    i think today we get to see a real predator in the ring. from the old school mold. not like the participation trophy raised lot we saw the last couple days. a real gladiator.

    Better to see a predictable showcase from Inoue than the crap shows we got the last few days. Inoue’s gonna be fighting Murodjon Akhmadaliev and Nick Ball after he beats Cardenas. They’re both world level fighters that Inoue will be facing within this year so those are the fights to be excited for.

    Im thinking of taking the over on this.... so that it will go 6 rounds. Any thoughts on that one way or another?

    So they bring inoue to fight in las vegas on a sunday night where they will make the ring walk around 11pm eastern, the time where people are already sleeping because they have work and school tomorrow.

    and people are still wondering why boxing is where it is right now, especially after fridays abd yesterdays cards.

    Sure, but like I said, it's very difficult to watch fights where the opponent stands no chance.

    As boring as Teofimo-Barbosa some claim, it's still much more intriguing than Inoue's fight today.

    I expected Garcia, Haney, and Canelos fights to be total wipeouts but none of us expected them to be criminally dull and boring. Teofimo vs Barboza was literally the only fight that I was looking forward to the most out of all the fights from 2 days ago because it looked like a competitive fight on paper. It wasn’t exciting but it was certainly a great performance from Teo who did the most he could to put on a show while Barboza was gunshy throughout.

    Inoue vs Cardenas is likely going to be a one sided fight but at least you’re going to see some excitement and possibly a knockout. The fans deserve to see an electrifying performance and explosive finish to make up for the disappointing cards.

    Funnily it'll be on in the morning in Japan... On a national holiday, also Monday is a holiday in the UK. Doesn't help those in the US but it is still kinda interesting

    U.S. debut for Japanese southpaw KO artist Nakano, nicknamed "Manos de Acero (Iron Fist)". He is 12-0 with eleven stoppages professionally and went 68-9 in the amateurs.

    "Pedrito" is a 16-1 boricua whose only loss to date came in 2015 against fellow San Juan native Luis "Popeye" Lebron-Ortiz.

    First round was a feel-out. Now let's see the self-styled "next Inoue" try and cook.
