    I got Inoue by knockout. I like both fighters though, so will probbaly be happy with any outcome barring controversy.

    I love Donaire and I love Naoya, I really want this to be competitive and a fight of the year type candidate, so Donaire can go out in a war like Wlad did, as a legend in losing. But sadly, I doubt it'll last all that long. I think Nonito will definitely be his toughest test to date, and if he isn't careful could walk onto something big, but I think Naoya will probably take him out with relative ease, and stop him in 6. His power at Bantamweight is terrifyingly superhuman.

    Donaire who knocked out Darchinyen could be the serious threat to Inoue, but he is past his prime now. Inoue beats Donaire by the late stoppage.

    Odd to have a Thursday when there's 2 national holiday Mondays in the months and they'll be looking for TV money from Europe and the US.

    Saitama is the only venue, really, in Tokyo that could have held it other than the Big Egg... Shame it didn't land in Osaka as first rumoured

    I wouldn't count Donaire out in this fight. It's not like he is a grandpa and even Pacman was able to beat Thurman at almost 41 years old.
    Donaire has a fighting chance if he can prepare properly and use his ring experience like Pacquiao did. He still got that Left hook hidden there somewhere.

    An SD for Donaire isn't impossible. Besides, there were lots of big upsets that happened this year alone i.e. AJ-Ruiz, Rungvisai-Estrada, Pascal-Browne that were almost impossible on paper/records.
    Anything can happen in Boxing....

    They will have finished the tournament in 12 months, how can you complain?

    Showtime's Super Six took 3 years(they did have more fighter, but still...).

    If the fighters have a problem with it why shouldn't I? Donaire last fought in April. Inoue in May. Their fight should have been scheduled for this month or September at the latest.

    It definitely has been slow, but still, 3 fights in 12 months is pretty damn good.

    Donaire will have a big size advantage, but I still see Inoue stopping him.
