They arguably pushed Iwasa too fast as well (though I imagine he will go on to win a world title at some point) and Hirofumi Mukai (his next bout is a hard one as well!)
Way to fast. And he's not alone. Two other fellow prospects took there first L recently. Yukinori Oguni and Shuhei Tsuchiya. The Tsuchiya one you can kind of see coming. Cuz he leaves himself wide open looking for the knock out. So he was at risk. Oguni was opposite. He has no power. He boxes to win. Him losing was surprising
Talking about Wake he looked REALLY good last time out on route to stopping Eita Kikuchi, fair to say he's much better than his record indicates.
Anyway back to Inoue, he will be facing Ryochi Taguchi for the Japanese Light Flyweight title in March. The once beaten Taguchi is ranked #3 by the WBA and a victory opens up a very real possibility of Inoue v Ioka in a chance for Hideyuki Ohashi to get revenge for Ioka beating Akira Yaegashi.
Ioka VS Inoue is my Boxing dream. Most Japanese fighters have no problems facing each other and this fight is a possibility..
I gotta go with Inoue.. He's the greatest Asian prospect ive seen since Jung Koo Chang.. Maybe even better.
Inoue is one of those fighters who comes around once every 50 years.. IN terms of natural talent, he's above Kazuto Ioka imo.
He's on that Nonito Donaire level of natural talent..
Apparently Inoue is in negotiations for a world title fight in April.
Naoya Inoue in negotiations for a world title fight in April! - Asian Boxing
Inoue vs Ioka would be nuts!
Inoue ismore talented than Lomachenko .
Moment of truth!! Inoue is in much tougher than Lomachenko, believe that. ..
Hernandez is a battle tested man while Inoue is barely growing up. He's a boy wonder but a super fighter ! dam i can't wait for this superfight..
You mean to tell me that Lomachenko is more talented than this super kid? lol gtfo
Inoue has that x factor. He has that " special something " about him , it's similiar to how i felt when i first saw Nonito Donaire or even Roy in his prime.. Inoue has that..
I dont see it in Lomachenko..
Inoue just knocked narvaez out in the 2nd rd!!
Omfg. Roman gonzalez was planning on challenging the winner so this super duper fight is on the horizon!
