To defend the judges, both the fighters fought in a pretty consistent way and the landed punches were similar, so of you preferred one style to the other I guess you score it that way, I clearly preferred the style of rojas so I would have the scorecards inverted but maybe this isn't a robbery..... or maybe it is gbp trying to expand to massive China.
Inoue looks very impressively determined here... but a jap who describes himself as an agressive guy who likes to fight on the inside (surprising for a jap :S)... just seems like a dream for munguia who is massive... I hope inoue does good though I like Japanese boxing
Close 1st round, gave it to Munguia.
1-0 Munguia.
Koichi Wajima would come in there to turn Munguia over his knee. Sounds like Munguia already plotting his jump to 160Quote:

The 2nd round was also close. Gave it to Munguia again.
2-0 Munguia.

Looks like munguia is just sparring here which is good for a young fellow, not really a contest though.
3rd was clear for Munguia for me.
3-0 Munguia.
I am hoping munguia goes mental and kos this fellow soon. .. I ant to switch over for fedor inevitable demise :S
Good round for Inoue.
3-1 Munguia.
He'll be fun while he lasts Munguia and glad he's not going all cave man in his showcase here. He'll step it up breaking him up, Thurman started out by sparring Lopez too. The Japanese fighters are always a pleasure and bring the fire, always. Inoue trying to stake a claim but getting pastedQuote:

Japanese boxing is great but their style really only works at the lower weights, it makes for fun watching but jimeny Christmas inoue is taking a lot of damage.. japs are maybe the best in the world for absorbing punishment and just keep on coming.
Gave Munguia the 5th.
4-1 Munguia.
Inoue's got nothing when Munguia comes forward throwing.
Munguia is really going for it now, he's landing some good damage but also tiring himself, despite my initial scepticism this is actually a good learning fight for munguia, jap git can take the damage and come back, munguia is massive though so he should be safe here.
Inoue's a tough kid, soaking up these shots. 6th was close. Gave it to Munguia.
5-1 Munguia.
