WBSS Bantamweight Final: Naoya Inoue vs. Nonito Donaire - November 7, 2019

[Ruthless-RKO]

It’s all set. All we need is a date and venue.

[DrDuke]

Inoue by KO. Donaire is classy and experienced, but he's past it. Inoue can deliver and he will.

Whack it in the Tokyo Dome in September!

Ohh fück yeh..

[dagilechia]

Inoue KO1, he really is MONSTER, one of my favourite fighters!!!

[jamamb]

lol with how lucky nonitos been fate will find a way for him to win

[dagilechia]

if he will go up with weight, i would love to see Lomachenko vs Inoue at Super Featherweight

[SenorPipino]

Donaire better come up with some sort of semi-permanent injury that will render him unable to compete in the finals.

He's too old to be another victim of the Monster.

its possible that inoue is the top p4p puncher today, i hadnt been thinking anyone topped wilder, but no one else is destroying higher level opponents so consistently quickly

P4P biggest hitters. Wilder and Inoue are definitely up there. Like you said, Inoue is fighting better opponents. P

Well I was almost right... Seems like the OTHER dome is favoured, the Osaka dome

would reeg vs taylor happen in japan too, for a fight that compeetively matched a neutral venue would be good

[Ruthless-RKO]

“He came in here and did what he needed to do,” Donaire stated in joining Inoue in the ring shortly after Saturday’s bout, which streamed live on DAZN. “This is the moment we’ve been waiting for. We both felt it was our destiny and this is what boxing is all about—the best fighting the best.”

“He’s ‘The Monster,’” Donaire quipped, lending credence to Inoue’s ring moniker. “He has great power, great intelligence and figuring out how to beat him makes me feel like I’m 21 again—this is what excites me.”

I’d expect them to want both finals headlining their own shows. But I do agree. The Taylor vs. Prog fight can’t be in Scotland. Neutral would be best.

Hopefully it doesn’t go to the cards. Taylor probably has the power to drop Prog, who knows, but maybe not to stop him.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Quick stat Kalle Sauerland picked up on.

Inoue’s total fight time in the tournament is now 5 minutes and 29 seconds, and neither Payano or Rodriguez had ever been dropped before.

Inoue CAN win this tournament in 10 minutes!!

What would be amazing!

[pizzakid13]

Donaire is in big trouble here. He was getting schooled by Burnett before the injury.

[punchoutsb]

Inoue in 4.

Knowing WBSS it’ll be in Saudi or bizarre destination - it’s whoever stumps up the cash like Smith/Groves in Jeddah.

[Best Coast]

When Nonito was in his prime it would have been a great fight but Donaire is well past it now. Inoue by KO!!

[JCS]

Schooled? That was a pretty even fight..

[3132DW]

Schooled? That was a pretty even fight..

Agree...Donire was causing him some serious issues.

I thought after Frampton he was done....but he’s re-invented himself at lower weight again.

[jamamb]

donaire was 'in' the rounds but clearly losing before burnetts injury , i agreed with the two shutout before tthe injury cards but can see the 2--1 as well

[pizzakid13]

Schooled? That was a pretty even fight..

Yeah
He was getting tagged consistently.
