    I'm so glad to eat crow on this one. Still tastes bitter as **** but still a pleasure to be so wrong.

    I'm gonna miss this man when he's gone

    I used to think that it was to his detriment that he fell in love with his power but honestly the last few days of going back and watching all of his fights ...I love his whole....I'm gonna take your ****in head off with anything that's not a jab ,bombs away approach....scored some spectacular ass knockouts .

    On an unrelated note does anyone know the oldest champ in 115?

    We still have nietes. Maybe we could do a trifecta if he managed to beat jerwin, ioka or estrada

    No.

    He would mop the floor w/ Butler and he would clean out 115 if he decided to go down there.

    He has no need to do that. He's proven what type of fighter he is- a great fighter - so he should retire and enjoy his accomplishments.
    He truly was a pleasure to watch over the years and I'm glad I got to witness it.

    It was cool to see Donaire have a bit of a resurgence but I think a 2 round blowout loss should already an indication that its time to leave the sport and not risk anymore injuries. Let him retire with dignity.

    Nonito was certain that Inoue would be tentative and box cautiously, so he pressured him. He wanted to damage that eye again. But Inoue surprised us all by being just as aggressive as he's always been and taking the fight to Nonito. Nonito said that he was going to beat Inoue into submission and ended up getting beaten into submission himself.

    Just got back from Formby beach to watch this absolute destruction...sad times ...

    It wouldn't surprise me if he didn't want to go out in that fashion and has one more farewell fight but that was a pretty thorough brutality there.

    Nonito is still a legend...and lower weight head to head monster.

    Maybe Donaire can have a farewell fight with Rigondeaux in a rematch. Both just coming out of a loss but at least Donaire has a better chance of avenging hiss loss to Rigo who has now slowed down considerably and losing to lower level fighters.
