And now he is thinking to go down in weight and chase more challenges and see if he can still fight the best of them.

Who's going down in weight? Donaire? I think that's a bad idea, I believe the best thing to do is to officially retire as he had proven himself already, but if he is still chasing the money, of course, he will use his popularity and will continue fighting.

Yes, thanks for letting me remember that. But still, he can also be part of the selection process and ask the promoter and organizer if it's possible to fight with his pick.

As for cherry picking, it will still be a hit for his match as everyone is waiting for his retrieval from the last lost that he has made. I'm sure that many fans of him will still watch whether it's from the organizer or his pick.

I guess there is no need for Donaire to do some cherry picking in the said division because I bet he can manage just fine even the champions in that division, he chose to fight in super-flyweight next so that means that he is confident enough that he can defeat those guys. He really knew that he cannot defeat the current Inoue now, so much better to do some cleaning in the lower weight class for now.

I just hope that he have learned the lesson that being overconfident is also dangerous. But yes, despite that he's aware of who can he beat and win.

It's better for him to have that emotion set at the normal setting so that it won't overwhelm him when he's on another match whether it will be from a lower division fighter or of the same.

I'm not sure if Donaire is overconfident though, yes, he has lost the first fight against Inoue, so if someone will be overconfident it should be Inoue.

Nevertheless, he didn't, he uses his speed and Donaire can't cope up with that and of course the power.

And now he is thinking to go down in weight and chase more challenges and see if he can still fight the best of them.

Who? Donaire? I don't really think that he have that kind of attitude where goes being overconfident to his foe because of his capabilities, we know Donaire's attitude towards Inoue though but none of it shouts that he's overconfident.

Even us didn't really expected that Inoue will evolve that much because we think that they will still have a long 12-round fight where there will be a long blow-by-blow punches all the way to the 12th round. But Inoue finished Donaire in just 2 rounds with a stoppage.

After watching the rematch of Donaire vs Naoya Inoue, you can see that Donaire no longer has his main advantage - speed and simply does not have time to react to enemy attacks, age still affects, and by moving to a heavier weight category, he also risks his health

We can say that a boxer who aged will definitely lost their speed first, that's what happen to Roy Jones Jr, in his prime, damn, Roy was one of the fastest if not the fastest boxer I have seen. Not only fast but has power behind it. Same with Manny Pacquiao, we've seen that he has deteriorate in the years after being knock out my Marquez. Yes he won some fights after that, but the he was a tad slower. Same with Donaire, and then he fought a version of Inoue which is on the prime years of his career, so it's hard to beat that combination, young and power and speed.

I'm surprised he's on welterweight division, it's a same division with Crawford and Spence, but this boxer never want to challenge a world champion. He's not really cherry pick his opponent since his opponent also have a good record, I think he's more focus about his record rather than making his name bigger by getting a belt. It's the first time I hear his name, maybe he wanted to get the belt when Crawford vs Spence have happened, so he will likely join the vacant belt.

But his last fight, a comeback fight was a cherry pick right? he fight someone who doesn't have good KO record, but he gave Vergil everything he had, but unfortunately, his corner throw in the towel. Not sure if he is injured or something or the body shot really took the toll on him. Nevertheless, Golden Boy really needs to step the plate for their fighter and give them championship fight to see how good Vergil is or just another hype fighter.

I do think it is but his opponent is not a bad fighter. It was cherry-picked probably because Egidijus Kavaliauskas lost by TKO when he fight Terence Crawford. But despite that, the guy's record is quite impressive with 21 wins 1 loss wherein 18 is by the way of KO before they fight. So this guy has the punching power to KO his opponent. It is that Vergil Ortiz Jr. is way better. And not being popular doesn't mean the fighter is trash. Pacquiao was unpopular on the other side of the world before he fights Ledwaba.

Hmm, I'm not sure if we are in the same page, Vergil last opponent was Michael McKinson, you can look at his boxrec here:

https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/697918.

The guy has 8.7% knock out ratio, so not sure where you get the numbers of 18 wins by KO?

So he has no punching power whatsoever, it was evident in the fight, what McKinson has is that he has a big heart in the ring that despite he was being down by a body shot and he seems to have injured himself, he keeps on fighting until his corner stop it.

So it is really a great decision to move to a lower division after all this could ensure his goal of getting his 5th division title, and I really don't want to dishearten Donaire but I think it is not over for him to challenge Naoya Inoue anymore back on their 1st match I think he got lucky in getting the fight the distance, and on their 2nd match truly Naoya Inoue is on another level, with his speed and power, that is why I am not recommending him a rematch against Naoya,

Quote from: jossiel on August 10, 2022, 05:24:34 PM

That's true.

If he's going to pick his next opponent, he has to be sure and eager that he know that his opponent is easy and he'll win. It could be wrong for the others to have this mentality.

But this is boxing and that's how it goes when they're having a match because they have to think positively just as what he have thought regarding his fight against Inoue.

Well, the mentality is not right but it is really acceptable, right now Nonito Donaire is the only one that knows his limitation and I could be wrong saying that he can not have a chance anymore against Naoya, but If he has a plan, and surely he fought and seen Naoya's strength for himself and by saying that he wants a rematch against him but not now, I think he is not just saying it with just an intention to look cool, but all I am saying is speculation it is either he is just saying that to look cool, but his real intention was to stay in a lower division, or he is saying what he really wants and will have a plan on their next rematch,

That's not how it works. If Nonito Donaire will pick his opponents, the promoter and organizers will have to agree with it too.

If he's just cherry-picking easy opponents, that's not worth watching and promoters will think that's not a good fight to organize.

