    Donaire wasn't effective at the higher weight classes where those losses occurred. He was rejuvenated and looked like a monster when he dropped back down to 118. It showed in 5 fights including the first Inoue fight. Narvaez fought to survive, but a comparison can still be made to Inoue's win. Donaire was prime and P4P. Inoue was green and 8-0. Donaire wasn't able to break through. Inoue did. Narvaez wouldn't have been able to survive even if that was his game plan because Inoue left him no option to do so.

    Both fights would have been awesome to watch, BUT...

    Donaire KO Casimero
    Inoue KO Casimero

    Yeah the would have been good, not sure if Donaire knocks Casimero out though, possible but not certain, perhaps Casmiero could have surprised everyone, we will never know now, either way the matchups against both of those guys was missed opportunity for all,

    Casimero has since disappeared after signing with Egas & leaving MP promotions, sad, plus i just saw that Inoue was in the Wild Card Gym yesterday sparring some guy's.

    Felt bad for Reymart when he got knocked out & the guy hasn't even fought since then,

    Careers being very badly mismanaged that's the real sad part.
