Seen this posted on a few sites so I thought it was worth sharing. Some 19 year old Japanese kid called Naoya Inoue (2-0, 2) looks like a superstar in the making apparently. Well worth watching the video. http://www.boxingprospects.info/1/post/2012/10/naoya-inoue.html
I would have posted about oguni yukinori but he just got ko ed by a journeymen he was looking good world ranked at just 10 fights opbf title now back to square one. Why do americans tend to think when a fighter loses his 0 that there done for?
His first win over Gasca was big news, I want to know why he never seemed to be able to replicate that and actually struggled in the rematch with Gasca. Still he is very young and.can certainly rebuild himself.

lol, better than Thailand. They don't even throw them into the deep end... they literally sacrifice them. I remember Wongjakim was fighting kids making their debut when he was above 60 fights. That's just messed up
Most of the Thai kids weren't expected to do much, the likes of Tobe, Fujimoto and Kubo were expected to do something or another.
He looks fantastic, but Japan do keep throwing their guys in at the deep end. I know the US and the UK are known for record padding but the way they are preparing their youngsters in Japan a bit TOO much in the opposite direction.

Honestly i can't see him being on iokas level yes the kid is good. But he is just a prospect and if he sharpens the edges no doubt he'll be champ and not just a paper champ if he stays at flyweights he'll absolutly dominate.
108 and 112 do look insane in regards to young talent at the moment-
Gonzalez, Ioka, Casimero, Rios, Alvarado, Juarez, Ceja, Saengthep, Yedras and Jose Alfredo Rodriguez are all in the Boxrec top 50 at 108 and all under 26!

His debut was/is floating about on youtube. :)
I just watched it
Im saying boxers who fight in japan and most guys under 118 arent known in europe or america at all
The kid is very good, everything about him
Sadly like almost everyone else fighting in Japan and at lighter weights, we will probably never get to see him

Just seen that Inoue fights next month against Yuki Sano (17-2-4, 12) over the 10 round distance O_O wow! Shame Kuroda didn't beat Revecco though.
Also on that card are Yohei Tobe (4-1-1, 2) who has a win over current world champion Kohei Kono and Ryo Matsumoto (5-0, 5)
Insane matchmaking for Inoue really.
Yeah, a shame the US audiences don't get to see more of the lower weights, though it was great of Wealth TV to show the Gonzalez v Estrada and Viloria Marquez double header.
I think it's odder that the US audiences think fighters need to go to the US to make a name for themselves despite being huge stars back home. Imagine someone like Marco Huck who is a star in Germany fighting in the US, he'd get no attention in the US but get plenty in his homeland.
Exactly he won't need to make it in the states, in fact I'd be incredibly shocked if he ever did make his name in the US, though the US isn't the home of boxing any more, especially not in the weights that we will see Inoue fighting at.

Do people care about the lower divisions in the states? For some reason I don't think they care too much about guys under 118 anyway...

Knock-off Hamed. Won't pass stateside.

Very skilled and moves very nicely with a hint of a veterans touch. He's really nice I'll definitely check out for him. Hopefully he's brought along well. Thanks for bringing him up.
