      I really don't like to see Inoue playing with his food like this and taking shots to the head for no reason. He carried Tapales to put on a show.

        Are you high? Exposed?

        He was toying with a fighter levels below him.

              That’s a fair point. He likely realized it was the tenth round and Inoue was still fresh as a daisy.
              He could see Inoue was starting to conserve energy, starting to prioritize contact over power. Once Tapales switched to high guard, Inoue could fully commit to the right hand because he was more sure they were going to land.

                He was exposed in a fight where he won every round, dropped his opponent twice and stopped him?

                  Inoue was never going to lose that match ifit went to decision, but big credit to Tapales he probably made that go atleast 4 rounds longer just with his heart alone.

                    Who at 122/126 is as good as him? The lower weights right now are not elite until about 135lb and that is too much for him and wouldn't be fair to ask of him. He's a small guy himself.
