lot of young guys in the division that can give him a serious beating and we don't want to see Donaire getting knock out again.

We're all on accord with the idea of him taking his retirement from pro boxing. He's done well and even the last match wasn't the best and made his record badly, that's just still a record but without thinking, unless he's got a reason to fight again and it's understandable for all of the fans, we can't change his mind whatever is his decision.

[Sanitough]

It's still something to be proud of that you've gone that far although, personally it's hard to accept that he has lost to him twice.

The fight was not even close, just accept it, maybe we are just too biased because we support our Donaire to win, but if you look at the betting odds, you can easily figure out that Donaire's chance of winning is very slim. He did his best but Inoue is just too much for him, no excuses for him.

Just disregard the last fight, it's already a lose and it has happened.

What I'm saying was about Donaire's journey and he's gone far and even it's a disappointing recent fight for him, he's still made a lot of wins before this lose.

Well, for the odds, sure that the favor is in Inoue and because they know it that it'll be a monster's belt.

[goinmerry]

Bob Arum only cares about money in this and nothing else.

Bob Arum is a genius and knows how to handle the promoting business for a long.

You might be against some of his actions but admit it, without the help and influence of Bob Arum, the fight can even hit a sold-out.

He has lots of connections and totally recognized as the top promoter that's why when Top Rank was in-charge of a fight, it was a sure sold-out and the handled boxers will also take a big return.

Well if I have to advise him, it's better to just say it quit already. I know that he still can fight, but who is he going to fight then? There are a lot of young guys in the division that can give him a serious beating and we don't want to see Donaire getting knock out again.

Although I have to agree with you that Donaire should quit already, I disagree that those young guys in the Bantamweight are fully a threat to Donaire.

Donaire loses to Inoue as the latter is too much for him but believe me, Donaire can still pulverize those other boxers at the Bantamweight at this point of his career.

Even i do make myself anticipate that Donaire would win on this rematch but i was shocked on how he looked inside the ring and you could really able to tell the difference in terms of presence
and body build which just like on what others been saying that  he's bit not that good looking or doesnt even throw out some good punches even if he do have some aggressive stance.
But ending up on being humilated by Inoue on where he didnt able to stand up with those blows that he do get even if he do tend to guard. Faints are good made by Inoue
which does simple shows on whose the better boxer.

Casimero can talk all he want but Inoue and his team aren't going to participate in the battle of trashtalk because Inoue knows that he's already far now while Casimero is still struggling and facing the consequences prior the fight against Butler. Inoue will be even further if he decides to move to another weight class after he is done with Butler.

Inoue knows his next priority, and it's Butler who is holding the belt that Inoue needs for him to be the undisputed champion. Though I like to see a Casimero vs Inoue fight, looks like this is far from happening already now that Inoue won't get anything big fighting Casimero.

Casimero has to find a way to get back in boxing, slowly but surely, not challenging or trash taking a humble champion.

Yeah, me too! I really want to see Casimero and Inoue sharing the same ring but sadly, it really looks like Casimero won't have that chance because of the his weight issues. Maybe, I'm not sure, maybe they will meet again in other division if they will both move but for Inoue, he's still not giving a clue of his plans on whether he will move to other division if he's already done with Butler. I prefer the word done because Butler certainly have no match with the current Inoue.
