    Inoue was missing a lot more than usual, more so falling short with his shots, and I don't think he actually caught Nery flush right on the chin with a full power shot until he dropped him the second time and I knew Nery was in trouble when he tried to back Inoue into the ropes because he was right in range to take a full power shot.

    Got a big scare in the first round when Inoue got caught with that left hook which he really shouldn't have got caught with.

    I was also getting bad runes when the commentator kept talking about the big upset in the Tokyo Dome ie. Tyson vs Douglas and Nery looked super confident during his ring walk and it was a pretty badass one, whereas, conversely, not so much for Inoue's. That's why Inoue got dropped - he lost the ring walk battle and at home too.

    Good performance given it's his 4th weight class and Nery is a quality fighter and a dangerous puncher and he also posed problems stylistically for Inoue too who, as said, was falling short with his shots which I think was exacerbated by the tension he must've been feeling after getting dropped so early. But once Inoue relaxed and found his groove it was only a matter of time. Would've liked to have seen Nery take more of an ass whooping for his disrespect though

    Tank has a better IQ that’s why he does not get caught early. I was watching it and thinking he is a bit open and bang. Recovered and got away with it whereas with some other guys he would be done.

    The way Inoue brushed off the knockdown like it was nothing and stayed composed is very impressive as well.
    That was a perfectly timed counter from a naturally bigger fighter while he was still cold and it took him 20 seconds at most to recover.

    Tank gets hit significantly more than Inoue and throws less than half the amount of punches per round.

    Casimero LOL I mean it would be funny to see him get KOd but he's the Filipino Rolly of the division.

    Aleem and Goodman are decent fighters but not interesting fights.

    Murodjon is the only real interesting fight left at 122 as someone who actually has a shot at winning.

    Goodman just has that Aussie fighting mentality. If They could make Inoue Goodman in Australia I will be ringside.

    Inoue is a beast. He got knocked down in the 1st round, then spanked Nery like he caught him trying to steal from the cookie jar.

    Disappointed that Anna Sawai wasn't a round card girl. Sad.
