Comments Thread For: A Complete Unknown: Naoya Inoue makes even mismatches compelling

[BirdSong]

I would put it another way. I like watching Naoya Inoue. I just enjoy watching him fight. Everything he does is electric, exciting. It almost does not matter who is in the opposite corner.

does canelo have the same effect on you?

Fun to watch him but you can't call this contest compelling. I know it's in fashion to blow this Japanese talent but there's no need to for this fight, a mismatch is a mismatch.

We move on to hopefully bigger and better things.

might be if u are a canelo fan!!!! which u are??? !! lol

No, it shouldn’t be about being anyone’s fan. After today I learned that smashing a tomato can can be compelling.

Let’s see if those same standards are applied equally across the board.

That's a creative way to phrase "knockouts are fun."

I'm right with you. When they talk about Naoya Inoue, I struggle to think of a fighter who will make him go life and death in the future. Hats off to Ye Joon-Kim for giving it a go, he only lasted two rounds less than Luis Nery and there are a fair few names on
Naoya Inoue's record that didn't manage to go four. We're watching someone special.

Not at all. Recently (since Bivol) all his fights have become boring to watch. Bivol spanked him and embarrassed him. Floyd outboxed him but Bivol outboxed him and beat him up. That took something out of Canelo. I have never seen his face look like it did after those Bivol flurries. He KNEW he was not the best.

Saying he cant find any threats is no excuse. He is not looking for a threat. 126 has plenty of threat. They don't call it "JR." feather for nothing.

I want YOU guys to apply YOUR standards equally across the board. That’s the problem, you won’t.

Mismatches haven't been compelling since baby Mike Tyson.
