LETTER OF THE WEEK
RECENTLY, I’ve been watching footage of some of the best fights from the 1970s through to the 1990s. I was fortunate enough to be in attendance at a couple of them. The recent fight between Naoya Inoue and Nonito Donaire was every bit as good as these old classics and must surely be a contender for the Fight of the Year prize. It had everything, with both fighters giving no quarter. Inoue is a class act, but full credit must be given to Donaire, too. His best days may be long gone, but the experienced warrior stubbornly dragged his much younger opponent into the trenches.
