What is Naoya Inoue up to?

Broke his hand

 

Yeah, injury.

 

Damaged his hand Vs Narvaez, will be back in December by the looks of it against Carmona or Parrenas

 

A whole year of early-twenties prime down the drain, ugh.

 

Horrible injury to end what was a meteoric rise.

WBC already building up Roman G vs. Cuadras for the future. Having them do face offs at events and both parties expressing interest in a match down the distant future.

 

He seems to be in love with the sport so I don't see it, he's been in the gym and around the others at Ohashi (his bro, Matsumoto, Hosono, Hara, Yaegashi, lil Matsumoto) pretty much since he beat Narvaez.

 

Inoue vs. Tete sounds capital.

Butler has just enough going for him to really give the boy a test. (5" height advantage, superb boxer in his own right, southpaw)

I can see Inoue folding Tete in half with a left hook on the body or just as easily Tete connecting on that somnolent uppercut to catch him trying.

 

He really did mess up his hand apparently, was due back in August, a few months before scheduled, but he either messed up the hand again or else it never healed properly the first time, probably the latter. That's the price you pay for having monstrous bombs explode every time you hit something :think
