    Let's say the 3 fight pro and super green Naoya (3-0, 3KO) from the Taguchi fight vs. the developing Bam from before last night (14-0, 10 KO).

    Both are with Teiken Promotions and are probably on a collision course in 2-3 years (122 pounds). Bam said that he'd KO Inoue in a single round.

    Three fight Inoue was still a light flyweight and, as you say, he was pretty green. Bam has gone up and down the weight scale a bit but, for the most part, he has been fighting as a flyweight and knocking people out. This makes for an interesting fight. In the end I think Inoue who is a couple of levels above Rodriguez would find a way to win a decision.

    Yes. He was slugging a bit much in the Taguchi fight. Very raw. But the left hook to the body was there. His development has been incredible.

    Inoue should be looking up (122 ) not looking down (115).

    Bam said he walks around 130. He's just not cutting as much weight.

    Right now, Inoue would just be too good and too big for him.

    Give it a year or two and let Rodrriguez get some more experience and let him physically fill out a bit more and this could be a mega fight.

    Also, this is the kind of fight that Inoue needs.

    A big American-Mexican star in the making. Could help him cross over to the mainstream more.

    These are tiny men. Bam could fight Inoue at 118 and the size difference wouldn't be much.

    Not that much?

    He looked small against Cuadras who is a 115lbs'er.

    Rodriguez is still able to make 108!

    He's young. He drains down. He'll keep growing. But if he just fought at 115, going to 118 isn't something crazy. That's 3 pounds north and Inoue is a skinny little dude. Looks like he weighs less than Cuadras on fight night.

    Anyways, this thread is about 3-0 Inoue vs. 14-0 Bam.

    Cuadras weighed 125 pounds 30 days before the fight.
    Doesn't Inoue weigh 130 on fight-night?

    Current Inoue way too big and strong for Rodriguez. He puts him to sleep. Will still be a good fight in a couple years if Rodriguez keeps progressing even if I would still take Inoue all day

    I selected "tko" for Bam on accident. I meant decision. (no way Bam KOs Inoue) I absolutely love Inoue and would pick him 100% now, but he didn't look nearly as great at 108, and, as he himself said, was weight drained. I think Bam would win a decision. Sad to see I was the first person to pick him, I should have left it alone/
