Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Jating]

Also, Donaire is more suited in the bantamweight division rather than looking for a title at 115 pounds as I'm inclined that his career might end sooner that what he expected. Having a fight against Moloney for the vacant title is already a good opportunity for Donaire to display his prowess again in this division that he was once a champion, it will be a perfect bout for him to test if he can still do few more fights or it's time for him to hang up his gloves.

It's such a waste to go on retirement soon when he still feeling it and he still can punch to knock out his opponent. since this boxing industry gathers huge money, it's really hard for those like Donaire to turn away from offers while he still can box and can give the fans excited when he fights in the ring. I think he will stop when he will gonna suffers the same loss again when he will gonna be knockout out cold or can no longer take some punches like how he used to be in his prime. right now, his speed is not the same anymore, and when he retires he will be soon fighting celebrity boxers if he still wants to make money from boxing.

Whether we like it or not, Donaire will be retiring soon, he is already 40 years old and that's already old in boxing now. He suffer many losses already, one was against Inoue which was his recent loss, but of course, he has a chance to be a champion again as Inoue has already moved up in weight. So it's nice if he will just retire as a champion in case he'll be a champ again.

It only make sense for Donaire to retire because admit it or not, father time has catch up with him, have you notice that thin hair line now? just like what we have seen in Lebron James, signs that they are getting old.

So this is his last chance, we don't want him to get knockout cold, if he lost for the belt against Moloney then that should be it.

It's time to admit that he can no longer box.

Well if he does that it seems that the unification of the Super bantamweight division for him will not go through or he doesn't want it to be unified, or he is scared of Naoya Inoue so maybe he will try in the higher divisions or he is just checking his strength if he can make it to 126, lbs it seems really odd after saying that to Naoya Inoue or the other boxers in that division then he is now climbing up, I really don't know what to say,

Why would he? Is that a claim that he cannot be defeated by him?
Super Bantamweight will be packed with superstars but there's also that chance to be in stardom once these guys are defeated. I think Inoue is aiming for that.
He wants the champions to fight against him for an easy way to claim what record he is trying to break.
2 divisions with all the belts in him. But if you are a fighter that is able to stop that, take it. I think many boxers now are just trying to make an excuse to avoid strong fighters forgetting how it will feel good if they are the ones who won't let them achieve it.

In that sense, more on protecting their names instead of protecting the belts. I don't have any idea if why he will climb if his weight still fits or if he can still maintain 122lbs, fighting Inoue will bring him money for sure, but if that's his decision or his camp see that he really have that chance to climb and challenge the current title holder then so be it.

All will be concluded once there's already updates coming from the social media channel, reputable sports website that will bring news regarding to any new information about it.

I think that in any case if Inoue decides to fight any boxer he will attract any boxer, this is a business model that has been very good, in any case, if Inoue has many fights to do, I think he has to look at the highest bidder , because that first translates into that the demand will be great, because Inoue has a very big reputation and this attracts attention then obviously it translates into that it will be very exciting, and this means that Inoue will be paid very good money, and now well after this we will see how much level Inoue will have, because in the category he was in he was the undisputed champion.

This is the reason why Donaire suddenly changed his course after knowing that Inoue will vacate all the belts once he climbs the next weight class, supposedly Donaire will go down at 115 pounds in super-flyweight division because he knows that he won't be holding any belts while Inoue is still in bantam weight but after knowing the fact, he is now maintaining the weight and I've heard that he's already scheduled to fight once WBO belt was vacated. Correct me if I'm wrong.

It's not that Donaire suddenly changed his course but it was an option right from the start. It's just that some conditions were met.

As you mentioned, WBC mandated a fight involving Donaire if Naoya Inoue decided to vacate all his belts in the bantamweight.

Moving forward, since Inoue now officially moved up weight, Donaire will now instead push on the better option which is competing again in the WBC Bantamweight title against Australian's Jason “Mayhem” Moloney.

I guess though the condition still base on Inoue, and now that he has official going to super bantamweight, it make sense for Donaire to stay at the bantamweight and fight against Moloney for the vacant belt.

And if by chance Inoue decided for at least fight another one in the bantamweight, it's either Donaire moving down to 115 lbs and could remain semi retired. But the good thing is that the first condition has been met so Donaire will have another crack to get his belt back.

Also, Donaire is more suited in the bantamweight division rather than looking for a title at 115 pounds as I'm inclined that his career might end sooner that what he expected. Having a fight against Moloney for the vacant title is already a good opportunity for Donaire to display his prowess again in this division that he was once a champion, it will be a perfect bout for him to test if he can still do few more fights or it's time for him to hang up his gloves.

I agree, although some of us would likely advise him to retire because of the brutal beating he got from the hands of Inoue, this boxers still seek something before they finally hang up their gloves.

