    With this kind of an opponent? What the **** are you talking about? Tapales just beat one of the better fighters in the sport and perceived second best in the division in Akhmadaliev, also being the first man to stop Teshigawara was no easy feat. Just because a guy has a loss or two on his resume, doesn't mean he's some low class terrible fighter, I don't give a **** what the odds are, most of the oddsmakers are casuals like you evidently. But even then, they got it right didn't they? You clearly haven't watched many matches of Tapales so you're talking out of your ass. I expected Inoue to win easier than that, but knowing the grit and balls of Tapales, seeing him rise to the occasion like that, tickled me pink, because I knew he had it in him.

    You're a hater, and an increasingly nasty one at that. Instead of deriding Inoue, praise Tapales for a gutsy excellent performance.

    I understand what you're saying but I think you're exaggerating a bit. Tapales didn't land many, many shots. He landed some shots. Tapales was a double belt holder and a two division world champion. You aren't giving Tapales enough credit and you're making it sound that unless Inoue's fights a perfect fight he didn't do well.

    Isn't that an oxymoron ;)

    But, yeah, Inoue dropped some rounds

    Yep, that is why I said I wanted to read Inoue's post fight thoughts on his strategy in this fight, will be looking for the Japanese post fight interviews where he will go into detail

    I’m actually glad that Inoue is deciding to stick around super bantamweight a little longer rather than just move up right away. Gotta defend the belts and maintain his dominance in the division.

    I’d love to see him face MJ, Nery, and Casimero next year.

    Did you just criticize the Super Bantamweight division while praising Bivol's performances in the barren wasteland that is the light heavyweight division? :lol:

    Yeah, I'm done; you aren't a serious person.

    I think he proved that by beating Fulton, the top dog, and then beating Tapales, who beat the other top dog. What's your problem processing that?

    I said that he land many shots on Inoue, who is best of the best below 135, so how I'm not giving Tapales a credit ? are you kidding me ?

    The undoing of great fighters like Inoue is getting too ambitious. Moving up too fast. He actually looked like he belong in this weight class tonight. Didn't have it all his way physically
