According to Hideyuki Ohashi (Inoue’s gym owner) the fight between Inoue and Junto might be off, with the plan being to move to 126 if that is indeed the case. Japanese boxing fans are blaming the Turk for his role in the affair, speculating that he’s trying to build both fighters up before one takes a los. Source: This content is protected
That would be a disgrace. Unless one or both lose their next fight there's absolutely no reason for them not to fight each other next. None.
Idgaf about what anyone says. Inoue is in a different stratosphere than Junto, who has a ton to prove. Let's get as many of these fights for Inoue at 126 before he hangs em up: Espinoza Vargas Ball Trinidad Leo Reynaldo Figueroa Nunez Aleem Collins Castro Carrington If we're lucky we'll get five of those.
Didn't Junto's team talk about wanting Inoue asap so there won't be any 'He wasn't the same' narrative if they win?
Nakatani should just stay where he is if Inoue is going up to 126 an wait for Rodriguez to come up 3 pounds. That would be a great fight too
Seems like the Saudis are trying to get Inoue on their side. Ohashi probably realized it and doesn't want his charge to leave.
