.jpg)
Japan's Inoue has established himself as one of the most fearsome fighters in the sport,When the second wave of three World Boxing Super Series tournaments was announced in 2018, the eight-man field at bantamweight looked like the best of what admittedly were all quite stacked fields.It had three of the four major beltholders, one of boxing’s most talented young stars, a big name veteran, and a less certain than certain path to the finals for anyone.soaring up almost everyone’s pound-for-pound list with a series of devastating performances that have shown just why they call him ‘The Monster.
While all three tournaments have delivered various thrills,At 26, he is a three-weight world champion having taken down all those in his path with 16 of his 18 professional bouts ended by KO. including a fantastic final at Jr. welterweight weeks ago between Josh Taylor and Regis Prograis, bantamweight has been a bumpy ride.
Consider the arrival of future Hall of Famer Nonito Donaire in the finals.Inoue absurd punching power has seen him blast through the bantamweight division, taking just three rounds to collectively dispatch Juan Carlos Payano and Emmanuel Rodriguez in the quarter-final and semi-final stages of the World Boxing Super Series. Coming off losses in two of his last three fights at higher weights, and not having fought at bantamweight since defeating Omar Narvaez in 2011, Donaire was an underdog to advance past the first round. Fate had other plans. After a competitive first three rounds, then-undefeated and recently unified titlist Ryan Burnett tore an oblique muscle and was forced to retire in the fourth round.Neither man had been stopped as a professional before stepping inside the ring with Inoue.
Inoue has lived up to “The Monster” nickname throughout his career.Donaire is undefeated in this weight class, taking the WBA strap from Ryan Burnett in November last year on a night where the Belfast fighter was stricken by injury. At bantamweight, his three top-quality opponents have lasted a combined 7:22, and the heavy-handed Inoue is going to have a partisan crowd on hand at the Saitama Super Arena.

At bantamweight, his three top-quality opponents have lasted a combined 7:22, and the heavy-handed Inoue is going to have a partisan crowd on hand at the Saitama Super Arena. Donaire is 36 years old and not in his prime, but he still possesses big knockout power in the form of a lethal left hook. Once one of the best pound-for-pound boxers in the world, he’ll look to pull of a shock result in Japan and add to his Hall of Fame legacy.

Suddenly, Donaire was a Beth Folder (WBA), who again set up a fascinating semi-final with WBO titleist Zolani Tete. Tete has won 12 in a row with titles in two consecutive weight classes. Then, the week of the fight, a shoulder injury forced Tete off the field. Donaire stopped alternate foe Stephen Young in six rounds.
Would Donaire have defeated a deserted Burnett or Tete? We will never know and it does not matter. Donaire is here, now, in the WBSS finals and facing a fighter who handled his side of the bracket with almost sinister ease.
Naiya Inoue has won eight consecutive matches within distance. His last seven knockouts have come against all men who have never been stopped before, four of them being current or former bell holders. In his semifinal victory over another youth, Prime Titleist in Emmanuel Rodriguez, In Up added a full title to his third weight class in less than two rounds.
Already in several lists of the best fighters in the world's best weight category, Soul has a chance five days after Saul Alvarez-Sergey Kovalev to make a daunting but nonetheless top-of-the-line statement against a sporting and dangerous veteran.
Horsday's hopes may not be final, but Inway-Donaire is probably the easiest of all possible promotions (DAZN, 5 AM EST). Two of the most devastating light-weight boxers in Memory Square recently in the classic skirmish yesterday and today. Inoue has been a hardcore favorite since winning her first title at 108 lbs. An unusual combination of speed, power and lethal technique.
The only thing we don’t know is just how good Inoue chin is. Donaire has lost a step but he’s been stopped only once, at featherweight, has never lost at bantamweight, and stands at 5-0 with 4 KOs at 118 lbs. Can Donaire get one more big left hook home? If Donaire does land a bomb, can Inoue take it? Does Donaire have enough game left to keep the younger man honest? Or is the veteran fated to simply play the co-star as Inoue fully stamps his place on the global stage?