Donaire should just agree to whoever opponents he will face. At the point of this career, there should be no picking or selecting who he wants as he's starting from the bottom bracket now. Besides, I think he won't have a big problem facing top boxers in Flyweight or Super Flyweight Division that's why no need to be picky of his opponents in that division.

His decision to go down is his eagerness to retire as a champion, no boxer or a champion with a great legacy behind him will retire with that kind of knock out, a boxer will always be remembered for his last fight so he is giving himself another shot on the title so he can retire in grace, he really has nothing to prove anymore he just want a graceful and well remembered exit.

He can match with other boxers that he haven't taken yet and I guess that's where he should focused first before aiming for someone like Inoue again.

A rematch with Inoue is not even close to happening. The time Nonito Donaire will take a shot again at the Bantamweight title, Inoue might be at the point now where he challenges boxers in a much upper-weight division (probably at 122 lbs up) which is possibly his next task if he will become an undisputed champion on the bantamweight.

That is a huge possibility, despite that possibility, I am still wondering if the Inoue and Casimero fight happened, who would have won? Is there a chance for Casimero to win that fight? I heard from some Youtube blogger that Donaire is evading Casimero because the latter has a huge possibility to beat Donaire.

Well, maybe that blogger was right that Casimero has a high chance to defeat Donaire than the other way around, I mean we saw Donaire's recent performance and we can really say that he ain't that much of the Filipino Flash anymore that we used to know. And I think going down in Super Flyweight division will be a good start for Donaire before he retires soon.

I think Donaire can still beat any at bantamweight, not name Inoue. Naoya is too much for this weight division, he is really above and elite on this level. As far as Casimero vs Donaire, it will still be a toss-up, 50/50 in my opinion. Casimero most of the time is reckless and we all see how Donaire counter is, if he perfectly caught Casimero coming in, then I wouldn't be surprised to see him getting knock out by Donaire. However, this is a foregone conclusion for now, Donaire wants to go down in weight, while we don't know what will be Casimero plan in his career.

Yes, Donaire can still defeat any boxer in the bantamweight division but he will still end up facing Inoue because the latter has 3 belts in the said division and he might be an undisputed boxer this year if he will get a fight against Paul Butler. So, Donaire needed to go down in weight if he wanted to be a champion again and defeat boxers along the way.
And about Casimero, I really don't know what is his plan because he's been silent for some months now but maybe he will pursue his career in the upper weight class and might bump into Inoue if the latter will also climb the same division to collect some belts too.

I think Donaire will climb back in the bantamweight division if he can manage to defeat few champions at 115 lbs., correct me if I'm wrong here but I think he said that he will challenge Inoue again soon but for now he'll settle for quite some time in super fly.

In Casimero's case, I also don't think that he will do some fights again in the bantam weight because he will just struggle again cutting his weight, might be good for him to climb in super-bantamweight though.

Yes, right? Donaire is not that agile anymore to react and move quickly but he is still strong and capable to deliver knockout victories, which I don't doubt about him but this time there's a catch because he needs to find that correct phase and timing to give that knockout shot.

Also, we can see that Inoue has turned out to be a different monster, it's so different that Donaire himself didn't anticipated that because the new version of Inoue is much more agile than his prime years and much more stronger to be a heavy hitter in the bantamweight division.

We don't know about that.

Many will have just to agree with him whatever he thinks is best for him. He can have another match if he want to but it's not anymore with Inoue.

He can match with other boxers that he haven't taken yet and I guess that's where he should focused first before aiming for someone like Inoue again.

Well, right now Nonito Donaire is really focused on getting his 5th division belt, and after that a rematch for Naoya Inoue, he surely said it in the Article that I have read, but for me, it is really a hard fight for him to take another Inoue fight, well Donaire is just very Stubborn to surrender for sure and accept defeat, that is what kind of a person Nonito Donaire is, I surely agree that he just needs to fight boxers that he didn't fight before but for me pick a fight he can win, but again Nonito Donaire is not that kind of a boxer, he would surely want a challenge,

That's true.

If he's going to pick his next opponent, he has to be sure and eager that he know that his opponent is easy and he'll win. It could be wrong for the others to have this mentality.

He is fighting against the monster, against on the top level boxer, against the number 1 in bantamweight, that's why we see the big gap between him and Naoya Inoue. This Japanese monster is just on the higher level that's why Donaire becomes nothing. Kudos though to the Filipino flash that on his first meeting against Inoue, he able to give the monster the first bad injury on its career.

Moving forward, I'm with everyone here that Donaire still has that destructive power. Of course, not against Inoue.

Going down weight class is a good move for him if the purpose is to just continue what he wants. However, in the event that he experience losing a match on that division, it's now the time to hang his gloves and enjoy his retirement. Actually according to him if I remember it right, he will really retires if he loses again after the lose against Inoue on their 1st meeting. But since he able to beat 2 opponents after that and even become a champion, he thinks he still has the power so he push on a rematch against Inoue.

I wasn't expecting that from Donaire because he was aggressive during his younger days fights. I think his age really affected his performance and stamina. Maybe that's the reason why he wants to rest for a while. We can't deny that Inoue has fast hands and strategic punches, he was a big challenge for Donaire.

Age is really a big factor in sports especially physical sports like boxing. Donaire is 39 years old and Inoue is 29, Age is somehow far. Donaire boxing peak or prime is now gone and I think that he can possibly retire now as a boxer. I agree that his battle with Inoue is a real challenge, Inoue is at his prime now and I that time I bet on inoue even though I'm a Filipino.
