Inoue is great but we shouldn't forget that Donaire is ancient especially by the usual standards of the lighter weight divisions. This would have been a fantasy fight if we had a 10 years younger Donaire.

Another awesome display from Inoue. Where does this place him in the P4P list? At the top for me. Leaving his unquestionable ring IQ, boxing ability and toughness aside for a moment, is there anyone who's as destructive?

I just rewatched that fight. Inoue destroyed Donaire I don’t think there was enough time to say Donaire lost because he was too old. He just got a hellacious shellacking from the Monster!

Maybe if Donaire lands a couple more shots early we’re looking at a longer fight where Inoue is a little more circumspect and going bombs away, but Donaire was blitzed, battered and blasted in the second round. Not a chance. Seems the refs were quicker at stopping the fights than in the US. Good thing for Donaire.
