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

I'm far less confident in picking Inoue than Canelo cause of his fresher, stronger, more skilled and durable opponent, and both having KO power, I think both will box showing respect, getting to an Inoue points win. But sure: Naoya by KO wouldn't surprise me, here's the thing tho: he looks so good on all available tape, but I'm yet to see him face true adversity, hence my lack of confidence vs. someone that great as Donaire.

Noni has the skills, timing, power and chin to check that Inoue D in a division he's not only oversized but UNBEATEN - remember literally putting a dent into Montiel's face? That power was there in his last fight, so if he hurts Inoue early and carries the momentum, why not win a decision vs. a smaller, gun-shy opponent? A competitive fight ending in split draw? I pick Inoue by decision but expect the unexpected, and that's fitting for a WBSS final.

 

Well If Donaire can land a shot to the body or head. I have to see how Inoue reacts. Let's be honest he has never been hit hard flush. We know he can punch and do a lot of Knock outs but what happens when he gets cracked? all champions have to show that heart and chin at some point.

 

Do you guys just hate money or is this a thousand year old tradition meant to **** off the Chinese?

 

Lol.. what?

 

Joking, it just makes more sense from a western point of view to do leisure activities on a weekend.

 

Makes sense. Boxing is these guys occupation, so why not scedule it on workdays like almost every other working person?
Actually seems like we have it all backwards, how 'bout them apples?!

 

I don’t know why but this made me lol
But I don’t think so

 

I know you are joking lol..

 

Wait, so it's on Thursday?
