True, both of this fighters are way above the division. But we will see who is on top of the food chain. This fight will settle who is the best, Donaire will have his lasting legacy if he wins. But then again, we have the new and young generation coming at his tail like Inoue, who arguably the best bantamweight right now. But Nonito wanted to prove otherwise that he can still something in his gas tank.
This is Nonito's last chance to a shot at his dream, the unified belts. Not so easy but i think he got the chance if everything will work as planned, the timing on when to counter and land that left hook flush to the chin but if Inoue could avoid that all night long, then it is gonna over for the Filipino Flash.
No offense to fans of Butler here but I think he doesn't stand a chance to either Donaire or Inoue, he will be there because he got the WBO belt.
That will be his challenge because Inoue already knows his techniques and strengths, as well as his weaknesses. Donaire really needs to find that exact timing when to land his counter punch especially in the early rounds because that is his best shot and only chance to pin down the monster of Japan. Inoue will try to make the fight go in the late rounds and wait for Donaire to be exhausted and from there, he will start making some move as that's where Donaire's disadvantages and he cannot just keep up when his gas tank is already below average.
No offense to fans of Butler here but I think he doesn't stand a chance to either Donaire or Inoue, he will be there because he got the WBO belt.
Unfortunately, Butler cannot avoid these fights because he have a belt. Even if trains hard, he cannot just take down either Donaire or Inoue. Sad to say on his part but that's the reality. He is just nowhere near these man's league.
