Cmon man Dissapointing All those guys would have been tough bouts... Inoue needs to start stepping up...
Only way those are tough bouts is if Inoue is having trouble making the weight. There are tougher fights for him at 118.
14 fights into his career and he already has Kono, Narvaez, Taguchi, Carmona, Rodriguez, Nieves, Hernandez and 2 Kokietgym's on his resume. Gimme a ****ing break El Chicano.
I personally think he's struggling to make the weight. Smart move. Don't see what reason he would need to dodge them for
He's supposed to be the next coming but dodges 2 Top10 p4p talents in Gallo and Rungvisai Not a good luck For now, I don't believe the Inoue hype Talnted? Yes. But I needa to see more
Ok mayBE Dodge is the wrong word BUT Gallo Cuadras Choco Rungvisai All there at he never fought 1? Cmon
I don't see who is going to make money fighting at 118. Maybe he would rather fight in a traditional division though.
Don't get me wrong, I would love to see Inoue Vs. Estrada/Rungvisai... But I think Nery/Yamanaka/Tete could be more dangerous fights for Inoue... So no ducking business and more like he's a growing boy.
Ohashi made offers to Cuadras, Yafai and Ancajas. All turned down. If he's to wait until the Srisaket/Estrada bout he'd be wasting 9+ months until September, and that's if the WBC ball. Next would likely be a mandatory against Tso, anyone want to see that murder? Why should he stay in a division where top contenders have ducked him? When it was Golovkin or Rigo screaming about being ducked neither man chased bigger man. Inoue should be applauded for it.
I don't blame him or categorise this as a duck, but what a shame. He could have become a great if he would have beaten those fighters.
Can we stop saying fighters moving UP in weight are ducking anyone? Weight classes are there for a reason. Moving up is more challenging than staying at a lower weight class.
Yes, weight classes are there for a reason...............hell, why not go from flyweight to heavyweight?! Too many fighters and fans are obsessed with going up in weight, Gonzalez made a huge mistake when he went up in weight, he was never the same..................if a fighter is struggling to make weight, then it's probably time for him to move up. I do not want to see Lomachenko go up in weight until he is ready, he has come up from 126 to 130, he should fight the other champs before moving up to 135. Lomachenko will beat Mikey Garcia if he finally adjusts to the new weight, but if Garcia moves to 140, that will mean that Lomachenko will have come up from 126 to 140, I like to watch his skills, don't want to see him slow down by being too fat!
