Omar Andrés Narváez vs. Naoya Inoue

Narvaez will win this one,,... Too much experience,,... Inoue is too green in my opinion,,...

 

If he knocks out Narvaez, I'd say that might just be enough to secure him FOTY honours, depending on how it's done. A victory like that might well be enough to allow Monster to overtake the likes of Crawford and Kovalev.

 

It's the rangy sort of striking that gives Narvaez problems (Orucuta, Seda). At least it does until the old men outlasts his challengers and runs away down the stretch.

I expect Inoue to handle him for the first half of the fight and whether he can keep up with Narvaez's attrition is what makes this fight so big.

 

Narvaez will win but I'm rooting for Inuoe.

 

Wrong.

There are literally EIGHT other important fights before the end of the year.

 

C'mon, man. You're being a boxing hipster for the sake of it.

NONE of those fights feature TWO Top 10 boxers in their divisions. Rigo, Yaegashi, Ioka, Takayama, Uchiyama are all fine fighters.

But the helm of the super flyweight division and Fighter of the Year is at stake with Narvaez-Inoue.

 

A boxing hipster? First time I've heard that expression. Doesn't change the FACT that IB's contention is incorrect.
