Nonito Donaire Reflects on Fireworks Fight With Naoya Inoue
By Random Hits

Published On Tue Dec 8, 2020, 12:15 PM EST




The legendary Nonito Donaire opens up on ‘The Monster’ Naoya Inoue and much more as a guest star on Episode 5 of ‘Kalle’s WBSS Hangouts’, a podcast hosted by WBSS Chief Boxing Officer Kalle Sauerland.

‘The Filipino Flash’ is a four-division world champion, known for incredible one-punch power and as a terrific ambassador for the sport.

And as a legend in the history of the World Boxing Super Series: Donaire conquered Ryan Burnett and Stephon Young before taking one of boxing’s brightest stars Naoya Inoue all the way in an unbelievable thriller, a modern-day classic also known as ‘The Drama in Saitama’– the consensus Fight of the Year 2019.

“There was never really a fear in me,” says 38-year-old Donaire on fighting ‘The Monster’ back in November 2019. “I have never doubted my capability. I have never put anyone higher than I am. I never felt this kid could take me or knock me out.

“I had this kid running, and no one makes this kid run. When I hurt him when he got cut, he kept coming back with great punches, but I was like it hurt, but it didn’t hurt enough to take me out. I can take it, this is going to be a good fight. I was really having fun.”

Donaire caught Inoue with a right uppercut followed by a left hook that cut Inoue after two rounds – ‘The Monster’ suffered fractures to his right eye socket, he was wounded and shaken but came back and finished stronger to claim a unanimous decision. Donaire forced Inoue to retreat to the ropes in the 9th, Inoue dropped Donaire in the 11th. Plenty of drama to rhyme with Saitama.

“I hurt him, but he is a great, f--king amazing kid. He is a great fighter who has a lot of balls inside that ring. But we never knew that until he got hit. I knew that he was going to push farther and I wasn’t going to quit either.”

On the moment in the 9th round where it looks like Donaire had an opportunity for a sensational stoppage, Kalle Sauerland asks:

“Is it like the footballer who misses the penalty in a World Cup Final? Does it haunt you …that moment?

“For maybe half a year it haunted me,” says Donaire. “But with the pandemic, I started to realise what I lacked – my killer instinct. Usually, people when I hurt them they are done and over with, but that didn’t happen. But I believe the last fight (the Inoue fight) brought back me. The lack of killer instinct caused me the fight, but it also caused me to realise where I can be again.”

Therefore, the Filipino-American is not ready to pass the torch to Inoue.

“We gotta do it again, that’s it!” says Donaire on a potential Inoue-Donaire II.

Donaire is scheduled to fight Puerto Rico’s Emmanuel Rodriguez, WBSS 118 lbs semi-finalist, in a Showtime televised main event on December 19 in Uncasville, Connecticut.

Why Crawford his resume looks waaay better than bud


Bud could have had Danny (they have history in the amateurs) and Shaw porter .. yet he chose khan and a broken kell brook

But he’s pound for pound .. arum wouldn’t even let pacqiuao fight khan lol

ive said it before and ill say it again...spence vs crawford is a legacy fight..the stars are aligned...crawford is the most accomplished american fighter today..he is in his 3rd division..he has accomplished more career wise than anybody his division now not named manny pacquiao...you gotta attempt to clean out your division..
i also dont think highly of danny garcia (esp at 147 :heh:) or shawn porter like that just like i dont highly of jeff horn or amir khan

Crawford been fighting fluffs clearing out those divisions is whats being omitted so he damn sure isn't ranked higher than Spence p4p. Notion these days is kind of ridiculous...outright ducked Porter, Ugas, and Thurman in a 3 month radius. Thats a cherry picker..doing the shyt Billy Joe and Canelo are doing. Sad.

Nonito :picard:

For both their sakes we don't need them to run it back @patscorpio


But like I said the Nonito from 8-10 years ago wouldn't have let him off the hook

top 5 fight of the past decade...the only FOTY last year where after watching it I wanted to go straight to the gym to go put in work..esp since it was early in the morning... i refused to leave my home until it was finished...thankfully im a HNIC in my occupation so no one batted an eye i got into my office late that day...everything about that fight was class

but yeah bro @Knicksman20 ..i dont think a rematch is such a good idea either :lupe:..monster had shyt broken in his face and donaire took enough punishment for me to think he shouldnt continue..if it happens, it happens i guess
