The guy who made this post is a Crawford fanboy (aka the guy that had a higher KO percentage as he moved up to welterweight). Take that as you will
Similar to Crawford's very own, like he did to Brook and Spence. Such guys are gifted with such short yet devastating punches. They don't need to charge such punch from far away.
Crawford stayed at JWW and WW for years. Inoue moved between 118 and 122 in a year and has nothing but KOs to show for it which by the way are hos 3rd and 4th weight classes. I am not in any way attacking Inoue. Hos technique is phenomenal and most if not all of his KDs and KOs have come from a masterful torque/technical accumen. The Nery KDs just seemed a little bit different. Maybe it was me? Maybe the RyGa fight has me being unduly skeptical?
The 1st KD was a great counter punch but it didnt seem like his feet were planted, more of an upper body torque. Was surprising to see that have so much power especially in r2 when guys are very fresh. 2nd KD was pretty much a repeat of 1st in that it was an upper body toqrued hook and not a planted hook (like Floyds fanous check hook)
Eh Nery didnt jump right up either. Definitely got stunned. Just seemed weird. I'm a HUGE Inoue fan and hes rightfully #1 PFP. He's already an ATG to me and I dont even think he's 30 yet. Just saying that something about his power seems unusual
This is his 5th weight class and he’s still producing devastating knockouts. But at the same time nery has been stopped before by Figueroa (had a close fight with Fulton). You gotta wonder at what point his power will be considered normal. Also I still believe king Ryan is innocent
Nery and Butler both said Inoue's power is nothing crazy. It's just where he's hitting his opponents with his speed and accuracy that's causing the damage.
Absolutely he's suspect. Anyone going up divisions and outpunching everyone is suspect. And as for Beterbiev, he's effectively been proven to be a PED fiend with the 'abnormal' HGH and testosterone (at middle-age also). So in the end he wasn't magic either. Most of the time common sense/observation wins out. If someone is a massive outlier and destroying people without looking like they should size-wise, it's probably because they're cheating. It's the same in all sports.
Inoue's brother has one of the lowest KO% of any current world champion in the sport. Just 25% Crawford has a KO 100% at his third weight which is 12lbs above his first one and he's working with Vic Conte, is looking big and very muscular, and and is about to challenge for a world title at 154 which is 19lbs above his first weight. I'm not accusing him of taking PEDs I'm just applying the same rules to him Inoue's started out at 108lbs and is now at 122lbs, 14lbs more
Crawford couldn't hurt Klimov, Beltran or Burns but is koing everyone at 147 (even though they were all bums besides Porter pr in a career ending car crash)... hmm.. that's fishy.
Not at all, I was actually impressed nery took some extremely hard shots and didn't go down. He is usually more chinny than that. First KD it looked like inoue broke his nose.
Man, how many of you all remember seeing some very weird Matthysse knockouts? Dammit, Bone. You made me Google that and now that's in my search history.
