"....the rematch is going to be even better." that's a very high bar for the rematch to get over, the first fight was exceptional and voted Ring fight of the year.
I'm glad that Top Rank are showing the fight live on their YouTube channel in the UK as I thought UK fans weren't gonna be able to see the fight live.
No matter who wins the rematch and becomes WBC, WBA & IBF champ then the final step to undisputed will be a relatively easy fight against the WBO champ Paul Butler - in other words whoever wins tomorrow will most probably be the undisputed champ by the end of the year.
Very realistic as Donaire and Butler are promoted by Probellum, while Inoue is co-promoted by Top Rank (his US fights) and Teiken Promotions (his Japan fights) and so there are no promotional problems in making the undisputed fight.
