(PRIME) Naoya Inuoe vs. (PRIME) Marco Antonio Barrera

Inoue is great but Barrera was greater

 

Barrera didn’t have the firepower to win a fight like this.

 

Great great match up. Barrera was a level above anyone that Inoue has fought and I can see him possibly dropping Inoue as well given that he has a great hook. Inoue hasn't seen anyone with the skills, aggression, and sometimes dirty tactics that Barrera had and would have to fight tooth and nail to win. Barrera was also very versatile as well, although I do think Barrera's best chance to beat Inoue is to outslug Inoue which comes with a lot of risk.

50/50 fight for me honestly but I wouldn't count out Inoue's chances to hurt Barrera bad and stopping him late.

 

Barrera for sure, but inoue is very good
Love watching him

 

Tough pick but my money would be on MAB(post Jr Jones version). Too smart, too skilled, too proven.

 

Inoue's record IMO could be better but I think he gets a close points win over Barrera.

Fantastic match-up.

 

At 122 MAB, I think has the skill and firepower to keep Inoue off him for a decision win.

 

Right now I'd pick Barrera--his chin would hold up and he'd take Inoue deep, similar to the Prince Naseem fight.

But the time is approaching when Inoue is going to surpass him. Even given the hiccup the other night.

 

Great fight, but the Barerra from the first morales fight beats Inoue imo.

 

Let's just put it like this, Junior Jones do Inoue worse than he did Barrera, and Morales would damage Inoue.

The proof is in the videos.

 

Junior Jones has no chance at all with Inoue. He’s got great power but also a glass chin with poor stamina and recovery. He’d get crushed by the first well placed punch that Inoue hits him with and gets finished off swiftly.

Inoue against Morales and Barrera are 50/50 fights that would be pure savage entertainment.

 

32 years old never has a fought a legend but he does have the power and tools to beat Barrera.Cardenas isn’t the best Mehiko has to offer.Never heard of him until this week.No idea what marquee name out there to improve his resume.

 

You're delusional lol

 

Yeah a prime Junior Jones at 122 Is no slouch, poison is no Nery or Cardenas that's for sure.
