Inoue has been on a TERRIBLE run lately His career started off strong but since he been matched poorly At 115 while all the champs like Gallo/Cuadras/Rung/Choco were all battling InOue was not in the mix. At all Take it for what its worth... Did he just not want to do war with them? Was his promoter content to feed him softies for highlight reel KOs? Were they not confident in him? No one will doubt Monsters skill/power But 2018 will he fight the best in his division?!!!!
Yet his resume is 3X better than Mikey's with 1/3 of the number of fights. Where's your criticism/hatred of Mikey? Make no mistake --- Tete, Yamanaka, and Nery are more difficult fights than Estrada, Rungvisai, Cuadras, and Roman. Tete is 5' 9" w/ serious firepower and will present a huge challenge for Inoue. Nery's a big puncher as well. But I agree... He should fight the winner of Rungvisai-Estrada before moving up. My guess is he's drained at Superfly.
Let's be honest, BW is a wasteland. I mean Ryan Burnett seems to be the consensus number 1 which speaks volumes. Inoue should smash through the division. Meanwhile let super fly continue facing each other.
