Naoya Inoue vs. Nonito Donaire set for Nov.7 in Saitama, Japan

Seems stupid to have it on a regular Thursday in a 37k arena when they have 2 different national holidays in the same month.

Fujj TV will be the Japanese broadcaster but French TV will also want to have a slice with Oubaali on the card.

Seems odd they don't capitalise and put it on a Friday before a 3 day weekend

 

I am so conflicted with this fight. Really like both fighters. On one hand I'd like to see Inoue look impressive against a credible opponent like Donaire so that way he can make a statement on his elite status, but on the other hand it would be amazing if Donaire actually gets one last big win before retiring since he's had a great career. Why did this fight have to happen??

Hoping Donaire goes out on his shield and at least makes this a war, win or lose. Realistically Inoue should win this but what a miracle it would be if Donaire pulls off an upset.

 

Inoue in 3 or 4 rounds.

 

The Filipino flash the one with the quick feet, sets traps, beautiful and slick. Probably UD or tko 9 Inoue.

The current one the legs is gone, reflexes a second too late just walks down opponents. Gets stopped inside 4 rounds.

 

Naoya 'The Monster Among Men' Inoue
wins
easily

 

No one voted for Donaire so I did. (Shrugs)

 

I can’t see ND beating the man who is 10 years younger and a monster. ND used to struggle to make this weight when he was younger. This weight won’t do him favors now.

Inoue by KO, 7-12. He is like +325 at those odds.

 

What time on the west coast in the US does it come on?

 

They should rename Saitama to One Punch, Japan.

 

Inoue wins by way of K.O. However, Inoue should beware Donaire's right hand. He will wait for a chance to counter Inoue if he is careless.

 

Think he wins in the first 6 or last 6?

 

The latter.

 

Does the weekend start on Thursday in Japan?
