No mate. Nonito Donaire is still quick and fast even at his age but it's just that Naoya Inoue is just quicker and too much for him. Believe me, Donaire can still KO and defeat other boxers in the bantamweight division. Inoue is just on another level and he is a monster in that division.
But we can't hide the fact that it might be too late to regain his position on bantamweight where his plan is to make some winnings first on a much lower level division. Even if he will be successful in the lower division, he might enter the bantamweight division obviously at a much older age.
And for let's say he managed to defeat those other bantamweights once he stepped up at that old age, I'm not sure if he can still repeat the achievement he done before fighting Inoue which is the oldest fighter to achieve a world title.
Maybe just making money as he feels he can still fight. Not a wrong move though before hanging his gloves.
I agree that he's still the Nonito that we've used to watch but with his fight with Inoue, it is the reality that Inoue is better than him in many aspects which includes the speed.
Where can we read his future plans?
Many agrees that it's time for him to retire and let the younger generation and aspiring ones to excel with his help as a trainor.
Nonito's future plan or Inoue? As far as Nonito, well we have seen the latest update, he wants to continue with his career.
For Inoue, we are hearing that he might go for the unification fight with Paul Butler. It will be huge if the fight is going to happen in UK. But not sure if Inoue will be comfortable, it might be better if the fight is in the US. So that his fans are going to see him and of course makes a name for himself in the US household. Arum knows how to hype him in the States.
Nonito continuing his career? is it in the same division? I mean, he cannot beat the champion, so why would he still stay? Maybe he still looking for some extra money before finally deciding to retire. Or maybe before he retires he could fight Casimero, I think that would be a great fight.
I agree with you, Casimero is a great option for Nonito to show off and recover much more reputation, this is something that should be taken into account, however, maybe we don't know, but if Nonito is looking for some money I think I could take advantage, let's remember that boxing is a sport where you can make a lot of money, because your business model is very well designed for that, and to be able to capitalize quickly if you make the corresponding and pertinent agreement.
Nonito needs one more fight, I think he deserves it, right? Almost for me it is at the level that they can give and offer a great fight and show.
Remember that Adrien Broner supposedly had a comeback fight against Figueroa?
AB withdraw from that fight citing mental health issues,
Andrien Borner withdrawal in the fight against Omar is really quite sad, because actually I hope that the fight between Andrien Borner and Omar Figueroa will provide an interesting spectacle because after all Andrien Borner is one of the boxers who is quite good and able to win four division titles, but indeed mental problems make someone have to be handled properly and that reason can be a reasonable reason for his resignation, as a substitute fighter I hope that in the ring Sergey Lipinets will be able to put up a strong fight against Omar Figueroa and become an interesting main fight besides the re-fight that I the most waiting for Oleksandr Usyk vs Anthony Joshua.
Everyone can be hit by this mental problems, recently it was Ryan Garcia but he was able to recover after almost 2 years, and same with Danny Garcia as well, he mentioned it after his win against Campa. So it's real, every athlete are affected by it, just how they are going to respond. The sad part is that Broner, of all the time in the world, suddenly withdraw days before the fight and its so uncanny for him to make his excuse. Anyhow, the fight is going to push through this weekend, but I'm not that interested to watch to be honest.
What happens is that the Ryan thing was something very strong, however I think he was fine now, when there are mental health problems of that kind, a boxer currently for me before making a fight should be evaluated by a good psychologist to see if he is ready to fight or not, sometimes a person who is not very well can seek to harm himself by taking advantage of the opponent, many things can be seen that we do not know.
Well, sometimes things don't go the way you want and fights happen because the business model is much stronger than reason, sometimes money is above the sport itself, but those are forces that sometimes we don't control, and being less fans.
