Naoya Inoue vs. Marlon Tanan Tapales & Seiya Tsutsumi vs. Kazuki Anaguchi RBR.

I just mean the length of Japan stretches most of the US East Coast. I wouldn't call it a small island. Takes me by surprise anyway

 

That left side of Tapales head was worked on all night. The punches that dropped him were glancing of the gloves but were hard enough to put him down.

 

Inoue a bit too dependent on the straight right hand tonight. There were times when he was getting outboxed tonight. Tapales is crafty and tough and is a really good operator. He was hitting Inoue really cleanly.

 

I'm out good sir's

 

Inoue said he's staying in the meantime, right? Who's even to fight in 122 aside from Nery and Casimero?

 

Tapales did FAR better than I expected, dude has that dog in him.

 

And Inoue fought two sharp southpaws one after the other, Fulton he destroyed, with tapales he got given alot of work and needed some thought.

Inoue wasnt as sharp tonight as ive seen him, but still he punches through guards and knocks people out, Tapales wasnt asleep, but he couldnt get up, he was crawling like a baby.

 

Noticed that too. Some spots I feel like he's just winging it

 

As he should, because he was lower level and still landing so much. You don't have to be blind and say that you saw in that fight.

 

Tapales is one of the best Filipino fighters ever. I know it’s a damn losing effort but to even get a shot at being undisputed while being unified heading in is unheard of for the country. Hope to see him come back stronger. Wonder if he’ll move up or stay and wait until Inoue inevitably goes to 126.

 

Tapales protected the body better than anyone I’ve seen Inoue face with that sideway stance but to protect body he had to give up head.

 

126lbs watch out! Leigh wood might want to move up

 

He was standing in front of Inoue, excellent fighters don't do that and you know that.
