    Fingers crossed this happens. 2021 was a very tepid year for Inoue, let's hope he starts 2022 with a bang. Should be another entertaining and competitive fight. But I think Inoue this time stops him late.

    I have a bad feeling about this match, not sure what I'm feeling though. I'm caught somewhere between a reinvigorated Donaire pulling a shocking violent upset, or Inoue brutally ending Donaire's career.

    This fight makes me nervous. Nonito has been a lights out highlight reel KO machine ever since he dropped back down to 118.

    FInally a fight to challenge Naoya! Apart from the moloney win, he hasnt really wowed me again. In fact i was disappointed that he took 8 rounds to beat Dipaen. This will definitely be an exciting bout!

    Id also like to see Inoue vs Rigo.

    I don't know. Donaire is really good right now.

    And Inoue has fought two low level opponents after Moloney fight

    Donaire will win this.

    Because Rachel told him to. There is no greater motivation than to do what it takes to get the miso off your back.

    I would have rather either guy dealt with Casimero first. But other than that this should be a fun explosive fight and Donaire looks really motivated to win big this time around after beating 2 undefeated fighters back to back. Part of me wants Inoue to win so he can go on and beat the top dogs of Super Bantamweight but I can't help but root for Donaire since he's such a warrior. Love both guys and they are a great representation of the sport. May the best man win.

    I think it's the latter not the former. All praise to Nonito and his career, he gets stopped this time.

    Niiiiiiice.

    Although I think Inoue sends Nonito into a well deserved retirement this time.

    Yep.

    I honestly think that Nonito will KO him and retire.

    I don't think this was needed TBF..great fight but the first was pretty conclusive..Donaire fought out of his skin to hang with him and fought valiantly...he's late career resurgence not withstanding..he hasn't been at his peak for along time now and o don't think he can match or better his initial effort.

    I'd have rather watched him flatten casimero


    Nevertheless..Donaire is still in my top 3 favourite fighters n I will be cheering him on and will no doubt drop money on him winning by ko

    Nonito's gloves were defective, so they went with the Winning gloves. Had nothing to do with Inoue.

    Yeah, that's the thing. Nonito landed the best three punches he could have on Inoue and couldn't get him out of there or drop him. Inoue did win comfortably even with compromised vision from the 2nd round on.

    I've still got a bad feeling, though.
