Comments Thread For: Naoya Inoue breaks down TJ Doheny, with date in America on the horizon

[kingstip9]

I am not saying that Inoue is lying, but I am sure he is not directly negotiating fights himself. You could also ask a question - why would Sam Goodman travel to Japan at his own expense, jump into the ring to challenge the champion and then do nothing about it when the offer is presented, which I assume would be his highest payday by a big margin? I don't really know what the truth is and I suspect neither do you.

Anyway, it looks like that fight might be up next. https://www.foxsports.com.au/boxing/...273c0cc83aab16

Goodman is going to get fkn pummeled inside of 6 rounds

Speaking of power punchers, one of my favorite power punchers of all time (worth watching the videos) broke guys bones was Jose Pipino Cuevas. He broke turnbuckles, jaws, eye sockets, ribs. Not as many short punches but his half-uppercut / half hook was brutal.

He had that rangy leverage, a vicious puncher. Like Inoue, he found ways to tuck hooks to the body. His loss to another guy with rangy power, Thomas Hearns, was spectacular.

Wasn't fulton supposed to be a great fighter, or heading towards it! well he got splatterrated,

Never at any point did anyone with any sense consider Fulton to be a top fighter. Don't confuse being an American with being a top fighter, Fulton was a C+ fighter at best, in NO WAY was that s signature win, it was a name win, which is my point. Dude has not shared the ring with a truly worthy adversary, I am not talking about titles, how many tickets they sell, I am talking about a prime verifiable threat to him physically in the ring.

At first I was slightly worried that Goodman's hand injury would make December iffy or if he was even willing to actually fight, but I guess foregoing undercard with Tszyu means he is actually serious about fighting December and is willing to travel to Japan for it so that is a start.

MJ should get a stay busy against a tomato can around October/November in preparation for next April, he hasn't fought yet in 2024.

This was my point all along. Everybody was saying that Sam Goodman challenged Inoue and then backed out of it because he was scared. I questioned that logic and stated what seemed obvious to me that we don't know the truth, we don't know the full story. So in the end, it does seem like Goodman is serious about fighting Inoue and that they have been in talks all this time. Now it makes sense.

Dude why are lying, people thought fulton was going to win because he had beaten Angelo Leo, Figueroa, Daniel Roman, and had MJ on the run. Fulton was the first great 122 fighter since Barrera and morales days. So the fight between the best 118 pounder vs the best 122 pounder, people naturally thought the 122 was going to win.

Doheny going for the bloody cross

[The Big Dunn]

Inoue is fighting cans but because he’s not a certain color no one says a damn thing. It is time he fights someone.

Doheny was a bum but I think his resume over the last 3 years was very strong.

Tank fights a Doheny level bum and this site will go ape **** no doubt.

Dude dohney had 4 title fights and 1 unification fight. While tank fights guys with 0 title fights all the time and tank himself has 0 unification fight.

Please stop dude. Doheny at this stage was a cherry pick. He didn’t deserve to be in there and it showed when he quit.

I disagree. He was the favorite in all those fights. His toughest challenge to date is still a washed up Donaire. He’s not getting a free pass from me. As you said if he was someone else with a darker hue, he would be bashed for his choices.
