    Wow Inoue, witnessing modern legend.

    Respect to Tapales, he thought he had the key for the last few rounds.

    Tapales did way better than Fulton surprisingly.

    Man P4P is hard because it doesn't account for the fact that one weight division might have a lot more talent in it than another but it's hard to deny Inoue.

    Tapales has nothing to be ashamed of.

    Props to Inoue, definitely one of the best fighters in the sport, if not the best. Credit to Tapales, actually won a round or two and fought well but he was fighting a monster in there.

    Everything going along fine and two swift punches to the face and it's all over.

    Magnificent effort by Tapales, he made a shitload of new fans with this performance, the man is an absolute beast, and proved that the win over Akhmadaliev (which I predicted) wasn't a fluke. Bravo!!!:clap:

    Tapales took many punishments. He could not take it anymore.

    Tapales acquitted himself very well but Inoue seems inevitable.

    Alright, we got ourselves another two time undisputed champ in the four belt era. Even better, since his next desired opponent and mandatory overlap, this one might be able to actually defend his status before getting stripped! :D

    And he lost most of the rounds got dropped multiple times and viciously stopped. "Waaaa, someone got hit by a skilled crafty awkward southpaw with power!" Welcome to boxing.

    Tápales showed up to give Inoue a good fight instead of just being a punching bag. Credit to him for making it competitive. He showed heart and toughness.

    Inoue continues to show why he’s the best. Good fight.
