    Something about Cardenas is resulting in a lack of angle variety that Inoue usually finds so smoothly and organically.

    Bradley gaslighting on commentary. Cardenas is definitely feeling these punches.

    Earlier when Inoue said his ceiling was featherweight, I thought "how refreshing - here we have a living breathing ATG in his prime, with the humility to admit his limits and not make stupid idle boasts of being able to fight up to welter or something".

    Now, though...starting to question whether 122 mightn't already be his ceiling. Nery at least had a reputation for being a massive hitter but getting dropped by a 53% kayo rate guy like Cardenas bodes poorly for taking flush shots from a big strong aggressive natural feather like, say, Espinoza.

    I think Cardenas definitely hurt Inoue there but it’s just not enough

    Round 1 Inoue 10-9
    Round 2 Cardenas 10-8
    Round 3 Inoue 10-9, close
    Round 4 Inoue 10-9
    Round 5 Inoue 10-9
    Round 6 Inoue 10-9

    Both men are out jabbing and trading leads in the middle of the ring. Inoue backs him to the ropes, working the body. Ramon with one twos. Slipping the return counters from Ramon. Inoue lands a vicious head shot, he's hurt. Inoue backs him to the ropes, teeing off, then hurts him to the body. Ramon spins off the ropes, lands a few hooks to the body and head of Inoue. Inoue teeing off on the skull of Cardenas.

    I haven't enjoyed watching a fighter so much since Pacquiao. Inoue rules.
