Inoue V Nery Live thread

[messi807]

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
#5 Jamie McDonnell TKO 1
#5 Juan Carlos Payano KO 1
#6 Emmanuel Rodriguez KO 2
#4 Nonito Donaire UD 12
#8 Jason Moloney KO 7
#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.

I’ve seen people do the same with Gennady Golovkin’s resume. I’m not buying it. Those fighters on the list are here today and gone tomorrow, losing against other B and C level fighters. It’s about quality not quantity.

He could fight 100 top 10 ranked opponents. He still wouldn’t have a resume like most ATG’s.

Like a Floyd, Pac, Canelo, Oscar, B Hop, RJJ etc. and certainly not the level of wins.

Quality. Not quantity.

Literally all 14 of those guys won legitimate world titles in their careers and Inoue beat all of them while they were ranked by the TBRB in the top 10 of the division he fought them in.

Wild how this thread is now getting overrun with jealous Canelo fans.

I don't think it's Canelo related. More like fans who don't really pay attention to the lower weights, and are waiting for Inoue to face someone they recognize. Fans don't seem to realize that Inoue is already 31 years old. He's not a young gun who's moving up due to weight difficulty.

Inoue should stay at 122 because he has an all-Japan affair with Nakatani. If Junto can become Undisputed at 118, that makes their match-up even bigger.

Just when I think you can't get any more r3tarded

You just this guy legit had a heart attack in Round 1. Came back to life whilst in a flood of tears after Inoue starting coming back

[messi807]

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.

Ford
Kholmatov
B.Figueroa
Espinoza
Venado Lopez
Nick Ball
Bruce Carrington
Robeisy Ramirez
Angelo Leo
Joet Gonzalez

126 has a ****-ton of comp and amazing match-ups. I’d say it’s probably even better than the Leo-Frampton-Nonito era and alot of these guys would beat them.

Inoue should go to 126***, very soon.

[messi807]

Look at the Ring Ratings... The guys ranked 1,2 and now 5 have the same most recent result. A defeat to Inoue.

He's fighting and beating the best in the division. He's doing it quickly too.

He's going to have to move up again but I don't think you can knock the standard of his opposition.

He beat the best in the division already against Fulton, great win. The rest are just has-beens that have already been whitewashed, stopped or handed L’s. Those fights are pointless..

[messi807]

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.

Yeah and Morales went as high as 140.. what a beast.

130 should be Inoue’s ceiling. I think 135 would be too much

[messi807]

All 14 of those guys are world champions. Golovkin only beat 6 legitimate world titlists in his career (Kassim Ouma, Daniel Geale, David Lemieux, Kell Brook, Danny Jacobs, Ryota Murata), not including the Canelo robberies.

No offence, but anyone can pick up a title nowadays - so those stats mean very little - even more so in the smaller divisions where there’s a bigger gap in competition.

[Damn Wicked]

Inoue's athleticism is really impressive. I don't think I realized how great his feet are before. Extremely fast-twitched fighter. He's 31 years old...I don't think he can maintain that kind of athleticism for much longer. Small guys tend to age faster as fighters. It'll be interesting to see how long he can keep this up! Pretty impressive fighter right now though.

On steroids
