This fight was literally just Inoue playing with his food.

Good fight, but Tapales was a 20/1 underdog for a reason and arguably lost his last fight. I’d say there’s definitely better and bigger fights at featherweight

Well, he beat the other champion to earn the fight. You got up this early to complain in every thread about the fight? LOL

Fighter of the year.

I’d give that to Bud, since he’s the only one that beat a top 5 P4P in the most anticipated fight in boxing to become undisputed.

He never even got out of first gear. He didn't raise his level at all on this fight, he got hit for no reason clowning out there with a guy he could have stopped early.

Tapales is a tough guy but this isn't even close to a tough fight.

I disagree. Not saying we saw all Inoue could do. I thought Tapales landed solid shots and counters that forced Inoue to do use some different tools.

Of course his tool box is so complete that I can see why you think what you do.

He actually got a gift over Akhmadliev and got KO’d by Iwasa -
and I’ve only commented in one other thread LOL.

At this point, he done outshined Pacquiao as the Greatest Asian boxer of all time, no doubt

Name a hof let alone a atg in his resume? A old Nonito that has been beaten multiple times already. And Fulton who let be real isn't gonna be remembered in 5 years.

Tapales landed what he was able to because Inoue was willing to stand and trade with him. And Inoue backed off when he had him hurt several times.

This was a ridiculously easy fight for Inoue. Playing with his food.

Agree 100%. Tapales best just wasn’t good enough for Inoue. No shame in that.

Given what people expected prior to the fight, no one would've blamed him if he quit or gave up around the 5th or 6th round. He definitely tried everything he was capable of. Certainly didn't come with the Butler mindset of "lemme get my money and go home without getting too hurt"

[Just looking]

Yes. Thats what i said ...

But is it a criticism or a compliment?

Some of the people commenting need to sober up and get some sleep.
