    Well deserved

    I think the only other one's you can make a case for are Bud, Foster (won the belt at 130 against Vargas & KO'd Hernandez in Mexico), & Benavidez but Inoue clearly accomplished more by becoming undisputed a 2nd time with back to back title fights with no tune ups & he stopped both men

    No complaints here. Undisputed in 2 divisions in under a year is impressive.

    Well deserved and this is coming from one of the biggest Bud fans you'll come across. Monster absolutely took 23 by the horns.

    Well done the Little Monster from Japan and a pleasure to be able to watch a great fighter live in 2019 at the Glasgow Hydro Arena.

    Well deserved, Bud may have been the first man to become two time Undisputed in the four belt era, but by god Inoue was the quickest to do it. On top of that he made his first fight at a new weight class against a man considered the top of the division, and hardly broke a sweat doing it. Man had a hell of a year in just two fights, and it's good to see him get recognition for it! :thumbsup:

    Good decision well deserved but I can’t help but think that Loma could’ve gotten this award if he had not been horribly robbed in the Haney fight.
