Comments Thread For: Naoya Inoue Knocks Out Paul Butler In 11th Round, Fully Unifies Bantamweight Division

Wow! Yes! Great win for Inoue and congratulations to him on becoming the Undisputed Bantamweight Champion!

Hard to knock out a guy whose sole objective is to survive. He was hardly engaging and leaving himself open.

Gotta love these hypocritical guys who blamed Rigo for running, but didn't blame Casimero; Martin for running, but not Teo for not knocking him out; etc, but then come after Inoue who DID knock his guy out, and got a clean sweep before the knockout to boot, even while showboating. Different standards so they can feel better about themselves.

inoue already had 3 belts pre butler but i guess what you are sayin can also be said to crawford's 140 undisputed and usyk's cruiser....

Usyk’s cruiser run was actually fantastic. He cleaned out a division that was really competitive (Hunter, Gassiev and Breidis have all moved up since then)

Inoue best Asian boxer right now. Is he the GOAT Japanese boxer??

Naoya is a bad man. How he fought Paul Butler was how we all thought Haney would fight Kambosos and didn't.

This is what actual great fighters do to guys like Kambosos (Paul butler).

Naoya should definitely either fight Casemiro and move up or just move up. Probably the greatest Japanese boxer ever at this point. Definitely the most decorated now.

competitive but one could argue its a pretty weak division...
