Well it may happen next year, because Inoue has said that he will move up this year and he wants to fight Yamanaka in 2018, also didn't you post the same thread on the boxing scene forum?
Yamanaka has the experience, tho he looks beatable at times, but he could be because he's faced the better fighters. Those fights he had with Moreno were good fights. Inoue does look like a monster at times, his speed, reflexes, and power make him look like a future legend. Like Yamanaka and Uchiyama, Inoue isn't you're typical, kamikaze, straightforward Japanese fighter pressing the fight, Inoue is a boxer/puncher who happens to punch very, very good. Only thing that might ruin things for him might be injuries. But I think this is definitely a fight that should be in everyone's radar. Inoue has the potential to be a big star, not just in Japan. Very fan friendly style. With Chocolatito on the slide, now it's Inoue's opportunity to shine. Devastating puncher reminds me abit of Carbajal.
I really don't care to see Inoue against Yamanka till Inoue gets a fight at 115 with either Chocolatito or the winner of Estrada-Cuadras.
