    I get that... First thing I thought as soon as he went backwards was that Inoue was about to empty his load on him. Problem was Inoue didn't seem to miss with that many either...

    People forget that Inoue was fighting with a broken orbital socket from round 2 last time. I was expecting a better version this time.

    It’s a waste of time though. There has to be a better opponent for Inoue.

    Hope Donaire retires now, he's got absolutely nothing to prove.

    No shame bowing out against a phenom...

    Look for Paul Butler to pull a "what everyone else has done" and avoid Inoue like the plague.

    I wish I knew that before the fight. I wouldn't have given Donaire a shred of chance.

    I'm gonna be that dickhead, but Donaire was nowhere near the required physical ability to compete tonight. Inoue was missing with jabs and landing hooks. He could miss, and still beat Donaire to the punch. That's terminal against Inoue.

    I'm not saying he wasn't impressive, he was, but at 39, Donaire was chanceless i'm afraid, against a puncher who had figured how he moved in 2019. This was in the bag at bell, is what i'm saying, unless Donaire got his hands on some serious drugs :lol:

    Still, Inoue did what he had to and although it was painful to watch, it's a perfect performance once he got the first 90 seconds behind him.

    Hope Donaire bags it.

    Casimero and Butler have absolutely NO chance against Inoue.

    Inoue would knock them both out on the same night.

    Donaire helping the guy whose whole job was walking his concussed self out is a nice capstone to his career.

    Ditto.

    That injury was conveniently airbrushed out by detractors. Winning a fight with a busted orbital against such a high calibre opponent was special in itself...

    Fulton is a slick very good boxer but none of these guys are taking that power and accuracy even up at 122

    If Inoue was wearing those carnival novelty gloves, he'd still KO most fighters.
