Balls a good fighter but Inoue is a great one. But that jump up in weight brings a level of uncertainty which is rare in an Inoue fight were he is usually an overwhelming favourite. This fight really intrigues me, were used to the Monster being the one bringing the aggression but we know Ball will go right at him and look to pressure Inoue like nobody has done before. Could be Inoue blows him away, could be Ball drags him into a really tough fight where Inoue is forced to box and move to avoid the rough house tactics of Ball. Either way I'm favouring Inoue, his speed, his footwork, that brilliant jab should see him come out on top. But I think it will be a really fun fight for however long it lasts.
has Inoue ever fought someone like Ball? Japanese dudes do NOT fight like that. They’re much more technical, much less rough/dirty. I’d still favor Inoue, but Ball is going to test him with a situation he’s never been in before.
I don't think so but then Ball has never fought someone like Inoue who might very well have the power and the counter punching to make him hesitate coming in as aggressively as he does. Will be interesting to see how the other copes with the others style and who will be the one forced to adapt.
Yeah that would be crazy to see, 11 inch height disparity you don't really see at any weight division and definitely not at this level with two of the best in the division. Could ball even reach Espinosa's chin?
He can reach the chin, but he needs to be at a perfect distance to do so, and of course the angle of attack also has to be perfect. What makes this fight especially intriguing is that both men are very aggressive.
Don't push the horses Inoue has to get by MJ first before he can make the colossal leap back up to Brit Level again and Brit Level Ball isn't a featherfist stringbean like McDonnell or Petrified Paul Butler. Ball is proper Brit Level Brit who can punch and he runs towards the smoke like a maniac not away from it This content is protected This content is protected
