    I gave Inoue a soft pass for SFLW as he was never the A-side fighter and he did try to make the fights.

    But now there is nothing at all stopping him facing MA and the reticence is really starting to bring my gears.

    Tapales Schmapales.

    MA is a former unified title holder, he's a current mandatory and he's the best opponent Inoue can face.

    Make the fight goddammit.

    If the rumors are true MJ may be lined up to fight Inoue in Saudi Arabia some time in September after Inoue fights Picasso in Vegas.

    He will knock his ass out in Saudi later this year.

    If MA had beat Tapales he would already been dealt with he didn't so he went to the back of the line.

    It's not really a duck if he's being lined up to fight later on.

    It's not a duck if they fight. It is a duck if they don't.

    I don't think they will because I smell a duck.

    I'm pretty sure it's going to happen this year, especially with Turki involved. It'll be a damn shame if it doesn't come through.

    I dont think the fight has ever warranted itself until now

    Especially since Akhmadaliev lost to Tapales.

    It's been over a year hes been the best fighter Inoue could face.

    Especially given the fight against Tapales.

    The time should have been when he fought Doheny, and then when he signed to fight Goodman.

    Now is the third opportunity.
