It's probably not McDonnell, but I voted for it anyways. I hyped up Inoue to a friend and we stayed up to watch them fight. He will miss a fight like Usyk Joshua 2, but won't miss Inoue fighting. This content is protected Timestamped.
100%, I have been saying this. If you equalized their power, I would take Inoue by wide UD. Inoue is way faster and more skilled. His power is straight up insane in reality though, so he will blitz Fulton with little difficulty.
Yeah, Inoue's power looks completely other worldly here. I have never seen anybody with that power. Anybody who is picking Fulton needs to watch this and the Donaire 2 fight.
Inoue vs McDonnell should be mandatory watching for all people signing up for ESB. I keep rewatching it, his power is ridiculous. For some reason I just kind of saw it as a typical KO 1 originally and didn't put much thought into it.
His best performance was the first Nonito Donaire fight. You never know about a man until he faces adversity and he certainly did in this fight. Physically he is great in most of his fights but this is the fight that showed his heart, grit, courage and determination. These are the traits that move a fighter beyond champion and into the realm of legend.
Jaime Mcdonell? You gotta kiddin. That guy is a bum. I would have to go with Nonaire. Donito was a world class boxer for a long time. Proven and so a cut above the rest on his resume. Also Narvaez was a long reigning world champion. Unfortunately they were ancient when Inoue got them. Being nearly 40 respectively. Which is old AF in lower weighters.
Inoue was 7-0 when he fought Narvaez. Narvaez was a tricky and seasoned veteran and his lone loss was to a much bigger Nonito. And he didn't take any damage because he neutralized Nonito. The blowout was crazy and had nothing to do with age. Most guys today don't fight anyone with a pulse until they've had close to 20 or more fights. Inoue had already fought and beaten Taguchi and Hernandez.
Lemme check you 1,2 ,1,2, mic check. When Inoue truns 40'sh and has been in the game for 2 decades. Many ware and tare.I don't wanna see you come on hurr and make excuses.
So why couldn't prime Nonito KO or do anything to 2 years younger Narvaez? And again, Inoue was 7-0 and just starting out, so he wasn't even prime.
