How come? Does it seem like he got his focus on this bout late, or is still on the match on May.

His activity in multiple camps in 2025?

No it's because Picasso is really damn good. Can box and can moves better than Cardenas. And he looks bigger than Inoue. This is a trap fight. Inoue gets the decision if it goes to the cards but he might get beat up regardless. It could be a real war for him to get through this. Picasso's opposition is meh but he's still 32-0 with 17 KO. And he's looked great. He's also 25. I wouldnt have taken this fight. I would have taken a layup to ensure gobs of money against Nakatani. That's what makes him great but maybe not too wise. Its a very scary fight. The last thing I see is him bulldozing Picasso. I dont know the odds but I'd put a little money on Picasso if the odds are skewed.

From what I've seen of Picasso, Inoue shouldn't have any problems.

But would love to see an upset.
