    The honour of closing out 2025 belongs to Kazuto Ioka I’m afraid :D

    Can Inoue hold up to his part of the deal?

    I have the vastly underrated Joe Martínez right up there with them in the modern ring announcer holy trinity. :thumbsup:

    31% of fans think Picasso is going to win? Picasso looked good and very competent from the limited footage I saw but Inoue got lesbian nukes in both gloves and he can knock your block off even if you got a British or Mexican mandible

    Inoue should beat Nick Ball and retire...

    True. But this feels like THE event. Ioka definitely deserves his flowers for a great career. Would be nice to see him go out with a win.

    I've texted @LilButt (he's at his mom's), but he was on YouTube at quarter of 2 so not looking optimistic that he doesn't snooze through. :lol: :shakehead:

    Different sport but Merab was upset earlier this month going for a 4th defense in 2025.

    Probably the last fight we see Inoue still in or close to his physical prime, he will start slowing down noticeably from now, especially if he moves up again.

    If you didn't already know him, Inoue with his blond afro could easily be taken for a Yakuza sidekick in a schlock action movie. :sisi1

    The one that stands at his boss' hip and nods along with all his trash-talk while snickering & filing his nails or something.

    Then later he fails to kill the protagonist and chops off his pinky in shame.
