oh, God no. i love my dogs like family. but i understand the science and culture of most blood sports, including pit dogs. i understand the distorted beauty some see in these spectacles. i detest animal suffering through no fault of their own.
Youth won that fight. Inoue was a step faster and rejuvenated a lot quicker than Donaire. It may have been a different outcome if Donaire was younger.
Styles make fights tho. Just like Rigo struggled badly with Amagasa. And Donaire still has plenty left in the tank, as he showed. Inoue has his flaws but his also has a stellar resume. You can´t knock it down because Donaire, out of all people, gave him a good fight. And fooken A Donaire! He hasn´t looked this good in quite some time. I have been giving him all kinds of **** for years now, mainly due to him focusing so much on his power. I swear, once he moved up to 122, it was all about landing that one big shot. Most times it seemed like Donaire had no gameplan to speak of. Took the George Foreman approach which led to bad losses and pointless slugfests. But Donaire seemed to have taken a step back. He boxed rather well. I hope we get to see more of him soon. I think he still has a lot to offer.
i'd argue that in order for the little dudes to prove their p4p worth they have to be more inclined to prove themselves at multiple divisions than do the boxers in weight divisions that fall within the ranges of average sized men. the talent pool is far deeper around the ranges of welter to LHW. light flys are 108lbs. i weighed that when i was 12.
fair enough. i know it's not a foregone conclusion that he will win but I fully expect him to beat Dmitry Bivol next year and unify, then hopefully we get a super fight with Canelo. if he wins either or both of those fights he definitely belongs in the top 5.