And this could be a make or break for Nonito, if he lost this one, then it's better to quit because he doesn't have anything to proved. But if he can win again then he has to go and will have to defend that belt and yes, this could be his second reign at bantamweight.

The truth is that the post-Inoue effect seems surprising to me, they are already thinking about the titles that will be vacant, it is necessary to see that Inoue has marked an era of boxing, it is difficult to do something like what he has achieved, to really be the undisputed in the category is something that commands a lot of respect, whatever Donaire is doing is something that he is looking to resurface again, for me the one who has to prove everything in his new category is still Inoue, since he is quite a boxer wanted by his opponents, and I think that right now many will want to face him, in the 115 category it is something that people have not yet given much to talk about and they have made a lot of noise.

And speaking of Inoue:

Naoya Inoue - A New Frontier at Jr. Featherweight

It took fifty years for there to be an undisputed bantamweight champion again at bantamweight.

It took about a month for the division to be left without a king again.

Last Friday, as reported at BoxingScene by Jake Donovan, Naoya Inoue made the expected announcement that he was heading toward his fourth weight class. In this case, there is no hedging, no holding onto a belt or two while dipping a toe in the water. Inoue is vacating his titles and pushing his chips all in.

The Japanese phenom adds to an already reignited weight class, though Jr. featherweight hasn’t ever been slow for long. Inoue is heading for one of the great war classes. Since its modern origin in the 1970s, 122 pounds has hosted an outsized collection of classics. It’s the division that gave us Wilfredo Gomez’s battles with Carlos Zarate and Lupe Pintor; Marco Antonio Barrera’s clashes with Kennedy McKinney, Junior Jones, and first with Erik Morales; the underground joy of Somsak Sithchatchawal-Mahyar Monshipour; and, those first three barnburners between Israel Vazquez and Rafael Marquez.

It only make sense for Donaire to retire because admit it or not, father time has catch up with him, have you notice that thin hair line now? just like what we have seen in Lebron James, signs that they are getting old.

So this is his last chance, we don't want him to get knockout cold, if he lost for the belt against Moloney then that should be it.

It's time to admit that he can no longer box.

There's only a limit for a certain thing and Nonito Donaire should already accept the reality if it turns out that he cannot have a title in this division anymore, there's no need to look in the lower division too because there's nothing to prove anymore. He's been known to be "The Flash" but lately, he's not that flashy or fast anymore as his opponent are already catching up with him.

Nice, this is something new I've just learned about this news today. Once Inoue gets out of his title, it will be vacant and this is where Donaire is trying to catch.
This is like the last match that he'll ever have and then will retire with the title and win because it's so hard to have that retirement when you've just lost consecutively to the current world champion as you can't just beat him. He's getting old but he's still trying and hopefully when Moloney approves on this, he'll get the belt.

Ok so it seems that Inoue vs Fulton is already set and the fight is going to be held in Japan, probably May-June, so this is a big news for us boxing fans. When we thought that Fulton is going to step up and go to 126 lbs because he doesn't want to fight Inoue.

Let's wait for the official announcement, at least the path is clear now for Inoue to go after the belt but it's not going to be easy as he will be fighting a great champion as well.  For sure this is going to be a lot of action in this fight.

If Inoue can overcome Fulton then we can say that he is the real deal in the 122 lbs division. Probably this will be Fulton's last fight in the super bantamweight before moving up.

Meanwhile, have read a news article that Donaire and Moloney will slug it out for the WBC belt vacated by Inoue. This is good news for us fans of Donaire as we all know that he still have some tricks to do the job even if he is 40 years old.

Let him have fun. If he still feels it, then push. Donaire just faced a fierce monster and lose that's why everyone thinks that he's done now. But for sure, he believes he can still go toe-to-toe with other bantamweight boxers.

I'm sure Naoya Inoue is the only tough opponent that Donaire faced in the Bantamweight. Donaire can even pulverize Paul Butler if they will meet each other. If there's a current bantamweight boxer aside from Inoue that will put Donaire kissing the canvass or will able to outbox and dominate him the whole fight, then that's the time to consider retiring for good and hanging his gloves.

No more taking chances if he still loses this upcoming fight.

Many are saying that the kind of fight Futon show in this video is not impressive enough, and they think that if Fulton do this kind of style against Inoue, he will be ko'ed since the fight shows that Fulton don't have enough power to shutdown a tough fighter like Brandon Figueroa and many said that it should have been a draw or Figueroa should have won the fight.  Regardless, I believe this fight will test Inoue's power if he still have the power to KO higher weight division fighter.  Aside from that I believe Inoue is too hasty to fight for the title fight, is he rushing himself to collect 9 division title to beat Manny's 8 division?  I wouldn't be surprise that he will be jumping straight to the next Division title fight after beating Fulton.

