Naoya Inoue vs. Terence John Doheny & Yoshiki Takei vs. Daigo Higa - Round by Round.

dis could be the most tactical inoue has ever been in a while compared the aggressive slugfests he takes some time but i don't see this dude taking inoue away for more

 

He is never going to win on points and every chance he gets wiped out anyway.

Big lad who should at least try and land big.

 

This is so pointless. Tj is way too slow. Inoue isn’t even being offensively and TJ is still barely throwing so there isn’t even the threat of him landing something big. Going back to bed.

 

Bit of blood on TJ's face?

 

Round 2

Inoue is giving Doheny no quarter, planting the ball of his left foot down inside Doheny's right big toe. Inoue is faking the high jab and scoring hard rights on the stomach. Doheny just jabbing and backing up, juking side to side to stay off the ropes.

10-9 Inoue

20-18 Inoue

 

Doheny is only looking to go 12 rnds.

 

If Doheny makes it into the second half of this fight, maybe pigs can fly.

 

Doheny finally shows a bit of ambition

 

Yeah TJ won that fight clean

 

Round 3

Inoue is looking to skewer Doheny through his navel with that right hand. Doheny tries answering in kind with some long lead lefts on the midsection of Inoue. Doheny pawing a right jab into the guard, using it as more a smokescreen than a punch intended to score. Doheny trying left uppercuts swooping in or cuffing right hooks off the jab. Inoue picking everything off well on his gloves. Inoue jabbing in. Doheny slapping Inoue's left glove aside with his right. Big right hand on the body by Inoue just before the bell.

10-9 Inoue, close

30-27 Inoue

 

Decent round from Doheny, Inoue looking unusually hesitant

 

He's letting the hands go now thankfully, not doing too badly when he does either.

 

Good round from Doheny, seems like Inoue is trying to let him tire himself out a bit

 

Doheny is very powerful so not too surprising that Inoue is wary of him.
