ESPN+/FujiTV: Teraji Kenshiro vs. Ganigan López II & Jamie McDonnell vs. Naoya Inoue RBR

If Inoue fights and beats Rungvisai, he's arguably top 3 P4P.

 

I had actually expected Inoue to use a high guard stance like he did against Boyeaux, beside that, Inoue fought very well, he didn't waste any unnecessary enegry, placed his shots well and overall beat the dog**** out of McDonnell.

 

Holy. HELL. What the ****? That was a demolition

 

mcd didn't have an answer for inoue's left hook.

 

I believe now that Inoue is the superior puncher to Rungvisai in both power AND punch placement. And he's obviously faster. At this point, as much as I love Rungvisai, he would be a sitting duck and get stopped by Inoue.

 

And based on how the slow-of-fist Rungvisai was tagging Estrada (credit to him for surviving) to the body with frequency, I'll go with Inoue stopping Estrada as well.

 

Come on its not just this fight where Inoue has been class!

 

9 rounds of boxing in six fights today including FOUR FIRST ROUND stoppages.
Sick.

 

question: people can't back out of the WBSS right? no last minute cold feet? no "sorry broke my pinky toe can i fight the rank 50 guy as a warm up" stylo thing?

 

It's not a fight or die situation. Fighters fight to get paid. They leave the tournament, they don't make money. And they're probably prohibited from fighting for a certain period of time. Simple.
