Bruce Carrington says Naoya Inoue isn’t a boxing star unless he beats him in NYC

The fight energy is more palatable than in Japan. You can feel the energy at the Garden. No noise at all in Japan. They can fight at Wembly, same energy as the garden. A good fight with the crowd invested is magic.

 

Inoue s answer was: Sure,sure I aint ShuShu.

 

Fulton, Doniare, Taguchi, Narvaez, and Nery are all better wins than Akhmadaliev.

 

This is the sort of thing a UFC fighter would say because the promotion is breathing down their neck to create drama.

 

NOBODY is p4p until they beat James Page.

 

Beating a nobody doesn't make you a star plus Inoue is already a star.

 

They aren't. And they weren't pfp anyway.

 

Even an out of shape Fulton would whoop this dudes ass. Inoue is fighting fellow pound for pounder Nakatani hes not worried about some nobody from New York or whatever **** hole that dude is from.

 

I really love the British fight card audiences, super into the fights. The one qualm I have is whatever pact with Satan you guys have that Sweet Caroline has to be played at every fight and possibly multiple times

 

He's been inhaling the copium.

 

Carrington is a weight bully. He's 5'8" with a reach of 72". That's the size of a welterweight or at least a lightweight.

He should move up to his natural weight class and fight Stevenson.

Of course he wants to fight a much smaller man in his hometown, so he will not only have the size advantage, but he'll also have the officials on his side.

 

Alright. That doesn't make them worse than MJ though, and both Donaire and Fulton were more respected P4P when Inoue beat them than MJ was even when he had both of his belts. But, since you think that, then I'm sure you'll be glad to know that Inoue is fighting a guy in the top 5 P4P in his very next fight to clear up all these doubts you seem to have about him.

 

Bruce Carrington is just a name like the others at 126 lbs... he is a top 10 (for me that's true) who win a vacant belt with a boxer who was not active during 2 years, his defense is also not exceptional, he don't have a lot of good names on his record also.


He need to win against some names like Angelo Leo / Luis Nery / Stephen Fulton / Dayan Gonzalez / Nick Ball / Ra'eese Aleem / Brandon Figueroa for eventually call Inoue for a fight at 126 lbs.


Because there is a lot of top 10-15-20 who can eventually do the same things and same provocations against Naoya Inoue, there is many decent / world level boxers at 126 lbs.


The best and the most avoided of the Featherweight is Rafael Espinoza and then I will say Dayan Gonzalez too. The others are pretty good but far inferior.
