Comments Thread For: Naoya Inoue?s U.S. return would round out Cinco de Mayo spectacular

[famicommander]

So the plan is
vs #5 Cardenas in Vegas on May 4
vs #1 Akhmadaliev in Tokyo in September
vs TBA in Saudi Arabia in December

Quite surprising that they're doing Akhmadaliev in Japan and December in Saudi Arabia.Is that the Nakatani fight? You'd think they'd want to do that one at Tokyo Dome and MJ in Saudi. Weird.

He should be fighting Akhmadaliev on the Cinco de Mayo card, not Picasso or Cardenas.

To make it a more interesting event.

Fight my dude MJ next. Biggest fight under 154# that can be made next.

[DJrabit]

Leo & Lubin no longer with PBC that is a good move .

[komandante]

Inoue is avoiding Casimero a legit challenger to his belt

I guess they are sticking to Ball for December in Saudi. Team MJ probably thought it is more definite by bypassing Top Rank and just jumping to the Ohashi card, given that Top Rank and Matchroom weren't likely to hug and make out at this point.

I don't think Ball has any type of shot in that fight, personally. He should have enough to get by a faded Doheny next, but he gets hit way too much.

Media is reporting MJ as the leading candidate next.


Screw all the haters, Inoue runs from no one.
(despite all of his other mandatories making these excuses one by one....
Goodman 2x & Picasso got the biggest 7 figure payday in their careers, but still gone like the wind...)


Let's see if MJ really puts his words into action.
