Naoya Inoue vs. Nordine Oubaali

It didn't for me for two reasons; Donaire was setting up his shots very well with the kind of timing that only comes from experience (he just knew when to throw and when not to) and Inoue is going to learn from this. I expect his team to work on his defense stat. As stated before, this fight is only going to make him better.

Also, that nasty cut was apparently hampering his vision since round 2.

 

The cut was leaking badly. So no, not apparently. It was so the case.

 

Oubaali has to fight the winner of Nery vs Rodriguez so I doubt we will see this fight next.

 

I think Inoue in his Top Rank debut could fight someone like Joshua Greer Jr, which would be a big downgrade from his previous foes.

 

Oh hot damn I'd like to see that matchup in fairness.

 

Id rather see him take out either that scumbag Nery and/or ducker Tete first though tbh.

 

Not ruling a Rod upset out either. Nery is so crude and it will eventually comeback to bite him. He can't just bulldoze everybody. No defense either. Inoue would KO him early. 100%

 

I've got a buddy over in SA(not on this forum) Who's done some coaching and has been around most of the recent SA fighters a fair bit. He said Tete could easily compete as a Welterweight and cuts an EXTREME amount of weight. Dudes one of the worst weight bullies there is. But said that Tete is a great guy in the gym. Great sparring etiquette and just general gym behavior.
