Comments Thread For: Explosive Naoya Inoue recovers from knockdown to stop brave Ramon Cardenas

Last night they were good at making me laugh. I really liked them last night , as I said, just for the laughs.

The jokey chemistry was so good last night (not including Tessitore) and you could tell they were having fun. I laughed, too, at Bradley giving up on pronouncing the Spanish names.

i said this before and i'll say it again... a game mexican fighter will be the only one the beat inoue!! a boxer type will not beat inoue. you gotta be game, come forward, throw and exchange with inoue. this is the only style that will give him problems.

I love the parallels of this weekend. People like to talk trash about fighters that are "brawlers" or get hit too much, etc. This weekend was the perfect example of what folks wanted to see. You literally had hit and move fighters for 2 nights in a row producing zero knockouts (barely any knockdowns) and mostly universal agreement that it was a horrendous two nights of boxing. Then comes Inoue to save the gawd damn show or sport. His fight had me jumping up and down at times because it was exciting as f**k. Sure, he got knocked down, got back up and continued to fight balls to the wall and it made for the best moments in boxing in what it can produce.

This is what is entertaining, this is what would of had folks jumping out of their seats if it was main event Friday or Saturday night. For anyone that talks crap about fighters who are brawlers or they're not technically sound on all aspects, I don't give a f**k. This is what makes boxing exciting and would grow the sport. No way in hell would you want to sit through the first two nights again and say you got hooked to boxing because of those two nights.

Rafael?

height difference is huge. I can see Inoue losing or struggling against Espinoza. But any game mexican fighter who has decent skills and is willing to exchange will give Inoue problems like what we saw last night. Even Nery was able to catch Inoue. Inoue loves to exchange and throw 2-3 combos, and at times, I feel like he leaves himself open too much when he's throwing those combos.

Naa Inoue would do well and beat Espinoza cause he knows that's a tough fight and take it seriously. Inoue didn't take cardenas seriously, infact he said MJ is the tougher fight so he won't fight against MJ or 126 guys the same way he did against cardenas. Also inoue needs to use cleto reyes cause winning is cutting his power in half.

yeah but the height and reach difference might be too much for Inoue..

man, let's stop making excuses about how he didnt take cardenas seriously.

and if it's true that he didnt take cardenas serious then it goes back to what i said that being too active will be his downfall because some fights he will not get the same motivation to train hard vs other fights.

i just see a game mexican fighter giving inoue problems in the future and possibly even hand him his first L... it will be against a mexican fighter. im not mexican by the way.

You dont have to convince me. The speed alone would overwelm Espinoza. That is why I need to get him back here. The fact that Espinoza eats leather like menudo will get him KOd. Come on, give us some monster.
