Don't. You'll have people saying that

 

I love how they pronounce it e nu e. When it’s pronounce e no oo eh

 

Shame this fight is so early in the morning here.

 

How some people pronounce lomas name as lemonchenko amuses me too lol.

 

If trying harder means the fighter who's being screwed throws his strategy out the window, becoming desperate/reckless by necessity, and walks into something that changes the fight (Garcia-Morales I springs to mind), I'd say it's bad. Granted, he'd be headed for an L one way or the other, but it just adds insult to injury if a guy takes punishment or gets KTFO as a consequence of chasing a fight he shouldn't have needed to chase.

Open scoring would be a fine thing if boxing scoring could be guaranteed to be straight-shooting. In that case, the point you're making couldn't be argued with — more urgency would be induced from fighters facing a scorecard deficit, therefore adding excitement to some fights that otherwise may've been destined for routine conclusions.

 

Nice! But, actually you are probably enunciating a little too precisely; you can get away with just:
E.noh.e　　　　　　（井上）いのうえ
E for Email　　　　　　　　　い
Noh for No you don't　　　　のう　
e for enter　　　　　　　　　え

Even though の = no (as in nothing)
and う = oo (as in tool)
are separate mora (close to the Japanese equivalent of syllables)
The Japanese will often combine vowel sounds when speaking smoothly into what we would just think of as one elongated vowel (or diphthong)
so　のう = noh (as in Noooooooooo! [Padmé!])

 

I like it! As in "in no way" can you beat this man!

 

Bruv, don't correct me. I grew up in Tokyo. @CST80 can back me up on that.

 

Just to correct you here. The second part of Inoue's last name is 上 which means up. And also pronounced oo eh.

Time stamped for you. The Japnaese dude talking is not saying e noh e, he's saying e no oo eh.
