    If the fight is held at the Albion Park Hotel then Inoue is in serious trouble lad.

    Goodman ends the Inoue sushi train. Torpedoes him midships & sends him to the bottom of Wollongong Harbour. Man down!

    By knockout though? This would be just Sam's ninth, in nineteen outings, mind.

    For to be honest I prefer Casimero than Goodman.

    That's an overdue ass-whooping. Inoue vs. Casimero has been made, or on the verge of being made, several times over the years.

    My pick was made on the basis that the fight takes place in Australia. Japanese mini-submarines have a poor record in Australian waters.

    The punch that dropped Inoue last night may have resulted in micro-buckling of Inoue's chin. If Inoue travels to Australia to fight, don't be surprised if he implodes like the titan submersible.

    No idea who this guy is and I’m pretty sure he won’t wanna know who he is either after getting in the ring with Inoue.

    I really like Sam Goodman and he's pretty decent. And whilst he's not exactly a "feather fist" he certainly doesn't have anything that will remotely bother Inoue.

    Inoue KO 3.

    Goodman will go to sleep on the canvas for the first time in his life. He can't suvive the first 6 rounds against Inoue.

    I know nothing about Goodman and not much more than that about Zinad. I watched a brief bit of footage of Zinad and I thought he looked a bit sloppy but he's tall, rangy and he looks a like a big puncher.

    Inoue is just far too talented for Goodman, who is a good fighter, but has nothing to bother Inoue with.

    Zinad is tall and rangy but his resume is weak. Bivol will take him apart.

    ...he's literally just beat the top 3 best 122lb fighters and is fighting a mandatory next and youre criticizing? This is after he had the fastest 2 weight undisputed run maybe in history?

    Hate runs deep

    Hes beaten Alleem and Doheny, both top level guys at 122 and was a respectable amateur.

    Probably a top 3 guy in the division, top 5 at worst.

    Basically, a guy that deserves a shot.

    Doheny is still somewhat relevant and is serving as a good gatekeeper for the division. Id prefer him
