Jealous featherfists in Boxing can create all the narratives they want about stacking, PED's because they punch like girls but its clear Inoue was gifted by the Gods with that power (unlike his featherfisted younger brother) 48 stoppages in 81 fights is insanely high for amateurs The 3 times he fought without tape on before gauze the results have been: 1) 6th round retirement of Nieves after brutalizing his body in Carson, Cali 2) 2nd round KO of Emmanuel Rodriguez in Glasgow, Scotland 3) 8th round TKO of Fulton in Tokyo, Japan and the only time he wore the Reyes gloves was for the Donaire rematch Would be interesting if someone manages to dig up footage of this fight
Yes I think that might be helpful as he moves up to maximize his power The only problem I see is that he has always had issues with his right hand which is why I think he favors the Winning gloves 1) In the fight against Yuki Sano I think he broke it in round 2 & was just fighting with his left hand, still managed to drop Sano, & finally got the stoppage in round 10, the final round 2) I think he broke it again against Narvaez but luckily that fight only lasted 2 rounds 3) Against Carmona he either broke or bruised it mid rounds & fought mostly with his left hand, finally managed to drop Carmona in round 12 but couldn't finish him I am not sure if the recent infection which caused Fulton fight to be postponed was to his left or right hand but a broken or bruised hand during the fight is something he can't afford at these higher weight classes
I think the Fulton was a great opportunity to use Cleto-Reyes as he wouldn't be in with a big puncher it he had hurt his hand mid-fight. Maybe he felt it was raw after the Donaire rematch.
May be he wanted to prove a point to Fulton? They had a twitter exchange last year where Fulton implied that Reyes gloves had something to do with Inoue's nasty stoppage of Donaire but Inoue shot back saying "Please wait... No matter which glove you wear, the result is the same " & Fulton came back with "Very soon, we will see" This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected
I think Fulton might have deleted the tweet about Reyes gloves from last year but I found this tweet to him by a Boxing fan @dotrat4lifes @coolboysteph Yo, was you suggesting Inoue loaded his Clete Reyes gloves? 1:52 PM · Jun 16, 2022 This content is protected
Was happy Fulton and co got shown up after they made up nonsense about PEDs and tape and what have you. Typical behavior of a brat by Fulton but hes w PBC and that company does nothing but make brats
Yes I was happy he served up that TKO to Fulton with the gloves of Fulton's choice & wrapping style of Fulton's choice, what a Boxer in this age of self proclaimed TBE's who haggle over what brand of gloves their opponents can wear Shut up a lot of clowns including fans of these jealous featherfists on this forum
What Percentage of Boxing Matches End in a Knockout? Written by Dimitar Ivanov in Boxing facts Approx Reading Time: 9 minutes While watching boxing, I have always been curious to know how many matches end with the knockout criterion. Is it possible to determine the total percentage of such matches? I started to dig this answer online and found that: Around 66% of matches get an outcome through knockouts (KO). But a big portion of those knockouts is technical knockouts (TKO). Knockouts (KOs) happen most often in the heavyweight division. Here’s the percentage of KOs and TKOs for each weight class: Weight Class KOs Knockout Percentage Heavyweight 212 79% Cruiserweight 180 71% Light Heavyweight 170 67% Super Middleweight 225 70% Middleweight 185 75% Junior Middleweight 156 65% Welterweight 200 68% Junior Welterweight 171 69% Lightweight 177 67% Junior Lightweight 154 66% Featherweight 146 58% Junior featherweight 127 58% Bantamweight 141 64% Junior bantamweight 246 68% Flyweight 160 70% Junior Flyweight 123 63% Strawweight 111 51% Average KO% – 66% (data from top 10 boxers according to ringtv.com) https://shortboxing.com/what-percentage-of-boxing-matches-end-in-a-knockout/ Keep in mind this is only by counting the top 10 boxers of each weight class (so its surely lower if you include all active boxers of each weight class) You can just tell the level of power Inoue has (88% stoppage ratio) when you notice that the weight classes he fights/fought at have some of the lowest KO % & that the KO % tends to increase as you go up weight classes
