    Inoue should fight in Japan. In Usa people barely know who he is. He is a top star in Japan.

    Maybe go to S. Arabia for a big money.

      I don't think Ball sees the 6th round to be honest. He's incredibly hittable and his only stoppage at the world level was Doheny, who was moving up in weight and coming off a stoppage loss to Inoue in his previous fight. He couldn't stop Isaac Dogboe, Raymond Ford, or Rey Vargas and I don't think he'll be able to hit Inoue, let alone hurt him.
      I'd pick Inoue by stoppage too, but Ball is a firecracker. I expect him to go down swinging.

        I think Angelo Leo is a really good style matchup for Inoue. Hopefully he earns some fans in his upcoming fight with Kameda.

          It may not be a smash and grab. Let's say he goes undefeated this year, beating MJ at 122 and Ball at 126. Then he faces Nakatani at 122...win or lose, he moves back to 126 and tries to become Undisputed.

              Why allow your thread to be derailed by an attention seeking imbecile? Just ignore him.

                The peewee divs usually have that 1 guy and a bunch of "serviceable" opps. Quickly forgotten about.

                  His next few fights will tell us a lot i believe. The Akhmadaliev fight will be interesting. There is then talk of him fighting Nick Ball in December.

                      Don't concern yourself too much about pfp? Why did spence deserve to be pf p when he struggled with fighters in his first weight class? And bud took 5 years to fight spence. Inoue jumps right to them
