    Honestly... I have a bad feeling about this match for Inoue. Going into the first match, Donaire probably didn't have a hell of a lot of confidence, but as the match progressed, he warmed to the occasion and realized he could not only take the shots of Inoue, but hurt him as well. So now, after his decimating of Oubaali and Gaballo. He's probably coming in with a whole new mindset. So Donaire pulling the upset wouldn't shock me in the slightest. Not because I don't rate Naoya very highly, clearly he's one of my favorite fighters. But this version of Donaire is the best we've seen in years, and he's feeling it too and sometimes when you're in the proper headspace, it can make a world of difference.

    Do you share my weird feeling about the double upset actually being in play, then? :dunno

    Not sure if you've looked much into Daisuke Furuhashi, should be game as hell. His biggest career opportunity by far, so I expect he'll get up for it; meanwhile Takuma very well could be sleeping on him.

    Yeah... I do. I've seen Furuhashi a few times, when doing research for Kirk's league. He's a vicious little SOB.... I've definitely been mulling it over, and kind of leaning in that direction.

    That's what I've been saying Nonito's crazy violent KO of Oubaali. Nonito 3.0 is the best and most dangerous version yet. Seasoned, smarter, patient, just as powerful as ever, and only a tick slower, but better timing due to maturity.

    I'm going to cry if Nonito gets KO'd, if Inoue gets KO'd, if Inoue or Nonito win by KO. I'll even cry if it goes the distance, and they put on another FOTY candidate. So by hook or by crook, my tears will be shed.:sisi1

    I'm going to cry if Rachel Donaire wears anything that isn't low-cut enough to reveal at least 50% of her decolletage at ringside.
