Naoya Inoue vs Johnny Tapia

The Japanese wins by KO

 

who gives a f about either

rip tapia

 

Inoue is a level above Tapia, tbh.

Unlike Donaire, who had the power to hurt Inoue, Tapia doesn't have much to deter Inoue with.

Tapia had a granite chin, so he probably doesn't get stopped, but Inoue would have outclassed him and beat him up.

 

A better matchup might be Inoue vs Orlando Canizales

 

If Nat Fleischer were alive, he would have picked George Dixon over Inoue.

 

People sleeping on Tapia here, he was a tremendously skilled fighter when focused and at his best.

Its a very decent fight at SFW.

 

dude was ok and we are comparing this dude to a guy who best win was over old donaire
blah

 

Was OK, Tapia is potentislly an ATG level fighter and probably top 10 all time at SFW.

 

I don't like Tapia's chances here, Inoue is going to hurt him at some point. He'd have a rough go in making the distance

 

Donaire was shot to hell, prime Donaire stops him, Inoue won't stop Tapia so I think Tapia beats him with work rate and activity.

 

Ok Inoue beat a prime Nonito, let the hype continue....

 

There's a world of difference between prime, and 'shot to hell'. And you know that full well.

Of course, you'll "let the agenda continue...."

 

Prime Nonito was beating Vic in 2007, that was what? 13 year's ago??? Lol
