Naoya Inoue vs Murodjon Akhmadaliev

We did not see Inoue at that weight, so it's hard for me to say anything yet. But MJ is durable and strong. He can take damage.

What with those Japanese wierd games ? The other day there was a girl beating some guys ***** with iron stick if he did not answer questions correctly, WTF ?

 

Should be a great fight if it ever happens. Right now I favour Inoue. I think Ahkmadaliev hasn't ever had to deal with someone with the Monster's combination of speed and power and will struggle.

 

This is the fight to make right now. I don't think we'll see MJ against Inoue next in Vegas but I have a good feeling it'll happen in Saudi Arabia later this year.

MJ poses a threat in terms of power but Inoue continues to show his successes against southpaws. If Inoue remains sharp as usual it's going to be hard to see MJ winning but I can see him at least putting up an admirable effort.

 

An easy showcase in the US v MJ, Goodman in Saudi and Nakatani early next year where Nakatani retires him. I'm all in.

 

Are you implying that Nakatani not only beats Inoue but retires him as well? That's a bold statement.

I want to see Nakatani face off against Bam first and see how good he really is before going against Inoue.

 

Hes the best OTHER guy in the division.

Fight him, then a Nakatani coming up and then move to FW.

Sounds solid

 

Tapales is the best "other guy" in the division based on the result of their fight.

 

Akhmadaliev seems pretty one dimensional. I don’t think he got anything that Inoue can’t solve.

 

Most of inoue opps are weak in terms of power except for Neri and Donaire.You can tell Kim and Doheny shots have nothing on them.MJ can crack! He got a punchers chance.I always said only way to beat Nooya is slim is to inflict damage.Doheny and Goodman dont have that kind of power..

 

Even if you believed Tapales won that fight, and most dont, Inoue has already fought him recently....so who else should he fight at 122??

Inoue is legitimately cleaning out 122 - its impressive. Dude is beating like #1-10 after unifying at 118. Rarely do guys stick around and fortify the way Inoue has...its really impressive.

 

Which is more impressive, going up to 126 or staying in a weak division? I don’t blame Naoya tho, his chin is showing limitations.

 

Inoue brought in MJ’s conqueror Tápales to help him prepare. Great to see former opponents working together here. I think Tapales' experience and knowledge of fighting MJ first hand will certainly help Inoue. Could very well see a sharp, focused Inoue in a few weeks.
