    Yeah I've read it is a fixed walk on time- there is another fight on the card- Inoue's younger brother is fighting for The WBC title in the same weight class.

    What a great scrap for Thursday lunch hour. Inoue is a monster, Donaire will go down as a legend.

    the best thing to come out of it is his confirmed move to top rank, this opens up alot and possibly a fight with lomo?? 130 maybe?

    3 fights have been confirmed for next year on anyway

    Inoue vs Loma was rumoured at 126 a while back,

    130 might be a bit of a stretch for Inoue considering hes at 118 now

    Would Loma get down to 126? i know he did in the past.

    some great fights for Inoue if he moves up to featherweight. would love to see it

    Wonder could Inoue and Conlon square off against each other next year. Both with top rank and Conlon will be looking for title fights in 2020. Doubt his advisors would let it happen.

    No, probably not. Will be interesting to see which route Conlon takes. You'd imagine he'll be fighting for a world title at some stage in 2020.

    While it would be a high profile fight that would be easy to sell I think this one goes terribly for Conlon. I just don't see a single thing Conlon could do to deter Inoue for very long or keep him off him.

    I'd 100% watch for curiosity, but I don't see it being made tbh.

    It's premier league vs division 2 at this stage. MC needs to show us what he can do first, and fighting who he has been, is not doing this.

    If MC has a very good chin, and can fight hard at a hard pace against elite, then he has a chance...

    Has he shown anything yet to suggest he might? I haven't noticed much myself, I think he'll be protected for a good while yet before he's really in with anyone dangerous.

    No. Has shown nothing yet...nothing to suggest he’s a world beater anyway.

    I wouldn't put Conlan in with Donaire!!

    Today puts Burnett into perspective. He was clearly beating Donaire until his back went

    I thought the Burnett fight was close..Might need to rewatch it.

    It only went a few rds..

    Doesn’t say much for MCs chances at world level if a blown up bantam has-been is too dangerous...

    I feel really sorry for Burnett. While it wasn't a cakewalk, I thought he was winning that and his skillset would always have given anybody problems. He had so much more to offer. What a waste.

    Whole card is a shambles

    Money making exercise to appease whiny teenagers that idolise youtubers

    There were rumours about Burnett carrying an injury into that fight, he looked a bit hampered to me in there (before the obvious end).
    However like you I felt he was getting the better of Donaire regardless.

    Power and punch resistance may have made life tough as he went up in weight, but I think skill and speed alone would have seen him take more World titles.
    On the flip side he's managed to win multiple World titles and retire at a young age before he's took too many hard shots. He probably hasn't earned a crazy amount from the sport, but hopefully he has enough to start him on whatever road he wants to go.

    What injury forced him to call it a day? I know he did his back vrs Donaire but didn't hear if that was the reason he quit.

    He also ended up in hospital after the unification fight, maybe there was a doubt after that fight? I think he had a brain scan?

    I hope to see Inoue in with Burnett (if he comes back) or Tete. Conlan shouldn't be put anywhere near him unless he's looking for a payday.

    Wilder is 3/10 to knock Ortiz out on paddy power. I still think Ortiz could sneak a decision if he avoids that bomb this time, I think he's the tidier boxer as well but nobody on the planet is matching Wilders power right now.

    It seems Canelo and Billy Joe Saunders have agreed a fight for 2020.

    That is a long time for three things to happen.

    BJS to cheat, Canelo to cheat, BJS to be “injured.”

    Surprised BJS even wanted Canelo in the end, suppose he knows his unbeaten streak is gonna end soon and who better to lose it to than one of the best in the world, like Kell Brook with GGG, cashing in while he can.

    Sneaking a decision won't be possible for Ortiz imo. All 3 judges had Wilder up on the cards before the stoppage in their first fight. And that was after Ortiz putting in a very very good effort for the early rounds.

    If it goes the distance and is in any way close Wilder will get the decision. So for Ortiz to win a decision he'll have to school him. I can't see him doing that.

    Wilder KO win, Ortiz KO win or Wilder decision; in that order of probability imo.

    I'm not expecting Ortiz to be as good this time around. He was ok in fight 1.

    He was well in the fight...

    But, I believe there is a vulnerability with Wilder's chin, and if Ortiz can land heavy, he could well score an upset. Heavy for the one type shot KO, or heavy, with a clinical follow up.

    Wilder has always been a KO waiting to happen. He's been matched very well throughout his career and only taken tough fights in the last year or so. Ortiz is too old and had his chance the first time around. I reckon Wilder gets him out of there in the middle rounds without as many problems this time.

    I keep reading this, and yet I dont think anyone has put him down as a pro?
