The old dude with the specs was open mouthed

Monster , monster !

What a fighter .

He should’ve unified the lower weights

inoue p4p at 118 may be the best puncher rght now

Donaire should be sh1tting himself.

Let’s be honest, Donaire can try and box Inoue, but Inoue just has power. It’s gonna be a KO.

The final will be something spectacular as they both have a hell of a left hook on them.

Donaire used to be such a beast. Would have been a genuine super fight if the timing was right. But it't not.

Whoa Inoue is a Monster, that power is phenomenal, I rate Rodriguez and thought he would maybe take Inoue some rounds but I'm not shocked, I thought Rodriguez had a good 1st, took the fight to Inoue and exchanged punches successfully, not a wise move though and no surprise Inoue dropped him heavily with that left hook, sickening 1/2 to the body for the second KD and the left downstairs to finish Rodriguez, just class, power accuracy and variety, I love Donaire but I'm afraid he's gonna get hurt bad from Inoue

I wouldn't completely count Donaire out in the final. He's a huge underdog, but he does still have that power and Inoue does like to trade and leaves himself open a bit aswell.

There’s more Japanese fans for Inoue than Scottish fans for Taylor.

See this on twitter the other day, for those like me who hasn't seen enough of Inoue check this out

I think the problem is that no matter what, Donaire just isn't the fighter he was and therefore concessions must be made..

He is tough and still dangerous, but he isn't going to bring what he once had. It takes the edge off.

Great respect from both fighters at the head to head .
Just goes to show no need to act like an arse .
The quality of both fighters will sell the fight , no histrionics needed .
Five years too late for Donaire though .

I'm sure, Donaire won't be able to do that for long.

rodriguez body language after that second kd said everything.

razor sharp is inoue.

Freakishly powerful chap.

This could be a hard fight for Josh

Great away fans the Japanese - who knew ?!

The final will probably be in Japan.

Should be, they know how to put on fights better than anywhere else. Passionate, patriotic fans too.
