Inoue V Nery Live thread

[Mexican_Puppet]

so he got dropped by a ****ing bum in round 1 and thats a great performance? he is lucky he is fighting people who could be blown over by a strong gust of wind because in heavier weight classes you cant get away with having a poor defense, he'd get chinned

Thats because he is not black, american or mexican.

Thats why nobody said anything.

Yeah, he is a great fighter but not that great, and his resume is.sh.it.

And his defense too.

He needs to fight 126 a historical division that normally has elite talet.

But he will be in 122 fighting bums after bums.

That fught with Goodman is horrible...

[messi807]

I love how he always has his next top ranked opponent ready for him.

Goodman September and MJ December if he gets past that.

Another 2 fights absolutely nobody wants to see.

Goodman who went life and death with Aleem & MJ who already lost to Tapales. As pointless as the Nery fight, who got stopped a few fights ago.

But thats the thing hes not at fault his weight class around him have no names. He had a oppurtanity when 115 was hot but ya unles she goes to 135 this era is weak 135 and below. But he shouldnt have to go to 130/135.

He's not going to find many big names in his division. Just the way it is.

He's an all time great in the smaller divisions. It just is what it is. The world is never getting too excited about a 122 pound man.

Inoue just defended his Undisputed crown...something TC@147 and Jermell@154 didn't do. Inoue's legacy will be just fine.

He can defend that belt 1000’s times over against B level fighters. It’s not going to help.

Manny Pacquiao had never been unified, better yet undisputed. Neither had Floyd been undisputed. Inoue will never reach that pinnacle.. no matter how much Butler’s, Nerys, Rodriguez’s & Moloney’s he fights.

I agree on their take on Canelo facing Berlanga. It’s such a crap fight.

I don’t think he should have to. But the argument will always be how thin his resume is - in regards to elite fighters.

[BattlingNelson]

A monster he is.

That's not an argument.

#10 Ryoichi Taguchi UD 10
#1 Adrian Hernandez TKO 6
#1 Omar Narvaez KO 2
#8 Kohei Kono TKO 6

#2 Nonito Donaire TKO 2
#8 Paul Butler KO 11
#1 Stephen Fulton TKO 8
#2 Marlon Tapales KO 10
#3 Luis Nery TKO 6

Hernandez, Narvaez, Donaire, Fulton, and Tapales were all the top rated fighter (or 2nd rated with Inoue himself #1) in their division at the time Inoue beat them. Those were all fantastic wins and anyone who tries to minimize them is a clown.

True but its more so their just isnt that much in this era in terms of big names. I mean 122/126 was kinda hot back in 2011-2016 era with Nonito, Mares, Leo, Frampton. Espcally with HBO and Showtime actually being the go to networks building fighters.

[Malvado]

Yeah bad decision. Although he did mention his walk-around weight was 140 ish.

Manny Pacquiao as well as Floyd went as high as 147/154 whilst only walking around at 144-150 throughout there Welterweight days & being immensely undersized. 130 would probably be his ceiling, I’m guessing.

Barrera and Morales also walked at that weight (141-143) during camp when they fought at 122-126. Wouldn't be shocked if Inoue acclimates up to 130 at the end of his career.
