    Absolutely Loma has some punch, no doubt but he isn't fazing Manny with that.

    Donaire is taller and he seems to have filled out.
    Inoue looks like he could easily move up in weight. He is really slim and doesn’t carry much muscle at all.

    I think it was a combination of Donaire's height and power that Inoue never really been in with ever in his careeer.

    I mean this guy has fought Mcdonell a tall guy but has zero power.That's why he attacked at will. But he had to be careful with Donyari. I would go even as further and say Payano and Rodriguez, I have always said, don't pose that much of a threat because they are not as fast and powerful as Donaire.

    Moving up in weight I believe will be a real test for Inoue there's some real tough, strong cats at 122.

    Well according to Nonito he only weighed 128 when he fought Burnett down at 118 and all his previous fight night weights that I've been able to find info about indicate he was never one to rehydrate a huge amount of weight regardless of what weight class he was campaigning in.

    'Fighting at 118 for the first time since November 2011---a span of 17 fights--Donaire (39-5, 25 KOs) was poised for power in an evenly contested yet anti-climactic match-up. Donaire was credited with a stoppage win as Burnett (19-1, 9 KOs) retired on his stool between the fourth and fifth rounds, being carried from the arena on a stretcher after reportedly suffering a slipped disc in his lower back while attempting to throw a right hand.

    “With Ryan Burnett, I know I weighed about 128, and I felt good – not heavy or slow at all. We intended to make him feel the power, dominating this fight by switching to boxing on occasion. My power was good, but when I made him miss, he probably pulled something," said Donaire.

    The weights I posted? If so, pretty sure they're all official HBO fight night weights

    Well if Nonito's telling the truth about weighing 128 against Burnett, and I have no reason to believe he isn't, Inoue might actually have been the heavier man on fight night which is kind of bizarre given how much bigger Nonito looks than him lol

    If Inoue is weighing 131 on fight night, 122 shouldnt be too much of an issue for him.

    Maybe 126 eventually, but that'll be his max.

    Hopefully we can see Inoue-Navarette next year sometime.

    What I mean the fighters haven't stripped down to their shorts and stepped on the scale, with an athletic commission person there observing. HBO fight night weights are no more official than Showtime's.

    Japanese folk often have disproportionately large/strong lower legs compared to Caucasians and Africans, iin general.

    Spend some time in the "Japan" section of any porn site and you'll see what I mean.

    Oh yeah Walters. The guy who was supposed to “Chop up Loma doe!” :lol: Yeah you can just see it in Walters shots that he hits harder than Inoue. But Inoue is a very strong puncher.

    Yeah true but that's pretty much all we have to go on and at least it gives us some idea and it's not like they're going to weigh more than their announced weight.

    Can I blame it on you if I get caught doing some research on that?
