Chocalatito vs Inoue?

[Kirkland Laing]

Eventually it'll get made. Inoue's peple will want their guy to get more experience and more miles on Chocolatito. Choco seems to be losing his KO power at his current weight so HBO may lose interest soon. If/when that happens he'll go back to fighting in Japan and the fight will be made. HBO don't seem to be even keen to pay out to make the Estrada rematch so they definitely won't fund Inoue coming over -- unless Choco's star rises in his next couple of fights and/or their budget increases.

More chance of it happening before HBO signed Chocolatito, as he would have travelled to Japan for it. HBO won't have that plus have to sell Inoue to their audience first. Plus most quality Japanese stars don't travel as they don't have to... boxing is extremely successful/lucrative there.

You can tell by the limited views/replies on here the lack of interest in the smaller fighters. There are plenty of people that consider themselves a "hardcore fan" that wouldn't know Monster from Godzilla.

Talked of it last year and wondered about inexperience in Inoue but not now. Gonzalez is a tremendous talent but honestly it feels like hbo is trying to 'blow him up' without fully committing and I think he might be growing stale with a fat contract and co maining Golovkin cards. He traveled like a gypsy prior but hasn't had 4 straight fights in same Country in about a decade. Why didn't they push a Cuadras rematch rather than this opponent who fought under an alias a fight ago? I swear somewhere in Thailand there is one single fighter named after 10 gyms on any giving night. The flyweights have enjoyed a respectable run stateside with guys from Tapia, Johnson to Carbajal or Arce getting massive exposure but remain largely tone deaf with talent from Japan. Inoue would appear to have every bit the talent of Arbachakov but sadly the same anonymity when it comes to the network big dogs putting their heads in the water.
