That strategy can work against Inoue but the amount of stamina should be doubled or tripled because after all, Naoya Inoue is on a different level and the most dangerous boxer currently at 117.

He is more careful than in their last fight and so as Inoue, the only thing to win this upcoming fight is who has the best experience from their last fight and utilizes those skills to beat one another. I guess whatever the outcome of this fight, it would not become a regret for these two legendary fighters as this will be one of the best fights of their career. I want to see a knockout with this one rather than heading to the official's decision because K.O will automatically conclude their series and whoever wins will be satisfied.

We all know how intense he is when he goes in training and stamina is one of things they take care to so for this its mot surprising to see him very  on this fight as Nonito is known to be a well disciplined fighter. Also he's fighting a bigger opponent which defeats him before so for sure there's no question about how hard his preparation taken for this fight and for sure he aim to take revenge then take the head of Inoue before he retires.

I will cut your discussion guys about age issues and like to discuss this interesting topic.

If you guys noticed on the last fight of Donaire against a much younger like over 10+ years of age and in its prime, we saw the speed of Donaire doing some multiple jabs at the same time while connecting some strong punch as a combination. What Donaire did is, he just continue with that strategy until Gaballo feels the pain in his body then eventually he can't handle it anymore and goes down.

That strategy of Donaire requires a big amount of stamina and yet he managed to do it even already not in his prime. That shows us that an active boxer will defy his age. That strategy can work against Inoue but the amount of stamina should be doubled or tripled because after all, Naoya Inoue is on a different level and the most dangerous boxer currently at 117.

Me and some are emphasizing Donaire's age because it is a factor. How could we not include in our analysis when it is clear as day that he is not the same fighter anymore. We can talk about skills but knowing the other guy's skills isn't the same because of aging then it will be worth mentioning. It would be a shame talking about how poor Michael Jordan and the Wizards cannot compete against the top like the previous championship Bulls team without considering his age. Or saying how weak Mike Tyson was against Kevin McBride. It's like discounting these legends and their previous achievements were just flukes because they lost when they became old. I can remember when Lomachenko said he is not interested fighting Pacman because the legend is past his prime and people would say he beat an older version. You guys seen GGG and Canelo's previous two fights? They were close. I beat their third match will make GGG minimum x3.

I just talked with an fb friend and he's also an admin of our boxing group. The Ring magazine (the bible of boxing) reporter and editor. He's also a member of the BWAA a rival of The Ring when it comes to the highest awards in boxing. I just cut and shaded some of it because he is also linked to local media. Anyways, best wishes to Donaire but I think Inoue will be smarter this time, he won't engage much and maybe he can also stop Donaire in the late rounds.

Sometimes this kind of discussion will lose the excitement of the fight, if used the word prime, we can always make it as an excuse if our fighter will lose. Donaire may not on his prime anymore but look what he did in his previous fight, he still has the power and has become more mature in choosing his strategy.

Inoue's hardest fight IMO is against Donaire, so let's think that it's Donaire has a decent chance of winning in this rematch.

And someone mention that Donaire's Prime where somewhere in early 2010's which I highly agree.

This is really getting deeper and deeper. Never did I mention that Donaire before is still the same as today HOWEVER I can really consider him as still in good shape despite his age. Sorry, but I won't really associate his age as the main factor why he is at disadvantage against Naoya Inoue. That was a sh*t reason for me to believe that it will be the reason why he will lose.

I won't repeat this again if Donaire will lose in the match "it's not because of his age" but the Japanese monster just does his best and dominates the fight as he already has the reference of how Donaire fights.

Obviously, Donaire is no excuse for the effect of being an aged fighter but if you will just pinpoint that specific factor why he will lose in this match then I don't see any reason why should I continue the discussion on that subject.

Not sure Inoue will do that, he knows how furious the Pinoy Flash is and gives him that opportunities

can lead him to lose the fight. The first time they've met, he almost loses since Donaire keeps on converting those
solid punches. Good thing that he is still young, and he is able to handle it.

For sure, in this upcoming fight, he won't let Donaire to have that same conversion else. A lucky solid punch will
take him down and lose his belt.

That is already a fact but sometimes when these boxers are so busy and active getting fights, that factor will somehow slow down and sometimes it cannot be seen. But I agree that these veteran boxers shouldn't be underestimated because their experience speak for themselves and they are not easy to deal with. We've seen these boxers numerous times and fighting them lightly because they are old will lead to defeat.

Donaire was beaten by Inoue at his prime, the only edge of of Donaire on this match was his experience and data analysis on how he will counter Inoue as he is more motivated to win for his retirement and redemption. There might be a 3rd match for them if ever Donaire win on this match. The odds for Donaire is currently 4.2 which only show how far the difference in there stats. I will go for Inoue to win but my bet will go to Donaire for support.

Inoue knows how to handle that pressure, please do remember that he made the right adjustment when they first met.
Now, it's a rematch, both of them wants to win especially for Donaire because he wants to retire as a champion, but let's see if the old Donaire could still make a surprise in the boxing world.

Inoue should win here, unless Donairel will hit Inoue that will put him to sleep.

Yes age does matter cause when a boxer getting old and older their movement speed gets slower, but we should not underestimate older boxers cause even they are getting slower but they are also more vigilant and more veteran in fighting they are more strategic in fighting. Like GGG and manny, Pacquiao did when they are fighting against younger opponents,

In a fight between great fighters, all aspect matters, speed, strength, technical skills, heart, endurance, reaction speed, ring experience, conditioning, etc., and age has something to do with all these aspects.  The question in this fight is whether Donaire's accumulated experience outperforms his diminishing statistics.  And age is really one important factor when the fight goes the long way, ending in a decision since stamina is the major factor here.


Age is both advantage and disadvantage but with a fight against the same or better caliber fighter, it will really make a difference.

If Inoue can really have that clean win on this or it's going to be Donaire that will have his redemption win. Inoue is at advantage but the pressure is on him.

Challenge for both of them for the fact that both of them facing great fighter on their generation but I believe the momentum is on Inoue right now because he already defeated Donaire on their last match so maybe from that they already know how this guys do his work in the boxing ring. But also in case of Donaire he already taste the killer body shot of Inoue so I guess he's prepared for that and do some good improvements towards Inoue's strength and able to study his weakness for better version of his self on their rematch.

Inoue might have that advantage, but knowing how pinoy fighters, the will to win is always inside their heart.

Donaire, with his last impressive win, might change the tempo of this fight. Though he is no longer on his prime now and Inoue

beat him from their last meeting. It will all depends from how both fighters will prepare and how luck will back them up with a good

and solid conversion that will lead them to a knock down win, crossing my finger to witness an entertaining and very aggressive

fight between these two champ!

You are right about the age but Donaire is still in good shape despite his age. As far as technical analysis is concerned, I doubt age is really a disadvantage on his part against Naoya Inoue. There is no doubt that Naoya Inoue does all the advantages against Nonito Donaire but why does the Filipino Flash even consider the next match for Inoue if he is just nothing but an old boxer that is almost close to retirement?

Honestly, only people here are considering age as a disadvantage for Donaire but you will never see Inoue's side taking that as their advantage as they know more about the capability of Nonito Donaire.

It was Manny Pacquiao who made the Philippines more known and that Filipino boxers aren't to be underestimated easily, and yes I agree that Donaire now carries the torch for the Philippines until he retires like Pacquiao did and he will be followed by the new generations which is Magsayo and Casimero. Win or lose, the Filipinos are still proud of Donaire.
