Nordine Oubaali vs. Nonito Donaire - May 29, 2021

[margaret thatcher]

im pretty sure from everythin ive seeng of mattias that the loss to anyan was a major underperformance rather than an indication of his actual level, he's looked good every other fight and this is his 3rd stoppage over an unbeaten propsect

[margaret thatcher]

these guys about to come to the ring

[margaret thatcher]

nonito wearing a shirt that says stop asian hate

[margaret thatcher]

they both have women in their corner, not sure ive seen that in a male world title fight b4

[margaret thatcher]

round 1: oubaali has a lot of energy, outworking nonito by a significant margin. throwing in combos to only 1 at a time for nonito

nonito mostly having a look.

1-0 for ball

[margaret thatcher]

oubaali a lot quicker and more active, getting off 3-4 shots for 1 of nonito's

[margaret thatcher]

oubaali own!

[margaret thatcher]

down at the bell very heavily!!

10-7 for nonito

oubaali is out of it

[margaret thatcher]

classic nonito left hooks

[ironbeard]

NONITO!!!

What a fantastic night of boxing. Terrific!!

[margaret thatcher]

ouballi down again and stopped in the 4th!

gonna be some controversy about that 2nd kd in the 3rd.....was very close to being after the bell

[margaret thatcher]

come on....do a replay of the 2nd kd....

[margaret thatcher]

yep, oubaali defo got nailed after the bell

[giacomino]

Donaire a legend

[gregregegg]

Donaire vs inoue 2?

Donaire vs inoue 2?

Good fight. Inoue vs winner would be great, even though they are old as time, whoever wins that still has enough (and a belt) to make a big unification.

[margaret thatcher]

i like nonito but this is a bit of a cock sucking party, you can tell they dont want to discuss the bell issue much


so nonito is wbc

rigo-casimero for wbo

then inoue ibf/wba



my guess is nonito gets the rigo-casimero winner. would love to see some more new fights out of this though. so id rather have inoue vs the winner of that, rather than donaire-rigo 2 and then inoue-donaire 2 potentially

[JxhDel.]

Nonito never dies and I could be crying but he cannot replicate these tricks against the other champs, especially with another cagey situation (Burnett injuring himself and now Oubaali taking a KD right after the bell)

[DieHard24]

Bell rings and Nonito throws 2 huge punches. The ref acting like the bell never rang.

the commentators tried to gloss over it too, like i said, i like nonito, but it was all a bit of a donaire jizz fest in there

it was a clear late shot that wasnt thrown until after the bell, we all love nonito, but let's be real, that punch was definitely after the bell, not before or 'on' it

[margaret thatcher]

this fight gives me extra appreciation of inoue's chin, nonito still has some serious whack

Was your solution to give Oubaali more time to recover, I guess….,it can’t be a DQ or points….They are both throwing punches right at and right after the bell…so you can’t penalize Donaire for being the more accurate one.

[margaret thatcher]

here's something i wonder, if 2 fighterrs get in each other's faces and start brawling with each after the bell, and then one gets ktfo, should the guy who ktfo him get the win if the other cant continue even with extra time

[DrDuke]

Donaire is a great warrior. His career is still on the course of resurgence. What a spectacular demolition.
