Gender-fluid Japanese leprechaun Inoue arguably losing in front a packed arena of his adoring fans to a shot to smithereens 45 y/o Nonito whilst he/she was smack bang in the midst of his/her prime.
LOLWHUT — You can't make a case for Donaire winning. At all. The highest praise you could bestow upon Nonito is the he was very competitive after breaking Inoue's eye socket in the second round. Nonito is shot, but he put in a performance for the ages in turning back the clock.
I re-watched it but sans my bias googles this time and I had Nonito winning even though he's shot to bits. When you're going life and death against a shot senior citizen who was schooled by Jessie Magdaleno of all people, comprehensively outpointed by Ireland's most famous garden gnome Frampton (and a way past it one at that) and who was well his way to being on the wrong end of another schooling at the hands of Ryan freaking Burnett then you're far from elite I'm afraid.
Tysons last few fights were pretty humiliating, from the once "baddest man on the planet" to being slumped in the corner beaten against a nobody. Khan against Prescott was pretty bad as well. But Audley against Haye is the most humiliating one I can think of at the moment.
Bro, not even Nonito thought he won. In fact, he even congratulated Inoue and then asked to borrow the Muhammad Ali trophy for a night.
Yes that's obviously because Nonito's a gentleman and he didn't want to come across as a sore loser. Even if you're of the opinion Inoue deserved the decision which I too was the first time I watched it with my bias goggles on, fact is Inoue went life and death against a shot senior citizen in his only venture into elite class and even then that version of Nonito was B - class at best. Watch it again without you bias goggles.
No. I've watched the fight 3X. A Nonito victory is not feasible in the least. You're being too hard on Inoue, though. He had his eye socket shattered in the second round. If that hadn't happen, we would most likely have witnesseda highlight reel KO, which by the way, Inoue was robbed of one with that sickening body shot.
Firstly, I don't believe for a second you've only watched it only three times. In fact, I'd bet my life that you've watched it at least a dozen more times than that this year alone and even then you've still not watched it sans your bias goggles and no one in the history of this forum has a better set of bias goggles than you. He very likely would've got KTFO had he not had his eye socket shattered because he would've been less reluctant to engage. We all saw what happened in round 9 (IIRC) when Nonito nearly sparked him with his weak hand. Inoue was completely gone for a second of two and he had to hold on for dear life like an octopus to avert the KO loss.
Well, put it this way. At least Loma didn't resort to using dirty tactics, constantly ducking, holding on for dear life, fake an injury, and resort to quitting on his stool because he was being toyed with and frustrated. I think that is far more humiliating than losing a very close decision to a veteran pro in his only second fight. Just my take.
SRL vs Duran 2 JCC vs Haugen Hopkins vs Pavlik Calzaghe vs Lacy Rigondeaux vs Donaire, and then ironically Lomachenko vs Rigondeaux Tua vs Ruiz ODLH vs Mayorga Inoue vs Rodriguez
