    Bam should fight Christian Medina @118 in September, Takuma Inoue @118 in December, then Naoya Inoue sometime in early to mid 2027.

    Ok, well Bam has better defense than Inoue, and he also has a better resume.

    Only reason Inoue has a shot at beating Bam is because he's a lot bigger.

    The fact that were talking about Bam moving up for a super fights, but not talking about Inoue moving up for a mega fights tells you what the odds will be.

    Imagine Bam getting dropped in his prime against a fighter of Nery's caliber... ?

    How would the fight with Tsutsumi go?

    I think personally he beats all 118 champions.

    I'm not sure KO22% Takuma doesn't sleep Bam-Rod out cold before Bam-Rod even gets anywhere near his brother who he's clearly trying to age out

    Tsutsumi feasts on southpaws, Bam gets his feces pushed in. How the hell are people not gravely concerned by what they saw tonight?:lol: He was getting pushed around and beaten up by one of weakest guys in the division.

    Bam is the better pure boxer, while Inoue is the more athletic fighter. I wouldn't say Bam has the better resume, though. That said, I'm a big fan of Bam.

    You are coping hard. Both guys have been moving up. Bam has stated Inoue is his ultimate goal. But here you are fan girl all sorts of excuse already.

    Oh incase you missed it. "Bam who do you want next. Whoever my team wants me to fight." Couldn't man up and say Inoue.

    Won't argue about resume with a crazy fan.

    Everyone needs to take a deep breath and pump the brakes. This was his debut at 118. Vargas is an incredibly weak titlist, with a glass jaw, who isn't a big puncher. He was pushing Bam around, roughing him up, and marked his face up. Bam was impressed by his power. Tsutsumi, Nasukawa, Masuda, Medina, and Takuma are all levels above Vargas. Not sure he gets past all of them.

    Hernandez, Nakatani and The Monster are at 122.

    Yeah, Bam needs time to grow into 118. Let alone 122. If they push him right into a fight with Naoya, it’s not going to end well. I hope his team pumps the breaks on this a bit after this one.

    To Inoue's credit, he has heart, and a chin. Those were not flash KDs, they hurt Inoue, he's just lucky he wasn't a woeld class finisher

    Good stoppage by Bam, but judging by how he struggled early and how he looked taking shots from Vargas, Inoue kills him. He should try to fight Takuma.

    Sergio said Vargas was chinny so why is the KO that great?

    Not to be crass, but Seiya Tsutsumi, the guy who beat Takuma Inoue. The last two southpaws he faced were Masuda and Anaguchi. Masuda went on to brutally stop Donaire. While sadly Seiya beat Anaguchi to death. He's a very dangerous opponent for Bam. So he'll probably swerve him like the plague, since he's not a glass jawed pensioner.
