What a great combination of speed, movement, defense, power and offense. The only guy standing in his way to becoming P4P #1 is Gonzalez...who is a P4P beast himself. Naoya has the advantage in speed and power, but they match up incredibly well in everything. I'm salivating over their future match up. Make it happen in late 2016. It's going to be an amazing fight.
Cuadras, Ruenroeng, Estrada and Gonzalez will all fall. Inoue is a destroyer he is the Flyweight equivalent of Sergey Kovalev and Gennady Golovkin. It was beautiful even after he'd put Warlito down he was motioning for Warlito to get back up just like Kovalev because he wanted to beat him some more.
I think he is also very strong. He faught off a clinch and immediately land a left hook that start the ko sequence. In theory, he has some big name fighters in estrada, gonzalez and rigo that could bring alot of excitement and money to the lower weight class.
this kid is amazing, hard to imagine he's what, 22? he was hurting this fellow through his guard, he will be an ATG who will NOT calculate and duck anyone, as Japanese fighters have too much pride and honor to be called a coward by anyone
i see him moving to 118 honestly i can't see anybody from 112-115 rushing to fight him i do think a fight between him and yamanaka is thrilling
I don't think guys like Ruenroeng, Estrada or Gonzales will fight him anytime soon, Inoue need more US exposure to build a fan base that brings more $$$, we need to wait a few years unfortunately
Ruenroeng should step up to the plate. He doesn't have many years left and Naoya need to start collecting belts. I still can't believe he's only 22 with well over a decade of dominance left in him.
