    Donaires always a dangerous fighter for anyone, but at age 39 and against a monster like Inoue his chances are slim. Didn’t really want to see this rematch take place to be honest but Donaire is a warrior who is always willing to fight the best and go out on his shield.

    If anyone has a chance to beat Inoue that is Donaire. He is by far hardest puncher that monster could face in the nearest 2 divisions.

    Not to mention that Donaire was fighting higher quality opponents, compare to Inoue.

    I’ve had the luxury to see both fighters fight live in Las Vegas.

    There will be a Trilogy as Donaire takes this Win. Nonito is a very smart fighter.

    He has a punchers chance for sure but Inoue for me is the clear favourite.

    Since the last fight Donaire has only gotten older while Inoue is now in his prime and looks physically bigger than before so I expect another Inoue victory, he maybe even stops Donaire this time.

    Nothing wrong with this fight and maybe I'm being a bit disrespectful to Donaire for not giving him much of a chance.

    Of course he has a chance. That left hook would even give him a chance at 45.
    That's why he's still the #2 at the weight.

    But I predict Inoue by bodyshot KO in 4.

    I've been having beautiful daydreams of Donaire landing a flush left hook followed by a right uppercut and Inoue crumbling to the floor awkwardly for a nap.

    I give Donaire a chance. He’s heavy handed and has seen it all in the fight game. He smashed Inoue’s orbital in their first fight. He shouldn’t be written off. Donaire even at his old age now is Inoue’s toughest test since the last time these two fought.

    You should never write off a fighter like Nonito Donaire.

    Inoue does seem to be getting bigger. He looks quite big for the 118 pound division at this point.
