‘The Monster’ is comingThe battle for the bantamweight (118 lbs.) division’s ‘Iron Throne’ has been narrowed down to two proud gladiators: ‘The Monster’ and ‘The Flash.’In a few months from now, the bantamweight tournament of the World Boxing Super Series (WBSS) will crown arguably the best 118-pound boxer in the world. After all the pounding and grinding, Naoya ‘The Monster’ Inoue and Nonito ‘The Filipino Flash’ Donaire Jr. have emerged as the finalists and will duke it out for the WBSS’ coveted Muhammad Ali Trophy and the prize money that comes with it. Whichever way you put it, the WBSS’ bantamweight championship finale figures to be worth the wait. If Donaire pulls off the upset, we might just see a new nickname for him: Monster Slayer.
