    Inoue has a pretty good chin. Clearly the smaller guy, Inoue showed great skill.

    Round 12

    Donaire is moving counter-clockwise, staring at Inoue through swollen eyelids, guard formed up high & tight, jabbing to fortify his position. Donaire tumbles onto the canvas, sheer exhaustion, not a knockdown, sort of a weird somersault almost sideways, legs are starting to go. Inoue hurtling in and slashing at the body with both hands, an easier target. Donaire pushing his punches, very arm-weary, the right hand coming nowhere close to landing, but some of his counter jabs scoring, enough to keep Inoue honest and continue to draw a trickle of blood from his nose. Donaire finishes the round actually coming forward, Inoue on his bike taking a breather in the final twenty seconds.

    10-9 Inoue

    118-109 Inoue

    Donaire seeing the final bell, did bring a few tears to the corner of my eyes. Absolutely beautiful.:clap:

    Brilliant fight.
    Like to see that count again though. Seemed to get to 10 and then let him get up

    Even though the fight was amazing I feel like the ref goofed up and robbed him of a stoppage.

    99.99% of fighters will never show a tenth as much heart as Donaire in closing out the championship rounds.

    Donaire was absorbing body shots like nobody's business all night.
