    Inoue's kayo rate is now 88.888888%

    That is as divinely lucky as it gets in Chinese numerology (and by extension the rest of Buddhist Asia)

    Still plenty of good fights for him at 122.

    Goodman, MJ, Casimero are all legitimate fights.

    Maybe but Bud and Usyk certainly have their cases. None of the 3 have a head and shoulders case when you factor in both ability and resume. Def the 3 best of their gen.

    :lol: Nery walking out while the Japanese laugh-in transpires.

    But did Naoya say there that he doesn't remember anything from the fight and how much of that is lost in translation? I wonder how hurt he was.

    Usyk will get his chance to prove he's it in a few weeks.

    But as of right now, there's only one contender for the number one spot.

    He's very heavy handed too.
    If that big left hand of his connects he will do damage to anyone.

    Inoue showed his class coming back from that knockdown in style

    A bit open? He got caught cold once early and then was barely hit. Imagine what Tim Tszyu or Crawford would do to Tank

    A bit of hubris in the 1st round could have been disaster.

    Did the right thing, respected his opponent and dominated. I reckon that 1st round will linger though. Great to watch.
