What an 1d1otic comment. Inoue has been on the canvas twice, by Mexicans, even though he stood up and won, his chin is not the best.

It's not the samething as the dropped happened cause of losing balance thats why you never see him doing chicken legs. His chin is amazing.

Picasso doesn't perform like them though, he is a fighter that capitalizes on his dimensions and work consistency when it comes to his skillset. Nery and Cardenas are twitchy heavy handed better rounded boxers with better footwork. Similar to the Nonito Donaire from the first fight. Donaire did better because he landed combinations, and is also a much sharper counter puncher compared to Nery and Cardenas, just smaller in size.

Think people are in denial that Inoue has been hurt in past fights just because he is undefeated and won all quite convincingly when it happened, that's a risk when fighting top level opponents and it happens (certainly happened to Beterbiev, Bam, Nakatani, Bivol, Usyk, Bud and etc), Donaire caught him breaking his orbital bone, Nery dropped him, Inoue waited till near the last number count and then played it safe by clinching and moving in the backfoot. He recouped in the next round. Similar thing happened with Cardenas to a lesser degree.

If it could mention any past professional boxers at Super Bantamweight that could be an issue, think Israel Vazquez would be more of a 50/50 shot at the fight. From what I seen from Vazquez starching fighters 7 out of 9 title defenses reviewing his fights after his death have been impressive to me, the two defenses that went the distance being Rafael Marquez who he beat twice, one being stopped in the first fight and former ranked contender Armando Guerrero who only has been knocked out once early in his career. His wins over Oscar Larios X2, Johnny Gonzalez and Rafael Marquez left a strong impression. The third and Fourth bout both with Marquez, both fighters had already have been in the downslide.
