    Agree with @Badbot above.

    Monster has the thudding power, like a mini Foreman.
    Donaire's KO's were as much about the speed and timing of the shot as the power. He tagged guys with big shots when they simply couldn't react.

    Go and try that on a heavy bag. Then come back and say how unimpressive it was.
    The opponent was weak, that was a given. He was stupid to just stand there while Donaire was bouncing around him.
    But the move itself was impressive. And it also showed how stupidly powerful Donaire was. He basically slapped the smaller man and he folded.

    Leaping uppercut on a smaller guy not impressive. Check Inoue latest. No need for that leaping bouncing BS! Just aim and fire.

    That´s not the point I was making. I said Donaire was the more explosive athlete. That's why i posted the video.
    Inoue IMO is the superior puncher. He has that raw power. Donaire relied on precision and speed.

    Nonito his very hard but the only fighter below CW who can match Inoue for power is Beterbiev. I actually have Inoue beating everyone from 118-168 with the exception of Loma and there are only 2 or 3 among them that even stand a chance of making it to the final bell against him.

    Donaire was an explosive puncher in his prime but I actually think Inoue hits harder P4P. He has the better timing, accuracy, and deadly power with both hands, wheras Donaire mostly had the left hook.

    Insane. Dude wasn't even warmed up yet.

    But I don't like Inoue's celebrations post KD/KO, though.
