    Vasquez game as a British badger

    Espinoza is going to be a problem for Inoue. Firstly, he's massive and must rehydrate to at least 210-220lbs after the weigh in

    And secondly, he's obviously extremely rangy

    And lastly, he's really good and has power, good speed, excellent punch picking and variety, and those uppercuts are a nightmare to deal with

    He's there to be hit so maybe a puncher like Inoue will make him pay for it. He might possibly cave in quickly under that power but Inoue hasn't even fought at 126 yet, let alone against a freakish giant for that weight class

    I met him in person 6 months ago, I’d say around 147 if I had to guess.

    That's the kind of size disparity that makes a mockery of the sport. How can a guy be proud of fighting opponents so much smaller than themselves. He should eat a couple steaks and at least fight at 135, because what he's doing now is cowardly behavior.

    He's 31 too, so that's a testament to his weigh-in weight

    Sorry @IntentionalButt I know you love Naoya Inoue, and Inoue is an Aries, so he really should love you, because you're a Scorpio. But clearly the man has it out for you guys. Donaire is a Scorpio, Nery is a Scorpio, Doheny is a Scorpio, Butler is a Scorpio and yes, Cardenas is a Scorpio.:lol:

    I am not complaining about the fight being in the US but is he coming here cause of the money? He sells out in Japan and they said he seem a little peeved having to fight in Vegas. So why are they forcing him ? I love the time though instead of a 6 am fight.

    You could always take the Boxing Helena route, and sacrifice your arms or legs, for the mere honor of becoming the man's punching bag.:sisi1
