26shares


Last Thursday morning, from Saitama, Japan – in a bantamweight championship unification bout that was broadcast in the US by the relatively new powerhouse streaming app service known as DAZN – WBA bantamweight champion Nonito Donaire squared off against IBF bantamweight champion Naoya Inoue. This was the final contest in the World Boxing Super Series 118 pound tournament.

This ultimately wound up being a terrific contest between two highly skilled boxers who both exhibited tremendous heart and determination. It was a highly entertaining tactical chess match with frequent short explosive moments scattered throughout the entire 12 rounds of action. At the end of the night it was a unanimous decision for Inoue, with judge Luigi Boscarelli scoring it 116-111, judge Robert Hoyle had it 114-113, and judge Octavio Rodriguez had it 117-109. With the victory, Naoya Inoue had just become the new unified WBA/IBF bantamweight champion of the world.

So the big question is, was Inoue vs Donaire the 2019 Fight of the Year at this point in time?
