    Unfortunately for you, Donaire stated after the fight that he came into the fight in the best shape of his life and was the most confident and motivated he had ever been.

    But I bet you have zero problem praising Crawford's opposition when his resume is awful and his best win is a guy that lost every one of his big fights except for Danny Garcia and came into the ring already having decided that he was going to retire after.

    ;)

    This. I also think Inoue fights like a LHW. He relies on power and timing. Which is all you need in the higher weight classes. But hes pretty straight up and down stationary for 118. In the lower weights you need more than timing and power.

    You can stop with that nonsense he wasn't in the best shape of his life nor did he have the best camp. That's fighter's speak. The fact is donaire is old he's not a prime fighter and could've retired 4 years ago. Stop acting like this is 2012 and donaire was prime. A faded donaire in the first fight gave inoue fits and broke his orbital bone What does thst say about inoue??
    Btw Crawford has nothing to do with this. If he goes out and destroys a 39 year old fighter in a rematch I won't be acting like it was the greatest performance of the era like you're doing now with inoue.

    Who do you think had more in their fight, Vlad against Fury or Nonito Against Inoue?

    Pimp, there was an interview on DAZN with Donaire and Ak and Barak. He seemed very lucid, happy, had his wife there with him,
    bottom line is he looked and sounded very good. He said he had a plan for the fight, different from the first fight so he had been training with an idea in mind.

    All that went out the window with the first punch Inoue landed. And we can quote Mike Tyson here about plans.

    Did Donaire "suddenly look old"? Yeah he did but that was due to Inoue's power. Remember Donaire had come off
    a KO winning streak; it's not like he was Jim Jeffries in there. Of course he wasn't "Prime" but I think he was ready.

    No he wasn't shot to pieces. He won two fights in 2021, both over younger guys, both KO's, looked good in both fights.
    Is he "prime" now? Of course not. Could he competitive with most 118 pounders? Yes.

    Problem is Inoue is not "most" 118 pounders.

    What does it say about Inoue? It says that boxing is a dangerous sport and one punch can make all the difference. He got caught EARLY and fought through a broken eye socket with double vision to still win the fight comfortably while an incompetent ref got in his way and allowed Donaire to recuperate. It says Inoue is an absolute monster. Further to my point, Donaire looked sharp in the first round until he got caught w/ the kill shot that he never recovered from.

    It was one of the greatest performances of the era. A rejuvenated Donaire is an active ATG, still a lethal puncher, and he had 2 brutal KOs before and 2 brutal KOs after he fought Inoue. He'd been looking spectacular coming into the rematch.

    Inoue is a stylistic nightmare for Nonito. A rampaging "peak" Nonito couldn't do a single thing with Omar Narvaez. A young and green Inoue with like 7 fights DESTROYED Narvaez. Inoue wrecks any version of Donaire.

    I'm sure he was prepared mentally just like pac was going into his fight with ugas. Father time is undefeated and both of their ages caught up with them on those nights.

    Of course, Wlad against Fury.

    Prime Wlad would knock out Fury.

    I disagree. 30-year-old Donaire wouldn't be down in 1 and out in 2 by a 29-year-old Inoue.

    Both Donaire and Inoue are straight up and down fighters. Kind of stiff. That's why Rigo was able to easily neutralize Donaire.

    True but it's not like he looked like an excavated corpse like Povetkin did in the Whyte rematch where his mechanism was completely gone. He still looked good.

    You could see the gradual decline in Povetkin from fight to fight.

    He was past his best when he fought AJ but that fight took a lot out of him and had diminished more in his next fight against Hughie

    Even more against Hunter and as I said at the time, he was shot to bits after all the punishment he shipped against The Bounty Hunter and that fight was a real war

    He managed to pull a rabbit out of the hat in the first Whyte fight because he's a superb puncher and landed a beautiful shot but you could see he was a mere shadow his former self and he looked like the ghost of an old man in the rematch

    Maybe Nonito comes back and scores a good win or two in his next fight. We'll have to wait and see.

    I'm a donaire fan I don't want to see him take anymore punishment he has nothing left to prove and needs to retire.
