    Man I had Donaire beating Magdaleno! It was Donaire's last fight with Arum. Ppl in the Rbr had Donaire winning too.

    Are you serious? lol, it was a competitive but clear win by the fruitcake Magdaleno. That just shows how shot Donarie is. I said this since day 1 and I'll stay consistent, I wanted to see a Tete/Inoue final because to me the Donaire fight doesn't add much to Inoue's resume. I wanted Rodriguez and Tete's on his as a huge Inoue fan.

    I lol'd at fruitcake. I agree Donaire is shot, probably 70% compared to prime Donaire.
    You think Donaire is going to get blasted out pike the Nicholas Walters fight?

    Not even 70%. A 70% Donarie would have blasted that fruitcake out in 3 rounds. I don't know if Inoue blasts him out like the Walters fight. Walters was a lot bigger than Donaire, and Donaire is bigger than Inoue. Donaire has a good ass chin too, but he looked so open in his last fight so I think a safe bet is a KO.

    GGG is the only current fighter below 175 who could possibly last the full 12 round distance with Inoue and he'd take such a savage beating he'd never be the same again. Clenelo doesn't see the second half of the fight against Inoue and I'm being deadly serious about that.

    He's a beast but he was dropped by Gavril albeit it might have been a balance issue and Inoue hits a heck of a lot harder than him. It would be a really entertaining scrap for as long as it lasted but I'm leaning more towards a championship rounds stoppage for Inoue.

    He was briefly fighting in Bantamweight too, but he found his success in Super Flyweight. Inoue is also from Super Flyweight as well.
