    No chance. He's unbeatable at 118 & 122 & 126.

    Donaire is way past his best and a shame to see in such poor physical condition but prime Mike Tyson would struggle to deal with the monster.

    We can detract all we like from Donaire but there isn’t a more avoided fighter around and for me he’s clear P4P x

    Inoue wants Butler next.

    Does Butler survive the first?

    Akhmadaliev is probably the next best hope to beat Inoue but I honestly can’t see anyone below 130 beating him.

    Listen to the sound of Inoue's shots for goodness sake and look what his power does to everyone. They sound like someone swinging a baseball bat against a heavy bag and he's wrecking everyone and taking them out in style with left hand bombs, right hand bombs upstairs and downstairs. He's the hardest puncher in the sport.

    It's very satisfying when an ATG has a tough time and then shellacks the guy in the rematch. I like that.

    Animal. Great display of punch variety. Throws to the head and body, straight and hooked with great technique. Hopefully Donaire calls it a day but there are plenty of winnable fights for him, just not vs this guy.

    Brilliant from Inoue, the power for his size is scary like, hopefully Donaire calls it a day now. Everyone wrote him off after some defeats before, especially after the Frampton loss, went down to super bantam and unified again, then down to bantam again, gives Inoue his toughest fight of his career, wins title and defends it. But i think should call it a day now, he's goning to be 40 soon.

    Inoue is P4P #1 for me.

    One of the best boxers I've seen in 36 years of watching the sport.

    He has weaknesses for sure, but my god his speed, accuracy, power, and footwork is elite. The only way he gets beat maybe is if he goes up to 122 or 126. Nobody is beating him at 118 for years.

    Only thing missing tonight was one of his ripping liver shots.

    Props to both of them.

    Amazing. His skills are undeniable, but I wonder if he'll ever be popular outside of Japan. He might end up being an underrated ATG.
