    I am probably the only one not remotely interested in this fight. I dont think Junto is nearly enough ready for someone like Inoue. This is a huge step up in class. He at least needs to clean up 118 and then maybe ill be interested.

    Junto isn’t as ready as he could be but they’re both on the P4P list and are the same size. It’s not a mismatch whatsoever

    My apologies, I had another well known Inoue hater on another social media platform coincidentally say a very similar arguments (except he was serious) that I thought you were the same too.

    According to him Inoue stopped fighting fellow countrymen and only picking on "overrated foreigners" to inflate his worth without showing his actual skill level against guys known to Japanese public (ie domestic boxers) to trick the casuals.

    No need to apologize my humour often flies over people's heads and understandably so for those unfamiliar with me and my posting

    :lol: That's amusing because I made that up and I had no idea someone else had actually levelled that ridiculous accusation against him.

    It's almost as ridiculous a criticism as him needing to fight in the US when he has already done so numerous times and having to undergo random drug testing when he does so all the time too

    bro is there a possibility of an unification between tsutsumi and takei? would love to see a fight between 'em. Tsutsumi already fought now but Takei will be again up on Inoue undercard in december yet his opponent is unknown

    Takei vs Chocolatito would be my choice. Would love to see Roman trying for that fifth division title.

    Wouldn't mind seeing Chocolatito vs Tsutsumi as well. That would be an insanely fun fight.

    Inoue vs Nakatani is definitely going to be a huge event for Japanese boxing. I can't wait.

    That particular dude is infamous for years to the point where the other posters are in agreement that he is schizophrenic or has some kind of legit mental disease. He literally posts over 200 posts on a daily basis in total, and replies to his own posts in agreement but is totally obvious from his grammar and posts. Became too much of a pain to endlessly ban his literal hundreds of accounts that most people just consider him an unremovable stain that is stuck on the board.

    By the way his arguments has switched the last few years from ducking Nery and Casimero at 118 and waiting for old Donaire and Butler getting the belts to go "undisputed", then how he was ducking Fulton when Inoue delayed the fight last year due to "phantom fist injury" hoping Fulton just cancels the fight, and after Fulton switched to arguing how he chose a featherfist champion to fight while hoping someone defeated MJ, and then was ducking MJ and going undisputed against a guy that lost to Iwasa (Tapales). He then said how Inoue will duck Nery, MJ, and the undefeated Goodman to "flee to featherweight" claiming to have cleaned out 122, but when Nery fight actually happened he switched to how Inoue is too scared to go up to featherweight to face the actual competion of foreign fighters and such, but now seeing the Japanese takeover of 118 claiming that the Inoue lucked out in fighting weak foreigners to get the belts and won't have won if he had to face Nakatani/Tsutsumi/Nishida/Takei.

    To summarize, for devoted Inoue haters he's too scared to face foreign fighters until he faces them which then they are overrated and would lose to domestic Japanese fighters thus his wins being nothing special. He's still hanging on Casimero's stick though.

    Even Tsutsumi isn't able to fight an unification just 2 month after his last fight, plus I think Takei's opponent is already on a final negotiation stage and all but completed with just details left. Rumors said Takei-Chocolatito which I'm not sure how true, but they were in talks well before the October card. I really think they weren't planning to hold the announcement until that was complete as well, but due to the IBF jumping the gun about the purse bid they decided to officialize it to keep away the unnecessary questions.

    I think Tsutsumi's first fight will be the mandatory defense due to Antonio Vargas, sometime in February when they plan to have the next Teiken Amazon Prime card. Takei probably will have a defense in December then probably have a well deserved break until around May next year, then lead up to the huge Takei-Tenshin fight in the fall.

    He sounds like a deranged hater/mental patient who needs to be sectioned.

    Ridiculous completely baseless criticisms

    Most of the Inoue hate I see has come from Fulton fanboys and those awful YT channels. They hate on Loma, Clenelo, and many others and consider those two and Inoue ''hype jobs'' whilst they literally worship at the altar of actual hype jobs and fighters who aren't fit to tie their shoelaces or who wouldn't dare take 20% of the risks they have and do
