Every now and then, someone commits to paper, a seriously well written piece of prose. The article below was published on a site called The Sweet Science by a gent named Matt McGrain. It's titled. Nonito Donaire and The Monster.

The bout takes place this Thursday in Japan.

What a brilliant fight. A great champion defends his title against a legend. Well done the old man.

Who the hell was the judge who gave it 117-109 what was he watching?? Excellent fight, what a legend Donaire is and what a beast Inoue is

What an absolute star Nonito was. I actually felt emotional as he was so superb. And believe me, I'm not an emotional person.

But hats off to Naoya, he was magnificent.Just better in every single department.

I dont think the judge was that far off to be honest.

Really? I had Inoue by 3 maybe 4 rounds at most and thought the 114-113 was probably a better score that was given

 

[Cyclonic]

About the same for me too Smoke. Wider than 114-113 though.

Yep mate. Inoue controlled the fight on the back foot. He picked him off pretty much at will. And when he had to fight offensively, he did superb.

Not how I saw it but that's why boxing is so subjective. Definitely the right winner I just thought the wide score card was very harsh and one of the worst I've seen in a while

Yeah just nearer than the 117-109 was my point. Like I say, 3 or 4 rounds at most for me.

Well, the last judge was even more off the mark. I had it by about 5-6. Aprt from the 9th, I couldn't pick any round and say that Nonito had definitively won one.
