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

[kbackup408]

All 3 judges have Oubaali up (WBC are having open scoring)

[skanksta]

Inoue hurts Oubaali and wins the 5th !

Great comeback, if he can sustain it...

48-46 thru' 5.

All 3 judges have Oubaali up (WBC are having open scoring)

I didn't hear - what were they thru' 4 ?

[littlepug]

Sounds good, jealous I can’t see it !

[skanksta]

Inoue is giving everything to stay in it, Oubaali is cruising.

It's 4-2 with a KD thru' 6.
58-55 NO

[Boxerbeetle]

I forgot to set this to record Keep the updates coming!

[skanksta]

NO in complete control now.

68-64 for me.

Inoue looks like he's gonna go the distance in a valiant losing effort.

[skanksta]

78-73 after 8 and the 3 judges all have it similar.

It's good and competitive but the Frenchman is winning the rounds with a little to spare.


Commentary says, "Inoue one of 17 siblings - yes you heard that right"

[skanksta]

Little Monster wins the 10th with some sharp counter-punching.
NO slowing a little.

97-92 Oubaali.

Christ hope they all boxers

[skanksta]

106-102

Inoue has won the last 2 for me - but it's too little too late.
Oubaali has been coasting since the open scoring was announced after R8.
Inoue needs to win the last with 2 KDs to get any kind of result...

[skanksta]

The Little Monster lets it all hang out in the 12th !

He went for it, hurt Oubaali and almost got a 10-8.

Oubaali 115-112.
An easy win, but you'd fancy Takuma in a rematch.

[skanksta]

one judge agrees 115-112, one goes 120-107 !?

Anyway Oubaali rightly wins, but Inoue will likely improve a lot for the experience.

[MightyWarrior]

How many hangers on in monsters dressing room...? 20 plus.....Bloody hell success really breeds hangers on ...I hope he’s not paying all those bums

[skanksta]

I can't resist The Monster to win by dec @ 10/1.

It's probably a retirement cash-out and The Monster is a monster, but 10/1 ??
@ that price I reckon the Filipino Flash has the quality to last 12...

[MightyWarrior]

In his prime i used to rate Nonito as one of the hardest pound for pound punchers in the world.

[Ruthless-RKO]

[skanksta]

Yeah wusses !
Every bloody Saturday night

[MightyWarrior]

Yeah the flash has a rock for a chin, he might Last in theory.. but Inoue power looks out of this world .....

He could easily win this early. I just hope he doesn’t get caught with a huge bomb by the Filipino

[MightyWarrior]

This step into the light platform malarkey is just bizarre

[Cholo_cws]

Ever since Sky announced they were showing this I keep picturing Adam Smith wearing a kimono. Rather worrying. Glad he's no involvement tonight.
I've backed the fight to go a few rounds at least. Beginning to think maybe I should have put something on that 10/1 Inoue pts.

[Ruthless-RKO]

This step into the light platform malarkey is just bizarre

They’ve always done it for the tournament. Makes it different. Don’t see an issue with it.

[Delta Jay]

How hard is it to say Now-yah?

That MC, Flores, butchered his name on the Payano Card as well, I remember. Nay-oi-yer or something

[Delta Jay]

They’ve always done it for the tournament. Makes it different. Don’t see an issue with it.

Kalle said they’re changing it next season. I think lots of fighters complained about the heat and the waiting times with that stage set up

[MightyWarrior]

I know I just prefer the traditional into the ring with the ring walk music, but this is such a fantastic tournament I don’t care really
