Thoughts on a Third Match between Naoya Inoue and Nonito Donaire
Recently, while talking about boxing with friends, the topic of a third match between Naoya Inoue and Nonito Donaire came up. One of my friends said, “There’s no point in having it,”
which surprised me a bit. It’s true that when you look at Donaire’s past fights, Inoue’s overwhelming strength stands out, and it feels like the outcome is predictable.
Imagining the Atmosphere of the Match
However, reflecting on it, I believe that boxing matches are not just about the result; they also encompass the drama and atmosphere during the fight. For instance, the tension as Inoue steps into the ring, the cheers from the audience, and the moment punches are exchanged. It’s that thrilling feeling that makes watching so enjoyable. I understand the opinion that Donaire might be hesitant, but on the flip side, I want to see him show his determination. If he can demonstrate his resolve and aim for the final blow, that could create an emotional scene in itself.
My Boxing Watching Experience
I also love watching boxing matches with friends, and there was a time when we watched a match on a big screen at a pub. I made the mistake of overeating snacks before the match, leading to a stomachache during the fight (laughs). But once the match started, I forgot all about that and became completely engrossed. In that way, I want to cherish not just the results but also the enjoyment and emotions of watching. Even if the outcome of the Inoue and Donaire match is known, we might still be able to appreciate the excitement and drama of the moment.
