Inoue sharper and more accurate punches winning round 6. All his fight at the moment but Tapales coming forward and having some success.
Inoue is winning the round's against Tapales but having to work hard for it.
8 nil
Inoue letting his hands go but Tapales too experienced to fall so far in round 9.
Inoue stops Tapales with a body shot in round 10?
Destructive and p4p the best in the world.
I know sod all about these weights these days. Is there anyone there to challenge him?
It was a big right hand through the middle that stopped Tapales.
Inoue will have to move up weight again but no way can he unify for a third time.
Great achievement. Enjoy boxing day fellas.
What you mean he can't unify for a third timeQuote:

Inoue has unified at 2 weights now the 4 belts so going up to featherweight and doing the same would be unprecedented.Quote:

OK. Thanks for the info.
Don't worry about not naming any of them I'll Google them myself
Even if I did you would not know who they were.Quote:

Caught the highlights on a hazy drive. What an undeniable force we’re blessed with. Generational talent. Lots of fighter of the year talk Bud or Inoue. I honestly don’t see it that close with Inoue. The best laid plans vs Ramirez went up in smoke after he was upset so be interesting to see his next step.
Expect an obsessive Pac/Loma type following for Inoue.
I've been "obsessively" following Inoue since before most typical boxing fans.
So count me among that crowd.
Floyd never got this much obsession and attention. :)Quote:

It’s refreshing that he’s not making the “money moves” , it’s all about his legacy and career.
Hopefully he can beat Nery (who is another highly accomplished ex champion deserving of the fight) and maybe move up one more weight and clean up.
But if he doesn’t think it’s realistic , he will do the right thing.
Amazing talent.
Tapales and Fulton and Nery aren’t just ex champions , they are excellent fighters. No cherry picking here.
naoya inoue v marlon tapales, just in case anyone still wants it

I'd pay a lot of money to see Prime Guillermo Rigondeaux Vs Inoue
Prime Rigo was something
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kfOfz2fBHQ&t
Inoue hasn't beaten anyone on Rigo's level, but then Rigo too has never faced anyone as dangerous as Inoue. Pick em fight that would have the experts divided.
It’s worth considering that Rigo completely schooled a prime Donaire, and Inoue went life and death with an older Donaire several years later (but during a career resurgence). Yes he stopped him brutally in the rematch, but I think it’s safe to say Donaire is at the end in that one
Rigondeaux would be a very tough matchup for Inoue.
As to the fight ? Think the post fight pic says it all.

Tapales looks like an domestic abuse victim after the fight. Inoue looked like a member of the BTS boyband

By the way the silence is deafening when it comes to news about the Japanese fighter (Kazuki Anaguchi) who was on the Inoue - Tapalas undercard. He was knocked 4 times, convulsed and then hospitalized. 24 hrs later still have not heard any news about him. Just checked on Japanese twitter & news with 穴口一輝 (how his name is written in Japanese) & no updates on his status there either. I hope he is ok, don't need another Boxing tragedy
Inoue is doing special things :feedme:
Former two-weight world champion Carl Frampton thinks Inoue would be wise to avoid a fight with the American, Gervonta Davis.
"No doubt Inoue is a generational great,” he said on X.
"But, the talked about fight with Tank would be an absolute mismatch.
"I'm not even sure he beats the top featherweights."
Frampton finished by saying: "Inoue vs Lopez tho?"
Suggesting that he does want to see Inoue try to become a five-weight world champion against IBF featherweight titleholder, Luis Alberto Lopez, who won the title by beating Josh Warrington.
Inoue will revel in his big win before targeting more belts in 2024.

Anaguchi was floored in the fourth, seventh, ninth and tenth as he lost by decision for the Japanese bantamweight title.
He passed out after the end of the bout and was taken to hospital.
Doctors performed an emergency craniotomy to remove a subdural hematoma on his brain.
Sadly though, Anaguchi never regained consciousness.
On Friday, over a month later, he was pronounced dead.

Shit sorry, I did a “Brock” and meant to press like rather than dislike. Apologies. RIP.Quote:
