I’ve defended Donaire fighting on many times on here because, if there’s literally no one else in the division outside of the champ(s) that can beat him, how can you tell him to retire? How can you tell a guy that’s probably in the top ten in two divisions to hang em up?
But I heard him in an interview on Mannix and Mora’s podcast earlier this year and HOLY ****, the man’s speech is completely unrecognizable from what it was a decade ago.
He needs to retired IMMEDIATELY.
A lot can change in 10 years: he was rebuilding after being stopped by Walters. Fast forward ten years and sixteen fights later, and no wonder he’s beginning to show cognitive impairment. He could’ve retired after Inoue stopped him, but he didn’t. It seems like Nonito is prepared to drive until the wheels come off….similar to Chisora. If he beats Tsutsumi, he may try to unify. However, I think he’ll be wise enough to not step in the ring with Bam.

Respect to the Filipino Flash for all his achievements until now and whatever he has left in the tank.
A fighter who’s character & ethos are at least as admirable as his pugilistic prowess.

Donaire will literally fight anyone. From highly avoided stylistic nightmares like Rigo, guys dangerous punchers who are far naturally bigger like Walters, and then the elite of the elite in their prime like Inoue.
Huge respect to Nonito, and whilst I expect he may come up short, I’d love to see him upset Tsutsumi.

I’ve always been a Donaire fan , especially after he beat the snot out of that Azzhole Vic The D ick Darchinyan . Tsutsumi is MY DOG though. This is a very interesting fight , I see a couple of ways that it can go , most likely among them is a straight up shootout breaking out eventually. At this stage in their respective careers I believe that Tsutsumi may well have too much for Nonito. If it gets ugly in there I hope that Rachel does right by Nonito and doesn’t decide to be too brave for his health.
