    Inoue KO2, and why exactly is it a fantasy match up? There's isn't some Tank-Inoue like size disparity between them. Inoue started at 108, Jesse started at 105, then jumped to 108 in his second match, and hasn't looked back since. There's zero reason why they can't fight.

    Jesse Rodriguez would already have to face the winner between Kazuto Ioka and Martinez to unify the Super Fly belts. It's by no means certain that Jesse "Bam" Rodriguez will make it to Naoya Inoue.

    For me Naoya Inoue will KO him very easily in 3-5 rounds.


    In my opinion, Jesse Rodriguez is going to be a bit overhyped, so let's wait and see if he can unify the Super Fly category or, failing that, face one of the Japanese champions in the Bantamweight (in my opinion, he'd only stand a chance against Yoshiki Takei).


    He's fast but seems to have a weak chin, and fell to a 34-year-old Estrada who hadn't boxed for 2 years and was coming off four wars against Chocolatito & Wangek, & a very recent one against Carlos Cuadras.

    Bam would have to go up 2 divisions for the fight to take place, its not the right time for Bam to chase Inoue. We want Ioka.

    We are sick of Bam fighting washed up old fighters. Enough with the excuses go to Japan and fight Inoue now. If he is as good as they are hyping him up to be what's the problem?

    Bam just beat an unbeaten Fernando Martinez though, that was a very good win for him. He'll most likely make a statement performance against Antonio Vargas and they'll announce a fight with Inoue next in Japan.

    Shakur's talking out of his ass though about Bam being Inoue's kryptonite. Inoue has a knack for southpaws.

    Feasting on older guys at lower weights has BAM too hyped… but he is exceptional.

    Inoue would dust him in less than 7 though.

    Based on Bam's last performance against Vargas how are his odds looking against the Monster? Better or worse?

    Hearn has spoke to both Camps in regards to a Super Fight for January 2027,so its not a Fantasy Fight it looks like it’s actually happening, Shingo who’s is Inoue’s Trainer and Father wants his son to retire but Inoue is going to fight on . Inoue is getting up in age but I still heavily favour him over Bam .

    Worse. Need to see how he does in his next fight. He was nowhere near defensively responsible enough to be in there with Inoue.

    Defensively Bam got hit a lot more than expected but I think it says a lot more about Vargas doing really well before succumbing to Bam’s power. Of course Inoue presents a bigger problem but you can’t discount Bam’s ability to hurt and finish his man. Bam still has youth on his side.