[harizen]

That's money and a chance for the title again. A perfect combination for a retiring boxer. Win or not, he will have a good amount in his pocket and maybe calm down waiting for a challenger or just do what Inoue did vacating the belt. I bet it will be difficult to trim that weight now considering his age, metabolism will be at a different level.
He already proved himself a lot of times in different weight classes. Time to just calm things down after this upcoming fight.

And in the very first place, how can Nonito Donaire even consider retiring if he's still given a big break and a chance for a title fight?

At his current age, which is in the retirement period already, such an offer to fight for a title match is something they can't just let go of. A nice opportunity to be a champion again while at the same, collecting more money before retiring.

Aside from that, I believed we did not see yet the limit of Donaire because Inoue is a big deal. I want to see his performance against an opponent after Inoue and that's the time we can only see if retiring should be an option now for him.

[livingfree]

Meanwhile, have read a news article that Donaire and Moloney will slug it out for the WBC belt vacated by Inoue. This is good news for us fans of Donaire as we all know that he still have some tricks to do the job even if he is 40 years old.

It's still floating.

But if it's guaranteed and official then Donaire will just have to prove himself that age doesn't matter and he's still a great guy to box with. He'll take back what's taken from him.

And I think that he's going to have more intense training and will be more pursued to win this match after his loss against Inoue who will just leave his rank and division.

Floating but confirmed official since the conditions were unlocked which is Naoya Inoue moving up a weight.

I believed Donaire should be able to handle Moloney as the former already experienced a difficult fight in his career, which is facing Inoue.

Remember that Donaire is the first one to put Inoue on a verge of losing that's why I'm sure he can handle other boxers in the bantamweight now that Inoue is out of sight and no more tough opponent is left in that division for him.

I agree Donaire has a good chance against Moloney, but here's the thing, Moloney is being promoted by Top Rank, and Donaire under Richard Schaefer, his  Probellum company.

However, Arum says that he doesn't want to work with Probellum because according to him, it has ties with Irish crime lord Daniel Kinahan, who was sanctioned by the U.S. Department of Treasury. So that makes things complicated again and we don't know if we will see this mandatory fight this year or how will the sanctioning body goes with their number 1 and number 2 contender for the vacate title if their promoters refused to work with each other.

[Slow death]

Also, Donaire is more suited in the bantamweight division rather than looking for a title at 115 pounds as I'm inclined that his career might end sooner that what he expected. Having a fight against Moloney for the vacant title is already a good opportunity for Donaire to display his prowess again in this division that he was once a champion, it will be a perfect bout for him to test if he can still do few more fights or it's time for him to hang up his gloves.

It's such a waste to go on retirement soon when he still feeling it and he still can punch to knock out his opponent. since this boxing industry gathers huge money, it's really hard for those like Donaire to turn away from offers while he still can box and can give the fans excited when he fights in the ring. I think he will stop when he will gonna suffers the same loss again when he will gonna be knockout out cold or can no longer take some punches like how he used to be in his prime. right now, his speed is not the same anymore, and when he retires he will be soon fighting celebrity boxers if he still wants to make money from boxing.

Whether we like it or not, Donaire will be retiring soon, he is already 40 years old and that's already old in boxing now. He suffer many losses already, one was against Inoue which was his recent loss, but of course, he has a chance to be a champion again as Inoue has already moved up in weight. So it's nice if he will just retire as a champion in case he'll be a champ again.

So this is his last chance, we don't want him to get knockout cold, if he lost for the belt against Moloney then that should be it.

It's time to admit that he can no longer box.

I cannot understand why a 40-year-old person still insists on boxing, do these trainers not see that he is already too old? Could it be that their trainer, his physical trainer don't realize that Donaire is old? I keep asking myself the following: if Donaire is fighting for the money then why doesn't he retire and fight in these exhibition fights? because in exhibition fights he won't wear out his body and consequently wouldn't wear out his health

Head Injuries

Aside from the injuries of the muscle and bone, there are more important ones, namely injuries of the brain. Concussions are very common in boxing, especially because of the size of the gloves, which allow the boxers to hit harder.

Combined with 12-round fights, the accumulation of punches can cause career-ending and even life-threatening injury. The rate of concussion also increases after receiving an initial concussion, so the risk of brain injury increases as a fighter prolongs their career.

Prichard Colon was forced into retirement when his last fight left him in a vegetative state.

a good athlete needs to know when to retire, when the athlete is insistent and does not know when to retire he runs the rich life, starts to put his health and life at risk and something that can happen is that the athlete keeps accumulating defeats and retires with frustration, that frustration will haunt him for years, the guy becomes a bitter person

[btc_angela]

Sometimes it's the pride of a boxer that keeps him fighting, he can't admit that he is no longer in his prime and the best days of his fighting is over. So there will be times that he still wanted to box and proved something eventhough he is already in the age wherein he should retire.

