    End Nery´s career. A little clause in contract, make 118 or no fight and Nery pays a 100 billion $ penalty..

    Likely returns April 25th in Las Vegas on a Top Rank card as the headliner.
    Oubaali and Casimero have been lined up while Michael Dasmarinas is the mandatory to Inoue´s IBF belt.

    Neither would Nery, Donaire would flatten Nery's ass in a round or two. I say that as someone who picked Nery to beat Yamanaka, before anyone had ever heard of him. I actually consider myself a fan. But put it this way, people who are really good at throwing counter hooks are his mortal enemy.

    Nobody expected for Donaire to last more than 3 rounds against the"monster" , imo his power is overrated at this weight, it will be hard for him to beat a young elite especially since we don't know how that eye will hold? Remember Brook ?

    I did, I even warned people on the RBR the Donaire was going to be a far tougher test than they thought. I also predicted Donaire would be in the finals. Nonito went 12 rounds with a massive puncher like Rigondeaux in his prime, KOing him is not an easy feat for anyone. Especially a revitalized far sharper version in his natural weight class.

    As far as the eye thing goes, that was Brook's other eye remember? Thus far they've both held up in his subsequent matches. I'm not worried.

    Inoue hasn't really fought a puncher in their prime that can do damage to him. Actually like to see Nery in there. I mean of course Inoue proabably stops nery.But with no VADA involved anything can happen.

    Hes not a big 118, so I dont see him jumping up soon.

    Theres fights for him at 118, such as Oubali and Casimero.

    A megafight against Navarette can be built for down the line.
