Yeah, that should be the standard for pro boxers now. If ShoulderRoll from BoxingScene can’t do better on short notice then that is a reason to be proud.

Talk about lowered expectations.

If you lasted a round with a world top 15 pro - would you be proud of yourself? There's levels to everything. The challenge is always to fulfill or exceed our own potential - sounds like Kim did that based on his lack of notice and where he is in his career.

Somebody hold me back. Kim did what? He folded the first chance he got. Cheap import gave them what they paid for. 4 rounds.

That's fair I can tell your more of a be ignorant on the internet type guy.

Inoue is a generational talent and this kid just saved the show. He deserves a real chance against a decent opponent. Lots of world class fighters have faired no better lol
