Let's see if he can conquer 126 first, guy's like Venado, Espinoza. Figueroa, Shu Shu should be the toughest fights on paper yet. Not a huge fan of his resume but 135 is a little unfair and a huge jump.

We saw what happened last time a bantamweight moved up to fight lomachenko. Granted Loma was the younger fighter in there at the time and the roles would be reversed in this match up but still these weight classes are here for a reason and I don't see Inoue moving up past 126lbs. He's already 31 years old and he's not a big 122lb fighter either. 130lbs and north of that he'd be crazy undersized

[famicommander]

****** idea.

Lomachenko fights at 135.

Inoue has never fought above 122.

Folks wanna see Inoue lose so bad it's disgusting. Can't just appreciate that dude is a special fighter fighting the best competition he can find, taking on top fighter after top fighter, champion after champion in and around his weight classes and making them look like average/below average fighters. He's already a small 122lber and they want him to move up 3 more weight classes from the 4 he's already moved up to face guys he has no business fighting just to see him lose. There's weight classes for a reason. The hating on this dude is ridiculous from these cheerleaders and these fake boxing "fans". Support the sport.

Just no respect to the lower weight classes. If you ain't fighting 135lbs or higher than you can't be recognised apparently and you have to fight up there even though you have no buisness fighting up there. Why does this guy have to fight a Loma or Tank guys hes vastly smaller than to get people to say he's a great fighter and like you said when he would lose because of that people would just say 'ahh see he wasn't that good was he'

Its more about Loma Tank as opposition more than they are 135, If they were 126 they be calling for those fights just the same, I don't think they are trying to get Inoue beat, more about they want to see him fight high profile elite guys.

[4truth]

It would make a lot more sense than fighting Tank but it still doesn't make much sense

[Slip jab]

It’s not so much that people want to see him lose, they want to see him get robbed over here and it’s only been since he moved up lol We know wtf it is.

Agree with most of what you’re saying.

But he’s not a small 122lber. He stated he walks around 140+

When Rigo was at 122 I’d say he was a ‘small 122 pounder’
