Goddamn this forum doesn't pay attention to boxing anymore... Any chance of old man Donaire pulling this out? Given his power you can't count him out... but I'm not seeing it. Inoue in 5.
donaire is gettin fucked up. looks like for me its gonna be on at 2am thursday morning. im not sure if thats the card start time or just when the last 2 fights are beginning.
Inoue within 3 rounds... Donaire's got a wild card shot but really unlikely... I think Inoue gets him in too much trouble too quickly for it to matter
Inoue is fantastic, but he gets hit quite a bit and against Donaire that might be more of a problem than usually. Even do, safe pick says Inoue in six or even sooner
DAZN's Advertised Start Time to American Audiences is "19:00 ET, Nov 6" from What REED's Seen... REED
Inoue's an Intriguing Watch, But the Only SUSPENSE Here is What Happens if Donaire Lands a Stephon Young "KO of the Year" Quality Shot... Boxing Isn't Known for Treating Aging Lower Weight Fighters Well NOR Does it Usually Work Out for Those Moving DOWN in Weight @ the Tale End of their Careers... Nonito Donaire is BOTH, Matched Against Probably THE Best Fighter in the World, Currently... REED
Yes, The LISTED Date of the Card is "Thursday, November 7th"... In America, "19:00ET, Nov 6" is Thursday, November 7th in Japan...Japan is Like 14 Hours Ahead of the U.S...REED's Only Quoting the Time Listed on the DAZN App... Seems Like it'll Be Shown LIVE Tomorrow Evening in the States... REED
for me it has the inoue fight listed as starting at 2:15am thursday morning. it has the two internet clowns listed as fighting from staples center saturday at 6pm which is the standard west coast start time for PPV.
When somebody only has a puncher's chance it usually means they need a one shot miracle hail mary. Donaire is basically done and Inoue is moving up and making waves. At a minimum I'm hopeful Nonito lands that big one just to see how he copes.
People giving Donaire no shot whatsoever has me a little worried. Inoue has looked like a beast but I still think he’s a bit unproven against top flight competition. Donaire may not be able to handle Inoue’s power but could he outbox him? I give Inoue the edge but wouldn’t be shocked at an upset.
But the guy made it to the finals in an all division tournament. Easy for you to say he should retire.
I agree with Doub. I don't know about "really needs to retire." That's an exaggeration. Donaire is considerably past his prime, but it's not like he's the degree of shot that Holy and Roy were. This would have been the best matchup in the sport if Donaire were in his prime. It might give us some indication of how that matchup would have looked. If Donaire is very competitive, and gives Inoue a tough fight, it'll suggest that a prime Donaire might have won. If Inoue just goes through him like a hot knife through better, then Inuoe was probably better than any version of Donaire. Remember, Donaire has never been stopped by a man his size. Only by the MUCH bigger Nicholas Quitters.
The telecast starts at 5:15 am. Not a problem from me - I work from home, and I'm up at 6 am each day anyway. I'll be tuned in!
I like Donaire but he lucked out in this tournament when Burnett done his back in during their fight and had to retire, and then when he faced a last-minute replacement after Tete injured his shoulder.
None of these guys at 118 can challenge Inoue with their somewhat primitive skills. They're just as good as dead.
