Top Inoue vs Donaire 2 Boxing Pick
Our top pick is the champion, Naoya Inoue for a $16 per $100 wagered payout. Inoue is undefeated, crushing all three contenders by knockout since obtaining the unified titles in 2019. Naoya seems to be improving, and Donaire was first champ in 2011, making him 39 years old for this upcoming bout. Bet the champ for a parlay ticket at an underrated -625.
Best Nonito Donaire Jr. Pick
If Donaire can do it, it will be by KO.
I don’t see a way for Donaire to find the decision win.
He’s aging and Inoue is on yet another knockout tear. Bet the Over 7.5 Rounds prop bet at -130 to cover the decision and late finish from either man. It’s a scary bet from my perspective, because I believe the older Donaire gets the higher likelihood a repeat of his round six KO loss to Walters becomes.

Donaire is the slightly larger man. His weight cut is notoriously brutal, which will be more and more difficult to replicate with age. Inoue is a decade younger, but has amateur experience on his side with a 75-6 record.
Inoue vs Donaire Coaches, Inoue and Salas
The family experience of training with his father cannot be denied. Inoue’s father has brought in the best sparring partners and trainers in the world, tailor making each training camp for the next opponent.
Donaire has taken on Salas, the coach that built Rigondeaux, Gamboa, and Magdaleno. Each of them, older, scrappy boxers. It’s a fantastic switch in camp, but I don’t think it’s going to move the needle on your Inoue betting pick.

Fighter Money Line | Odds |
Naoya Inoue | -625 |

Inoue has grown in popularity opening at -400 against Donaire and capping at -714.
He was an even stronger favorite in their 2019 bout opening at 2500.
It was the most competitive fight of Inoue’s career to date, but it’s surprising to see oddsmakers and bettors ignoring Donaire’s age and expecting him to perform even better in the 2022 match up. The Inoue vs Donaire 2 betting odds should look closely at Donaire’s age and changes in performance over his last two fights since facing Inoue.
Odds History for Inoue vs Donaire 2 Betting

Limited options are available for round calls.
Rounds | Over/Yes Odds | Under/No Odds |
7.5 | -130 | -110 |
Goes the Distance | +225 | -330 |
We’ve estimated the over to be the right bet. Their last fight went to decision, but going the distance against Inoue will be tougher than ever at 39.
The ‘goes the distance’ prop bets don’t offer enough of an odds boost to consider.

What Round Can Donaire Knockout Inoue?
Donaire is basically up in the air. The majority of his knockouts happen early, but if you’re going to bet a Donaire win, I’d wager the 7-12 knockout prop as well, despite evidence in his record.

Boxing Breakdown for Inoue vs Donaire 2 Predictions
The compubox stats show a competitive first bout, with Inoue landing more jabs each and every round. Donaire knew his hope was a finish, and took rounds with power punches landed. Donaire lost the last three rounds handily, and it’s debatable that Inoue won rounds 1-6 as well, offering only 7-9 as clear Donaire wins. Though the score was close, don’t let that make your Inoue vs Donaire II prediction tentative. Inoue is the superior boxer in almost every category.
