Perfect technique combined with world class speed. Japanese efficiency at its best. Tough to beat unless you are absolute elite.
No. It was a wrong translation. He did not say that he felt he lost the 1st round. He just said Manny gave him a lot of pressure in the round. And actually he did not lose the round. All the refrees gave 10-9 to Inoue.
It's almost quite difficult to change how good he is technically (and from a defensive point of view) because his fights are usually over in about 5 ****ing seconds
I’ll compare mine to some other p4p fighters Inoue Power - 10/10 Speed - 8.5/10 Defense - 7/10 Offense - 9.5/10 Footwork - 8/10 Ring IQ - 7.5/10 Jab - 8/10 Counter - 9.5/10 Chin - largely untested so I’d go for 7/10 8.3 average Loma Power - 6/10 Speed - 9.5/10 Defense - 9.5/10 Offense - 10/10 Footwork - 10/10 Ring IQ - 10/10 Jab - 9/10 Counter - 9/10 Chin - 8/10 9.0 average Usyk Power - 7/10 Speed - 9/10 Defense - 8/10 Offense - 9/10 Footwork - 9.5/10 Ring IQ - 9.5/10 Jab - 8.5/10 Counter - 8.5/10 Chin - 8.5/10 8.6 average Crawford Power - 8.5/10 Speed - 9/10 Defense - 9/10 Offense - 9/10 Footwork - 9/10 Ring IQ - 10/10 Jab - 8.5/10 Counter - 9/10 Chin - 7.5/10 8.8 average Beefman Power - 7/10 Speed - 9/10 Defense - 9.5/10 Offense - 8.5/10 Footwork - 6/10 Ring IQ - 8.5/10 Jab - 8/10 Counter - 9.5/10 Chin - 9.9/10 8.4 average Golovkin Power - 9/10 Speed - 7/10 Defense - 8/10 Offense - 9.5/10 Footwork - 9/10 Ring IQ - 8.5/10 Jab - 10/10 Counter - 8.5/10 Chin - 10/10 8.8 average
His skillset looks so good to me. The only things i'd like him to straight out is his defense and especially his awareness after finishing his attacks.
How do you not give his offense a perfect 10? He is ruthlessly efficient, creative in his punch sequences, and every single shot he lands counts. His jab should also be a 10. That thing is FAST, ACCURATE with HEAVY POP. And why is his Ring IQ so low? Inoue seems to know exactly where he is at all times and he's always in position to do damage...
Inoue's punch acceleration is unreal. He can pull a full barrage variation of power punches without pause. This is a rare talent that very few boxer have. His body mechanism is excellent. And he has very strong boxing fundamentals. Reminds me to the great Ricardo Lopez.
Great post,I said long ago on here that Emanuel Navarrete would be Inoue's hardest fight & I still think this.Any other boxer in lower weights Inoue beats.
People still underrating his skillset. I read "Fulton would school him", "Prime Rigo would school him"...what the ****??? Did you guys watch any Inoue fights yet? He has a master class jab, his footwork is insane especially the angles he's creating with it. He's a sniper too. He's by far the best PURE boxer between BELOW 130 pounds. There is nobody who can beat him there. People who say otherwise are just biased as **** and can't see the truth because they have to suck some dicks from their favorite fighters.... I'm not even a huge Monster fanboy or so. I like to watch his fights but thats it.
Bump. I think people are still underrating Inoue’s boxing skills and ring IQ. Inoue will definitely show his full arsenal and put his skills on display once he finally gets in the ring with Fulton.
Not only his skills but his speed. He's by far the fastest guy on anyone's pound for pound list, even relative to his division. He's underrated as a speedster. But to be fair to some of these guys, back in 2019 his defense really was a lot worse and so his skills overall were less impressive.
