Naoya Inoue (22-0, 19 KOs) and Nonito Donaire (42-6, 28 KOs) met the bantamweight limit before tomorrow's rematch in Japanese Saitama, which will have three WBC, WBA and IBF championship belts at stake. The Japanese "Monster", WBA and IBF champion, showed 53.5 kilograms on the scales. WBC Philippine Flash champion - 53.4 kg.
It is reported that after the weigh-in, the parties had disagreements with the choice of gloves, but they were resolved. Inoue's team allegedly demanded that Donaire choose a different pair instead of the one he had originally settled on, and the Filipino responded by pointing out that all the gloves the Japanese inspected were not sealed. Inoue will wear blue and orange Everlasts, Donaire will wear black Reyes.