So let's see for Donaire, the going thing is that he is being offered another opportunity for the vacate belt so definitely he will take it.

And don't forget that his manager is her wife, so she knows better when to advise his husband to quit for good.

[danherbias07]

Aside from that, I believed we did not see yet the limit of Donaire because Inoue is a big deal. I want to see his performance against an opponent after Inoue and that's the time we can only see if retiring should be an option now for him.

Yeah, correct. I guess his corner can also sum up how far the difference will be when he fights against other boxers.
One last dance, or maybe two or three. He can still come back if he thinks it's a close fight and his game is not yet fading to the extent of deciding to retire earlier. That's why I think this is a good fight for him, it will answer a lot of things.

However, Arum says that he doesn't want to work with Probellum because according to him, it has ties with Irish crime lord Daniel Kinahan, who was sanctioned by the U.S. Department of Treasury. So that makes things complicated again and we don't know if we will see this mandatory fight this year or how will the sanctioning body goes with their number 1 and number 2 contender for the vacate title if their promoters refused to work with each other.

But it's mandatory. Again, this is where I get confused with the rankings of boxers when someone leaves their title hanging.
I mean, shouldn't it be even if Arum doesn't want to work with them, there is no choice but to let it play out? That's what I know when it comes to mandatory fights, their own businesses should be out of the question.

I think him going to 115 lbs as his plan in the beginning is obviously to get another belt under his waist, that's why he is looking for Juan Francisco Estrada as his best ticket for that.

But as we all know, Inoue no longer wants to fight at 118 lbs, so all the plans of Donaire were scratch.

Now he is back at 118 lbs and looking for at least one belt against Moloney, but seems there is a hindrance for that one.

[Fredomago]

Sometimes it's the pride of a boxer that keeps him fighting, he can't admit that he is no longer in his prime and the best days of his fighting is over. So there will be times that he still wanted to box and proved something eventhough he is already in the age wherein he should retire.

So let's see for Donaire, the going thing is that he is being offered another opportunity for the vacate belt so definitely he will take it.

And don't forget that his manager is her wife, so she knows better when to advise his husband to quit for good.

Yup, his handler is his wife so if there's someone who knows the best in terms of physical/health, for sure she, as a partner in real life can say whether Donaire is still fit and he is not risking his health once he accept this fight. The vacant belt will be in a mandatory fight and good thing that Donaire is still one of the top seed to have that opportunity to own the title.

Hopefully, he will win and he will bring another title to the country after losing it to Inoue way back.

No doubt with that.

We can have that pattern from the first time he lost against Inoue and then recalls for a rematch and still lost against the monster. If there's a possibility of a third rematch, only if he just won the 2nd rematch then for sure that there will be the 3rd match to prove on who's actually stronger.

But that has ended that speculation because he lost against the monster. If Donaire is still able to fight, no one can stop him, his body - his rules.

Regarding this potential bout between Donaire and Moloney, here's an article for you guys.

Donaire Sends Notice To Team Moloney On Title Bid

Donaire is making a stand that he is still interested in fighting for the WBC title that Inoue vacated recently. In the same article, Donaire also revealed that his camp and Moloney's aren't yet getting into discussions and that he's waiting for somebody to give him a call so that a bout will soon be happening.

I understand Donaire's urgency because he doesn't have the time in his side as he's already 40 years old, he might be strong and agile in his age but he knows that father time will be catch up to him anytime soon, so he does want a fight already before any of that happens.

[livingfree]

Floating but confirmed official since the conditions were unlocked which is Naoya Inoue moving up a weight.

I believed Donaire should be able to handle Moloney as the former already experienced a difficult fight in his career, which is facing Inoue.

Remember that Donaire is the first one to put Inoue on a verge of losing that's why I'm sure he can handle other boxers in the bantamweight now that Inoue is out of sight and no more tough opponent is left in that division for him.

There is no doubt that Donaire can put up a fight and much better on how he handled Inoue but talking about his performance against Inoue is a different matter and we all knew the result of it.

Now, we're just waiting for the actual announcement for the bout of these two while Inoue is already doing his thing on a higher division that he chosen to be.

Regarding this potential bout between Donaire and Moloney, here's an article for you guys.

In the same article, Donaire also revealed that his camp and Moloney's aren't yet getting into discussions and that he's waiting for somebody to give him a call so that a bout will soon be happening.

I understand Donaire's urgency because he doesn't have the time in his side as he's already 40 years old, he might be strong and agile in his age but he knows that father time will be catch up to him anytime soon, so he does want a fight already before any of that happens.

He wants to happen it as soon as possible but it's still going to depend on how Moloney is going to like and approve it. But with such, we have to wait for the announcement on the development of this possible match.
