This content is protected I thought his left hook (to the head or body) was his money punch. Opponents are ****ed.
The man beats a 39 year old granddad and is proclaimed as the ultimate superman of boxing. I didn't see anything special with Donate win.
@CST80 Donaire is shot to pieces, a win against him means nothing. This fight shouldn't have happened in the first place. There's 10 years age gap between the fighters.
A shot to pieces fighter doesn't go the distance with Inoue, and stop Young, Burnett, Gaballo and Oubaali, who are all quality fighters.
An absolutely terrible take. Look at the last few performances of that 39 year old before writing it off as a poor win.
In brutal one-sided fashion, no less. Not wars of attrition where his toughness came through and carried the day.
@CST80 @ConfusedGuy @JOKER Maybe he was good a few years ago, but he looked terrible against Inoue, not because Inoue was very good. Because Donaire is now ancient, I don't think he will win a title again. If he were that good, he wouldn't be knocked down in round 1 and out in round 2. I'm not belittling his past achievements.
He had good wins right before the second fight with Inoue...I don't get why you are talking as if he hasn't done anything good for years? Also do you not rate Patterson? Frazier? Hearns? Getting stopped early in a fight to a great (or in Inoue's case, potentially great) fighter doesn't mean someone isn't good.
Donaire carved out a path of brutal destruction in bookending the first Inoue fight with 4 highlight reel KOs. Inoue showed insane toughness in grit when he battled back and beat Donaire with a broken eye socket from the second round on. He went into kill mode in the rematch and got the results. That Inoue said the rematch wouldn't be dramatic and that he would send Donaire into retirement and doing so not by playing it safe, but being himself, tells you EXACTLY how good he is. Hearns got smoked in 3 rounds or did you forget?
People acting like Nonito was the 38-39 y/o excavated corpse of Gamboa who fought Twink and Haney who'd been shot to bits for years and who was so shot he didn't just look like a different man from his former self he looked like a completely different species
