    If Inoue fights and defeats both Cardenas and Akhmadaliev it would be absolutely rad. And if he does indeed fight Ball in December, then he will undoubtedly be the fighter of the year for 2025. :chuck:

    Great stuff @Chuck Norris. Just hope none of those guys pull out like Goodman and Picasso. Could be the year of The Monster (again). Love it.

    Another bum for his fanboys to hype up.

    You want him to fight Casimero or which ranker you don't consider "bum" at 122

    I think Inoue will win both matches. The Japanese is truly a Monster, too bad there are no top stars to oppose him. The lightweights are three categories above him and Rodriguez is a super flyweight. There is talk of a match with Nakatani in the future, at the moment I think he is the most important opponent that Inoue can realistically face.

    If he beats these two and then successfully defends his mandatories, he's beaten everyone ranked inside the top ten of the division which is absolutely insane.

    He would then be ready to take on featherweight as there's no way he loses to Ball and Fulton.

    My sole criticism of Inoue is that he hasn't faced MJ yet, so when that happens I'll be happy.

    I understand at SFLW he wasn't the cash cow or the a side and he was continually looked over by the WBC crowd, but now it is different. Now he is the man and can literally all out anyone he wants.

    Big fan of Inoue but this fight does nothing for him(or me for that matter).

    Not sure why the poster says “At last” when he already fought in Vegas twice a few years ago.

    I am in Las Vegas the weekend of the Inoue fight (May 4th)...

    Am I better off buying a ticket now or will they be cheaper nearer the time...

    I can't see it being a sellout tbh..

    It shuts up the short memoried idiotic haters claiming Inoue never fights outside Japan (ignoring anything that happened prior to 2022)

    What kind of fight poster advertising the fight and the star fighter they're trying to entice you to watch would feature said star fighter taking the knee? It makes him look weak and like he's a quitter :facepalm:
