Inoue's power is overrated

What the hell are you talking about? Smith had one good moment against Bivol where Bivol recovered in seconds, whereas Donaire ONLY survived the 11th round because the ref stopped Inoue from going after him and gave him a 15 count. Did you even watch that fight?

And Sullivan Barrera who’d been dropped like a dozen times ate Smith’s best punch and got up, Inoue KOd better p4p fighters with a single blow, without needing his skillset.

Another post that’d fit well to the stupidest things casuals said thread.

 

Inoue wears Winning gloves. He has a huge KO ratio while wearing them. That right there says he has power. That being said, if either him or Donaire were wearing a puncher's glove instead, that fight probably ends in stoppage.

Who below 126 has stopped Donaire? He takes a good shot.

 

He KO's guys while wearing Winning gloves. Inoue os definitely a big puncher.

 

Respect to Narvaez who was victorious in 24 world title fights. Let that sink in. He's won two title fights less than Floyd Mayweather. But the version Inoue fought was 39 years old.

 

The concept of P4P is based too much on subjective opinion and possible personal bias and something that can never be proven one way or another. To me you can only prove to be the best in your own weight class and Inoue has proven so far to be the hardest puncher in every weight class he has fought in. I don’t think he or any other fighter can do anymore than that.

 

No one else at bantamweight has hurt Donaire at all, and his only stoppage loss was against a guy who is a big finisher at two weight classes above Inoue's. Inoue is a monsterous puncher at bantamweight.

 

Inoue 's power is not overrated. Didn't you see Donaire getiing knocked down by the body shot in round 11? Inoue could hurt the guy who's bigger than him and who was at his natural weight class.

 

Have it ever occured to you that the reason why Inoue didn't manage to stop Donaire is because the boxer he faced this time is a top quality opposition ?

An elite boxer is always tough to beat, even by other elites. And the match is not really one-sided as people earlier predicted though Inoue was obviously the better side. Look at the bruises in Donaire's face had after the match and Inoue's fractured orbital bone, those are signs of a 'great war' happening.

 

Answer me this, how many fighters in their 4th weight class do you think would be able to survive 10 rounds after breaking their orbital bone plus blood running down their face and knock down their opponent only to be saved from the ref and continue to win the fight?

It’s ok, I’ll wait...
