Naoya Inoue vs Brandon Figueroa @ 126

I think Inoue stops him around round 7

 

Figueroa is Tailor made for Inoue. Inoue KO8

 

If Inoue takes his power up with him then I can only see an outcome with Figueroa being counted out or saved by the ref.

But it's a fight I'd like to see at some point if Inoue does decide to move up. Not many fighters try to consistently put pressure on Inoue for fear of being countered but Figueroa is one that would try, he's going try to swarm Inoue and he'll get taken out brutally or put Inoue under the kind of pressure he has never had to before, I suspect the former.

 

I never seen Figgy hurt. This is a high risk low reward fight for Inoue like Nery. If he’s gonna take that risk he should fight Espinoza, but idk if he can beat him tbh.

 

Figz gets hit too clean and way too often in fights, he's never felt the power that Inoue brings before I just don't see him going past 8 rounds given his style unless he somehow changes it and goes into survival mode like Butler did. Espinoza would be an interesting fight, but Inoue stops him to, most likely with a body shot.

 

Espinoza is too big for Inoue. If Robeisy couldn’t stop him or beat him idk if Inoue can.

 

Inoue is an elite fighter, its going to take a truly special fighter to beat him. I don't think Figz or Espinoza are those guys.

 

Robeisy is special too. Robeisy and Espinoza are touuuugh fights for Inoue

 

What happened to Mexican boxing they use to rule these weights.Now you got guys like Fig and Nery.

 

You realized that 2 of the champs at 126 are Mexican right and Navaratte rules 130?

 

Yes he has a decent chance , he has the physical advantages and is the naturally bigger fighter. Depends on whether his power can rock Inoue

 

No, he’s too easy to hit and will be eating power shots from Inoue that will eventually put him down.

 

Thats entirely possible, but he'll be hitting the biggest fighter he's ever been in the ring with.
