Naoya Inoue v Marlon Tapales

[Master]

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 time

[Master]

Football and eating all day what could be better.

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

So who's the best guy out there he can realistically fight

Inoue says he wants to stay at the weight which makes sense.

The champions above are all from America and all of them would be good tough fights for him.

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.

[Mark TKO]

Well I scanned the ratings and couldn't see anyone of note

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.

[TitoFan]

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.

Another great performance by Inoue , but also from Tapales. Makes total sense to fight at this weight again next time. I think he may be reaching his natural weight limit as the challenges are getting slightly more difficult for him.
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.
