One of the things that most excites me about this boxer is that he is when it comes to challenges, rematches, and above all when there is a belt or something similar, well, he assumes it and prepares himself with more intensity, perhaps the fact of being a A very disciplined person and that is what marks him out compared to others, I want to see this fight and see what kind of strategy Tapales will use, but where I went, my strategy was to be on the defensive, make him get tired and counterattack, because the truth is I can't think of any strategy against him, because he really is a boxer who can quickly read the other boxer's plan, and I think that is also the intelligence he uses, and that is quite difficult for some, For me, boxing is 80% intelligence and 20% effort with the body, however, what you train the most is your body to resist the blows that you are going to receive.
It is the advantage of Inoue. He anticipates his opponent's strategy and adjusts things at the right timing.
If he sees that he can absorb his opponent's attack, then expect him to be more aggressive. I used to remember the first fight against
Donaire where after being almost taken down.
When he manages to get up and compose his self, that the time he really become aggressive and really attacks the most, then
he earned that fight a win.
The first fight against Donaire, it was the last time that we have seen Inoue almost lost the fight. It was a hard fought give and take and he absorbs all what Donaire can bring to the point that he suffered a broken orbital bone and yet he pushes for the fight and win it.
But there are fans or even boxers who thought that Inoue lost that fight. If I'm not mistaken, Roy Jones Jr was one of them. I remember as well though, that Jone is a big fan of Donaire so he might be biased on that.
I think that is why a rematch has took place and that is to end all the issues once and for all, eventually, it was a 2-0 in favor of Inoue and Donaire haven't even had the chance to rally back and regain a momentum because he didn't anticipated the fact that he will face a much stronger and unpredictable Inoue who finished their fight in just like a whim. Although years have passed before their rematch but it's all the same to me, Donaire's good but his years are already over.
It's a shame that Donaire is a boxer that he didn't appreciate as he was, it's also that when compared to Inoue's career it's not anything, it's known that Inoue is literally a Monster when fighting, and he's also very very intelligent. So an Inoue with a Donaire is a big advantage, really, and I would think that right now Inoue is at a level of boxing where he can beat any boxer who comes his way, of course I say this because of what he has been demonstrating at all times. Personally, for me, Inoue cannot be compared to Donaire. Regarding Donaire, I think he needs to train a lot. I'm not saying because of his age, I'm saying it because of him, because of the things he can develop, as I have said on many occasions. , I am one of those who think that a boxer wins his fights at the time of his training, and if the training is stronger, more intense than that of the other boxer, then he will win, otherwise I believe that in a fight, unless If something extraordinary happens to the other person, they can win, but that rarely happens.
It's not really a shame because Donaire has proved enough in the industry of what he can do, he achieved enough that Manny Pacquiao himself trusted and passed the torch to him to make the Filipinos proud, and as a Filipino, I'm proud of what he has become but when it comes to reality, it's hard to argue that Donaire is already in the sunset of his career while Inoue is still at his sunrise.
We can say that age might not be a factor but that is not really the case because let's not forget that Donaire is already at his 40s and it's hard to say really that he still have the power and speed to keep up with the guys who are still on the height of their prime like Naoya Inoue.
Well, it should be noted that first of all, greetings to the people of the Philippines and yes, there is something that I admire a lot about the Filipinos, it is the material they have to train boxers like them, but it is not that I am entering a casino, not at all, but you must understand. something, to measure up to one of the greats like Inoue, he must be training already and very hard, I believe a lot in the abilities of boxers who are old, who are mature and who can obviously make the difference and get ahead of the They are very young, because they have something I already know like experience, which is why I know that when we see that there are boxers like Inoue who have shown many things, leaving all their titles just to move to the category they are in, I think that not everyone does that, and obviously it is not that Nnonito is a bad boxer, no, he is a boxer who is there and still has a lot to give, but when I make the comparison with one Inoue, with great respect I say that ' {He must train a lot to be able to face him, just like Tyson did, he was the undisputed heavyweight champion and he never gave up on his training, every day he trained as if he were going to fight someone, but why? In order not to lose shape, at the time when a fight came up, he was already very prepared.
So when he had a pending fight, he increased the level of his training, that is, that man began to train so hard that in order to have that body he could resist it, which is why he now suffers a lot from Sciatic Nerve, because his effort was far above what his body could withstand, that is what I mean by Nonito, he can be like that, in fact Filipinos have a special DNA for boxing, they are people who They have that natural talent, so the talent + training because they make super boxers, that's what Inoue does, that's why he's doing so well.
Every boxer is different mate, we can say that Filipinos got a different DNA to somehow keep up in the boxing industry and maintain their status while they are on the upper side and that is true, but we shouldn't forget the fact that it is somehow easy to become a champion but maintaining that same status while also leveling up is already on another level. What I'm trying to say is that everyone can dream to be a boxer but only few selected ones are born to be a star in the mentioned sports. Donaire, Pacquiao, Naoya and the guys you've mentioned are born for it because if they don't, no matter how they persevere, they will always have a limit unlike these stars.
It is like this, we as fans or as people who have practiced the sport in some way, we might think that things are quite strong when we make comparisons, of course there are very good boxers who are from the USA, from Mexico, but there are times when for To be boxers we need to have a special DNA, because you can't do it with heart alone, sometimes someone who just wants to be a boxer and doesn't have the guts, the resistance, can simply die, but I say about the Filipinos because I have given myself I think things are quite obvious, they are very good at boxing, besides it is similar to saying like soccer for Brazilians, or that a person is born to do X thing, there will always be people with more talent than others or who person who does not possess the talent, obviously they work to equal those who find it easier. but I think something more like a Filipino like these is the level of Pacquiao and Nonito, whenever I talk about Nonito it is worth highlighting that it is under a lot of respect, because I know what the trajectory of this boxer is and that he obviously has a lot to prove, if there is something What I have always said is that a boxer's age is only the number, it is not a determining factor in it, just as it is in football for some athletes even though they have been legendary, this happens a lot in football in certain parts of Europe.
In the case of boxers, it is worth noting that I think that the older they are, the more experience they have and the more they know their body and where they can go, they are more calculating boxers and can do anything by managing their times, this is extremely important, because the difference with There are novices who think that they can do any feat, yes, they can not be afraid of anyone, not even anyone who has had extensive experience, because this can be counterproductive so that they can persuade them what they can do, that is why a boxer with more experience they are like more dangerous than anyone else.
