The boxing match between Naoya Inoue and Nonito Donaire on November 7, 2019 is something we really look forward to. Age has it against Donaire but experience has it for him - we saw that in the win of Manny Pacquiao against Thurman. Many might agree that Pacquiao has better physical conditioning than Donaire. On the other hand, Naoya Inoue has been impressive on all his fights and was even given some tips by Pacquiao especially when throwing hooks. In many of Naoya Inoue's fights, his body punches cause his opponents to fall and suffer much, obviously in pain.
The noticeable misgiving of Naoya Inoue is that his guard is always down whenever he goes on a punching barrage. Once Donaire sees that opening, Naoya Inoue could be in trouble from a power punch from Donaire. Donaire has powerful punches to the head and body - Naoya Inoue has not shown yet if he can take those easily. His likes might be the same as that of Amir Khan, Jorge Arce and Darchinyan who were not able to survive Donaire's power punches.
In this fight, I am neutral. Whoever gets in a significant punch that the other cannot take, wins. If the fight goes the entire 12 rounds - I will give the win to Donaire.
