Nonito Gonzales Donaire Jr. vs. Riku Masuda & Anthony Olascuaga vs. Jukiya Iimura RBR.

I was just about to write that Donaire is not looking good here.

His corner almost stopped it too.

 

Round 1 - 10-10

Round 3 - 10-9 Masuda Close
Round 4 - 10-9 Donaire Close
Round 5 - 10-9 Masuda
Round 6 - 10-9 Masuda
Round 7 - 10-8 Masuda

Masuda 69-64

Sadly, Donaire looked very old that round. If he loses this fight I hope he retires. If he wins I know he won't retire.

 

Round 1: 10-9 Donaire

Round 6: 10-9 Masuda
Round 7: 10-8 Masuda

67-65 Masuda

 

It's over.

 

Donaire lost a point due to his cornerman, fair to say he needs a KO here now as Masuda is closing strong.

 

Round 1 - 10-10

Round 8 - Donaire's corner throws in the towel. Masuda by TKO

 

Bit of an anticlimactic and sad ending, I wonder if this will be it for Donaire.

 

Donaire now 0-4 in the Land of the Rising Sun.

 

What a damn shame.

 

Wow it was the last fight of Nonito Donaire ?


Solid performance from Riku Masuda, but maybe Donaire have some marks after his fight against Seiya Tsutsumi, far more significant than fans have suggested.

We know that after Nicholas Walters and more with Naoya Inoue, Nonito Donaire is not the same anymore and he is old too.

 

Time for Donaire to retire for good. No reason to keep going and taking this much damage. Please retire Champ.

 

Need to retire hut won’t.

 

Donaire's next stop should be the International Boxing Hall of Fame on the first ballot. Legendary lighter weight great and an absolute joy to watch. Don't want to see him take another punch.

 

Old dog really needs to retire. Cant be taking this much punishment regardless if he looks good or not
