Original boxer report from 2019

Two days before the book and Logan Paul, they kidnapped the boxing ring in Los Angeles and emphasized how complex this sport is to master, Nayya Inoue AND Nonito Donaire He provided boxing in the best best place in the Super Arena in Japan.

Once again, the world box promoter (WBSS), promoted by Sauerland World Boxing Super Super Super Super. 26-year-old Inoue and relatively archaic Donaire, 36, were dropped in a battle in the age of a tournament that Whitting eight from the best divisions up to two.

It is approaching less than two weeks after the fans were treated by Josh Taylor-Regiis Prograis Fest, which was the lithe final of WBSS, Inoue and Donaire invented something even better. By virtue of the blood and the guts they divided, the rivals have become partners who will forever connect with each other: Inoue and Donaire are now coming off the language like Bangers and Mash, and the sports couple showed sauce.

After 12 rounds of thunderous action, Inoue added the title of WBA Bantamweight to his IBF championships, when he won a unanimous decision through the results of 114-113 (Robert Hoyle), 116-111 (Luigi Boscarelli) and misleading 117-109 (Octavio Rodriguez). The Japanese virtuoso also won the Muhammad Ali’s more and more picturesque trophy, but not earlier than Donaire allowed to receive the prize back to his hotel so that the veteran could keep his promise to his sons.

“With tears in my eyes, I humbly asked Inoue to borrow him at night, not for me, but for my word,” explained Donaire. “It will be a life lesson that my boys will learn. You do your best [can still] Come briefly. You will win. You will lose. But in both aspects you will do it gracefully. “

It was one of those fights in which the efforts of the loser certainly deserved something more than just patting on the back. In many respects they were as impressive as Victor. Especially when it is remembered that Donaire – commonly considered the nicest man in boxing after retiring Anthony Crolla – considered his future last year, when he lost to Carl Frampton in Feather Wweight.

Indeed, when he announced his plan to dismantle weight and drop to Bantamweight, few observers thought it was a wise move. Boxing news He even advised the three-important world letter Donaire against changing so many pounds at the end of his career.

But his return to class 118 pounds and entering this tournament (which Donaire attributes to Richard Schaeffer), saw that Filipino organized something in Las Vegas. Few expected that it would enhance into such a performance.

Wins on Ryan Burnett (pushed out of an injury), and Stephon Youthful on his way to the finals emphasized that Donaire is far from the end, but his performance against one of the most terrifying fighters on world boxing was completely at a different level.

“Monster” played a veteran overdue in the opening round and scored a goal with two of our left hooks. Many anticipated the early victory of Inoue, but Donaire, which survived the featherweight bombs in a not such distant past, did not look like an overflow. It is malignant with his stab and a successful on the counter, the ability to tardy down time and recognition of his options is a feature that only the smartest can boast of.

In the second he gathered warmly, showing his class with the main hand and combinations. Inoue fired – again his left hand – before the favorite suddenly cares for a nasty cut at the end of the session. The anchoring wound began in a duel, and later it was sewn under the glow of a torch from a telephone with a camera in the cloakroom.

The left hook from the “Filipino flash” caused injuries, in the rounds of three and four elderly maestro, using his obvious advantage of size, threatened to take over. Lower fighters for Inoue could develop. We have seen it many times in the past (I think Kelly Pavlik is enchanted by Bernard Hopkins or Davey Moore, who are delegated by Roberto Duran) when heavily excited are exposed. But Inoue, despite the cutting and traps, which Donaire set, refused to pay and proved that any noise has long been justified.

They exchanged blows through the middle rounds. Inoue seemed to have a greater threat. On your fingers, but always ready to plant your feet, the usual speed of the right hand inoue was a view. Inoue’s work was also a pleasure to watch. He mimorated Donaire’s stab and abruptly opposed his right. In response, Noneto slipped both inside and outside the blows fired to him, exhausting the effectiveness of his rival. But in the end, if Donaire’s experience made the fight such an elegant spectacle, then the youth of Inoue won.

Another roaring left hook hurt Donaire in ninth place, but according to the subject of the fight, the weaker called his reserves and withdrew, and especially with his right hand shook her shoes.

Inoue would later explain the scope of his injuries. His eyelid rights were not only cut out, but the bones around him were broken. His nose was broken. ” [Donaire] Left Hook was really intense – he said.

But somehow he found energy to attack 11 .. Worał terrifying the left in Donaire’s stomach. Underdog felt it immediately and when Agony swelled, he first looked for an escape, running from Inoue and then his knee. He jumped up after hearing the count from judge Ernie Sharif.

Some complained that Donaire was the beneficiary of the long count. Whatever. It is a shame that he is a shame. Especially when imagining the heroic effort required for the uprising. Inoue moved to finish the task to catch him with a tank with a left hook inside.

Donaire also succeeded at the beginning of 12 .. But Inoue regained control, and his right and left hands spin in the attack. Donaire survived the last storm and, significantly increased her own reputation.

“I had a double vision from the second round,” said Inoue, “but I won and I am very proud of myself.

“I think I have a brilliant future. Noneto Donaire was very, very sturdy. I think Donaire is a real master.”

While the place in Donaire’s history has been confirmed in failure, the position of Inoue rises. Considering that he is only 26 years elderly, and there is a possibility with world belts in four divisions – if he has not burned out – it will be remembered among the best of them.

“Nayya Inoue is a generational talent, a kind of warrior who appears once every decade,” said Bob Arum.

The agular promoter, with whom he is now signed, is not ashamed to send great statements about his fighters. But with Inoue – as before with Manny Pacquiao – someone senses that Arum is for something.

“You look at all time, which enters the peak of what will be a historical career.”

The middleweight division has always been a favorite on these shore, and at the beginning to the mid -1990s, three men were fascinated and entertained masses. Chris Eubank originally led, but Nigel Benn and eventually Steve Collins He took over, and Collins held two wins over both his rivals, and on November 9, 1996, Collins recorded a second victory over Bennem; The last time we saw the “Gloomy Destroyer” in the ring.

Two men returned to the place of their first fight, then named Nyx Arena in Manchester, where Collins initially defeated Benna in four rounds, when Leniewicz went to the stool because of ankle injury.

Four months later we returned to Manchester with Benne, looking for a redemption, and Collins is looking for a final and more clear victory. Once again, Super Middle WBO was on the line and once again Benn retired on the stool, although this time there was no injury.

Collins has always been relentless in his attacks, but Benn wore knockout power, which made him one of the most observed and exhilarating fighters that Great Britain has ever produced.

Many fans counted on another outstanding performance by Benn, but his heart did not seem to be in him at night and took a systematic beating from the hands of “Celtic Warrior”.

The “Gloomy Destroyer” may have had to give up earlier, but he was never a man who withdrew from the challenge. Benn tried to exchange Collins, but he tried nothing, and at the end of the sixth round he signaled that he no longer wanted to referee Paul Thomas.

Benn retired after the fight, although there were rumors about returning, the “Gloomy Destroyer” never returned between the ropes, despite the assumption of Collins after the fight that he would come back.

Collins fought twice as much in 1997, defending his title against Frederic Seillier and Craig Cummings, but the injury in training caused the fight against Joe Calzaghe in Sheffield this year. Instead, Eubank took up a fight, where the beginning of the legendary career at the level of the world title was present.

But the fights between Collins and Bennem, although not expected buffers, are huge in the history of British boxing and both remain cult in the middleweight department.
