| Inoue - Donaire II Saitama Japan |

with Donaire on their rematch Tuesday night at Super Arena in Saitama Japan.

the opening round with seconds left and then he decked him again heavily in the
second round after a series of vigorous hooks and combinations to close out the
show at 1:24.
“Thank you so much everyone, I did it. In the very
first round I seen the left hook from Nonito, and that punch made me wake up.
To be able to raise my status, I needed to win, so I just decided to finish
this fight” – Naoya Inoue
The Monster showcased an excellent performance, and his
power was too much for the 39-yeard-old Nonito to handle. The second round of
their match was all hard to watch.
Donaire confessed veering off strategy against the
Japanese boxing sensation.
"Brawlers gonna brawl. It's part of me. We came in with
a good game plan, But I got so caught up with wanting to brawl, and that's my
biggest flaws. I love brawling. It's hard for me to go and change that
overnight. That was the biggest mistake that I did." – Nonito Donaire
After the beating, Inoue just added another belt to his
possession the WBC and now has insight in becoming undisputed in his respective
division.
A potential showdown with England’s native Paul Butler is imminent who holds the missing piece in this division’s puzzle.
