Depends which Donaire shows. The real flash the one that uses his feet and boxing skills that one has a shot. But right now he is a shot boxer and fighting like he just walks forwards trying to land one big shot at a time and gets countered easily. The latter won't last 6 rounds. The flash has a punchers chance. Heart says Donaire. But brain say Inoue! KO 8,
Finally we get to see what level inoue is on. There’s levels to this game and IMO inoue hasn’t even fought a decent B level guy yet, rest of them are C level.
I think Inoue stops Donaire as Donaire has never been that hard to hit specially now, but I would like to see how Inoue reacts to a larger opponent like Nonito with still one of the hardest shots p4p in boxing with that left hook. It will be one of those cases though where Donaire is actually good enough to be used as a measuring stick. For example demarco and Mosquera, previous to that Valero was knocking opponents out inside the first 2 rounds. Demarco actually gave him a fight.
They should have set up this bout sooner when both fighters were still fresh from their recent victories but since it’s in Japan, it will be huge regardless. Foreigners and casuals may not understand but Japan has a huge market for Boxing and this is a superfight over there. Doesnt matter if it’s on Wednesday or Thursday. Inoue is getting a huge cut from TV deals. Im not counting Donaire out. He is more than capable of beating Inoue.
but time and time again we all believe inoue's going to face a tough test payano was meant to take him deeper rodriguez was supposed to do what payano couldn't i'd be surprised if this fight makes it to three rounds
Those guys are really nobodies. They have never come close to the top 10 p4p rankings or even top 30, or beat anyone close to a p4p. Donaire is the first real test. Rigo vs Inoue would also be perfect.
