I wouldn’t mind seeing him go to Featherweight after the tournament tbh.. I think his power can carry that high
5'5, LW pretty easily. His power at 122 looks similar to Pac's at that weight, except he's much more polished.
He has nowhere near the speed of Pac at that weight, not even close. Power, its close but I don't think it's as good as Pac's either, Pac would move guys even if they blocked the punches. Inoue is just incredibly accurate, great timing and p4p power.
It reminds me some of watching peak Tszyu offensively...but I think Inoue is even better. Hard to think of a better sniper in the game right now
How do you like GRJ in that matchup? I'd be interested to see how Inoue looks to negate that level of speed.
I think guys at 122 would be better at taking his power but will still ultimately lose but not necessarily by knockout. I even think navarette stylistically will give inoue some serious problems. 126 i can see him beating santa cruz and frampton. Warrington,GRJ and valdez are 50/50. At 130 he better stay away from there. But this are all guesses as no one has any idea just how far he can carry his power.
Id honestly favor Russell. His speed is very hard to deal with unless you're someone with great movement and great boxing ability like loma. Russell has power to when he actually sits on his shots.
Russell jr is in it for the money and tank Davis would be a big money fight. Who's inoues promoter anyway?
I heard some rumors that top rank will offer him a contract after the rodriguez fight or the tournament
