    Interesting fight. Lora is much more accomplished with some brilliant scalps, and is probably more unearthly with his freakish, rhythm-breaking head movement, but his strategy wouldn't work with Inoue IMO. Inoue has very good footwork, and is both an excellent judge of range, and capable of cutting off the ring well. I think that, coupled with his power, spells disaster for Lora.

    Although we're yet to see Inoue vs a dancer like Lora, much less one who can fight on the inside so competently. I'm thinking it's close on the cards, in an awesome fight, before Inoue gets a stoppage. Although I can see Lora taking it on a nip and tuck decision.

    Inoue KO in 1 round different level, Inoue is great at setting up his power shots and finishing

    Yes, and he got ko’d in two rounds by someone who is also not on the level of Inoue

    Gaby Canizales? There is nothing to say that Inoue is better than he was, and both were past it for that fight. Especially Lora.

    What fights have you seen?

    Good description and good call. I think I would enjoy this fight, and that Lora would frustrate the hell out of Inoue. But ultimately I would lean towards Inoue stopping him late...but I am a big Lora appreciator and enjoy watching not only his skill but his showmanship. But I think Inoue is just another level.

    He’s flat out admitted he doesn’t watch fights. Just one or so minutes and picks based off that.
