Inoue is 34 and failed to KO his last 3 opponents will he be washed against Bam like Canelo was ?

    He barely lost rounds in those fights when went 12 rounds. Doesn't that just mean that he's more than capable of winning more rounds in the bank without overly relying on his power? God forbid he actually starts going the distance.

    Father Time waits for no man

    You can try and cheat him but you can never defeat him

    You can try to lie to him but you can never deny him

    Age is merely a number, a number closer to the end, and all good things come to an end

    Look at Usyk he has been on the decline for a long time but many were blind to it because he's still winning. There's a reason why only 2 men in the history of the HW division have won a HW title fight at his age or older and why there is only 1 P4P king in the history of the sport who was older than him and they were dethroned at 40 y/o

    Inoue is still winning for now but not only has he failed to secure a stoppage in his last 3 fights he has failed to register a KD in any of them and he has been dropped x 2 and hurt 1 other time in his last 7 fights

    He was 30-0-0 27 KOs) prior to his last 3 fights and 20-0-0 19 KOs in his previous 20 knocking down every man he fought or if not them bailing out before he inevitably did so

    Team Bam-Rod are acutely aware of this none more so than Bam-Rod himself who has clearly and completely undeniably been trying to age Inoue out and catch him at the right time ie. when he feels like Inoue has declined enough for him to take advantage and capitalize on it

    fighting guys his size is going to make a difference. lucky for him bam is a 5'4" twig that he should be able to overpower. do what loma did to rigo. unless bam is just much better to where he negates the size advantage over him.

    This sounds like an already built in excuse in case Bam loses. Ppl talking as if Inoue is much bigger where in fact they are almost the same size one is 5'5 with a 71 inch reach ( Inoue) the other is 5'4 with a 70 inch reach ( Bam) and they started at pretty much the same weight. So if Inoue wins is cause he's better and has other attributes not cause of his size.

    Inoue had what 7 fights at bantam and has had how many at super bantam? I’d wager Inoue is doing a larger water cut than Bam. Just because two guys scale the same at weigh-in doesn’t mean they’re actually the same weight on fight night. Inoue looks a good bit more muscular than Bam, who is still not filling out at all. If Bam moved to 122 now, he’d probably barely be doing a water cut, and Inoue would be walking into the ring 10lbs heavier than him.

    Bam has one fight at 130. He's a massive weight cutter. This all Inoue being bigger bs is just a built in excuse in case Bam loses.

    If Bam thinks Inoue is too big then he shouldn't fight him it's that simple.

    Bam only fights cab drivers and old men. He won't fight Inoue unless he's over the hill. What Inoue showed against Nakatani rules him out as a Bam opponent for the foreseeable future.

    Let's break this down

    Almost 4.5 y/o at 115 vs Cuadras

    Bam-Rod

    “I was more than ready for the opportunity,” Rodriguez noted. “I only had to lose like five pounds. That was the best part. I rehydrated to about 130.”

    Antonio Vargas before facing Bam-Rod

    'Vargas 19-2-1 (11 KOs), after saying he planned to weigh nearly a rehydrated 130lbs in the ring'

    Bam-Rod told Robert Garcia after the fight that he felt Vargas' strength and power

    Naoya Inoue and opponent rehydration

    All fights at 122lbs

    Inoue 132.5lbs(+10.5) - Fulton 134.7lbs(+12.7)

    Inoue 135.4lbs(+13.4) - Tapales 140.0lbs(+18.0)

    Inoue 136.9lbs(+14.9) - Nery 134.5lbs(+12.5)

    Inoue 138.2lbs(+16.2) Doheny 145.7lbs(+23.7)

    Inoue 138.7lbs(+16.7) - Kim 136.9lbs(+14.9)

    At 118

    Inoue 131 - McDonnell 143-144

    FTR, at 25.5 y/o Loma weighed 129 in the ring for his pro debut at 126 and at 22 y/o (literally 2 weeks after his birthday) Bam-Rod weighed 130 in the ring at 115. Loma subsequently bulked up after that and started coming in heavier but he was 26 by then and Bam-Rod was coming in at 130 at 22 y/o

    Inoue 5'5''
    Bam-Rod 5'4''

    Inoue 67.5'' reach
    Bam-Rod 67'' reach

    How much is Bam-Rod coming in at now? Is he still 130 or more?

    i got eyes, ffs. the only ones who think bam is the same size are the same bunch thats full of **** about everything. the ones whos only consistency is their inconsistency, pretending reality is a popularity contest. do you remember any of those clowns calling inoue a weight bully when he was at 115? just look at the last 3 weigh ins hes been in for comparison and tell me hes the same size as his competition.
    i had hoped bam would fill out into a bigger guy as he finished out into his man body naturally, but he hasnt, he just doesnt have the genetics that inoue does, or someone like pac does. and you can see the difference by just comparing their calves. i guarantee there is at least an inch difference in wrist circumference as well. inoue is just bigger boned man.
    all that doesnt matter though, i said he would beat inoue back when he was still taking fights at 112 lbs. back when the clowns were all saying he would never even have the balls to fight inoue. and if he doesnt, then i was wrong, no excuses, im a man.
