Dem excuses bruh; inoue exposed for sure now.

Fans like you gotta stop watching the sport. Unfortunately you’re not the only casual with a big mouth you guys are becoming a majority among boxing “fans”.

Inoue and donaire has to be fight of the year. I really thought he was gone say the 9th round when doniare hit him with 2 clean left hooks that landed flush.

I think it was the right hand that hurt Inoue, and a younger Donaire would have finished him. With that said, Inoue showed a lot of heart by coming back and almost stopping Donaire in the 11th.

remember when Donaire put a knuckle dent in Montiel's skull?

Part of what makes a all time great fighter is them being carefully guided along & trying to fight bigger,more difficult opponents as they age. Canelo is the definition of those things,of course he takes fights he knows he can win,but its still far above what anyone else in boxing is doing & hes the only short ass fighter in ages who can remotely say they've been giving up every natural advantage in many fights vs champions & still found a way to win let alone by ko. Canelo has been in more 50/50 fights than anyone basically since the greats of yesteryear. He consistently has racked up tons of champions scalps on his mantle while other fighters fight for vacant belts vs complete unknowns &/or no hopers while saying they would beat so & so & are already in their 30s

Anybody can be great if they got fishnets crafting their careers LMAo

Canelo doesn't have 50/50 fights...if he is in a 50/50 fight that means it will probably go to the judges...in which case he will win or draw 100% of the time.

Life & death but was never hurt & his face looked clean both fights while ggg looked like pumpkin head. & the 2nd fight ggg got walked down & got his ass beat so bad he was backing up all fight & scared to throw anything but arm punches. And during the fight abel sanchez was desperately trying to get ggg to stop btching out but he refused & went into full on btch fit mode instead. Sanchez told him after the 6th "your losing this fight, whispers: "ok?" ggg nods silently".

Ggg was the naturally bigger man than canelo & undefeated but nelo never ceded center of the ring the entire fight & over 2 fights basically battered gs face regardless of fanbois like Lampleys bs claims. Canelo landed every punch in his arsenal over 2 fights & ggg jabbed & arm punched the entire time over almost entirely 2 fights. Canelo is a midget who had fought at jmw basically til ggg.

Canelo will always be in close fights because he doesn't have stamina. Fighters like GGG are taking advantage of those moments when he tires and needs to rest.

In the second fight, if Nelo had stamina, he would have stopped GGG in the second half of the fight when GGG was running on gas fumes because of Canelo's good work.

But Nelo was drained and tired too (not because of GGG but because of his own lack of stamina), which allowed GGG to rally back.

Warriors! Great fight! Speedy recovery.

The guys tough.

I'm not sure, but it should have been a TKO victory for Inoue in the 11th because:

1. The referee stopped Inoue from engaging Donaire after the vicious body punch in the 11th.
2. When Donaire took a knee, the referee gave him a few seconds before starting the count.

Before the fight, I thought Donaire is going to stop Naoya, because the former has been very good at destroying smaller opponents.

I'd take facial cuts over skull dents anyday of the week.
