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

[Curtis2]

Why do writers keep saying Crapford is top three?? He´s not. Just because he´s undefeated?

Not only writers acknowledge top three talent in TCrawford, intelligent boxing fans who can recognize true skills, grit and multiple weight class accomplishments realize TCrawford’s P4P #1 identity. Sorry you don’t comprehend that.

I will always watch Inoue`s fights. he is a very entertaining fighter.

I am not even sure I will watch Canelo -Crawford, THO. Not wanna see canelo fighting again and Crawford is actually an old retired guy at this point.

Won't happen cause he fight with different style depending on the opponent. And it's his ability to win even when he didn't take it seriously. That's why inoue said cardenas was nothing like the video footage he watched.

be honest, that 2nd round KD, if it was by someone with a lil more power, it would have put Inoue out for the count... look at the replay, look at Inoue's eyes when the punch landed. He was dazed, but Cardenas aint really a power puncher.

Monster is one hell of a fighter, but he gets caught too much with those check hooks. Any higher in weight and he’s probably not getting up in time.

Another thing people are forgetting is that Cardenas has fought above the super featherweight limit before. He's cutting down quite a bit to get to 122.

He weighed in at 131.5 pounds for a fight in 2017. He has fought above 126 a total of 6 times and above 122 over a dozen times.

Naa he was fine. He himself it didn't even hurt to Murata I'm post fight interview. And you can tell cause he came firing back and got stronger and stronger. Also cardenas is puncher as he throws brutal hooks not only that but cardenas is basically featherweight in disguise. Most of his fights have taken place at 126 and 130. Inoue fought very reckless and I don't think he'll be doing that. He'll learn from this fight and get better.

Too many it's only happened 3 times. Donaire, nery, and cardenas. All three happened cause of being careless and still dominated all 3 fights. Inoue said he got careless cause fight vs going exactly he thought it go in 1st round so thats why he rushed in during the 2nd round. But inoue knows he's gonna have to keep distance and box more against MJ, nakatani, and 126 guys because he knows those are tough fights.

im not saying that he was hurt hurt.. but when the punch landed, he got cross eyed for a second.. if it was by a bigger puncher, he would have been out.

take pacman for example.. coming up in weight, he got hit flush by some bigger guy/puncher and he always said that he was fine from the punches,.. then Marquez landed a perfect shot and put him out. this is what I am getting at.. cardenas landed a flush shot, it wasnt like a glazing punch. if it was by a bigger puncher, I believe Inoue would be in trouble.

you keep saying careless.. that's the thing! you cant be doing that.. the point is that those punches landed clean. it's only a matter of time before his punch resistant wears off. right now, he can still take the punch and dominate... similar to how Manny was when he was going up in weight then we all saw what happened being "careless"..

going into the 4th fight with Manny/marquez, I never picture Marquez being able to hurt Manny since pacman has taken clean shots from bigger guys... so this is how you are feeling about Inoue... you are confident that he can take a punch since he's taken hard shots from guys like donaire, etc... but it doesnt always have to be a power puncher to knock him out.. just a good timed punch. it's only a matter of time. he better tighten up his defense and control his ego. not hating on Inoue. he's an exciting fighter.
