    Sweet

    On Boxing day too

    When Inoue euthanizes oompa loomp Tapales he will become undisputed in two divisions in just one year and 13 days

    He acquired the final belt at 118 by beating Butler on Dec 13th 2022

    Bit of trivia: Tapales will be Inoue's third Philly fighter in his last four fights

    Inoue becomes 2 time undisputed this December. Tapales will probably do a bit better than Fulton against Inoue but still won’t have any chance at all to win.

    Might as well have the winner of Wood-Warrington to step in the ring after Tapales goes out.

    Looking forward to this

    Hope Inoue isn't getting cocky & taking things lightly, want another highlight reel KO from him preferably from a body shot as the last one on Fulton was with a head shot

    I think he may call out Casimero

    He already said he wants to fight Casimero, Nery (US most likely as Nery is banned in Japan & Arum did say Inoue will be back in US next year once), & MJ at 122 & if he wins them all then move to 126

    At 126 I don't think any current belt holders will be a serious threat to Inoue but if Otabek manages to get his title shot of the Wood vs Warrington winner I believe he will win the belt & from what I have seen of him, Otabek can be a problem for anyone at 126 including Inoue
