Naoya Inoue vs. Marlon Tanan Tapales & Seiya Tsutsumi vs. Kazuki Anaguchi RBR.

Hmm, this is annoying. They still haven't replayed the Ko punch in Japan

 

Sometimes Inoue does allow himself to take shots to get the other guy to open up to get the KO, I would like to get Inoue's post fight thoughts on his strategy

Great effort by Tapales especially after round 5 after he started making adjustments away from the high guard & started finding some success to win a round but that just shows you how high the expectations on Inoue are that they don't expect another world champ to even win a round or 2 even when the other guy isn't a paper champ in anyway & won it legitimately against MJ

 

I say that I saw and you don't have to correct me. Just enjoy the winning.

Every word that is not praising Inoue is hurting his cult and that's what is really silly to me.

And on top of that, he gave Inoue his toughest fight in years. Now granted, it wasn't really close in terms of scoring - at best, Tapales won maybe 2-3 rounds. But the man made Inoue work to get him out of there and landed some good work on him, particularly to the body.

 

His cult don't see that. for them Inoue is god and can't be wrong.

 

Maybe Leigh Wood be a good step up?

 

Inoue isn't the P4P king, he's the P4P emperor.

 

Tapales isnt a low level fighter you moron, as soon as you had that notion, youve lost the argument.

 

Not sure about that card from Metcalfe giving Inoue every round. :-/

 

WTF, the Japan stream's camera didn't have a good angle on the KO, and didn't even replay it

 

yeah let Tapales get the people that Inoue won’t get to when he moves up. I enjoy that idea.

 

Crawford did it first. Inoue did it fastest. If Usyk wins - and I do believe he will - he'll have overcome the biggest physical disadvantages. Quite the little club forming here

 

He is fighting Joe Cordina next I think.
