Buzz has been building for months, and arguably years, and now the time is right to ask: If a match can be made, who wins a fight between Naoya Inoue and Bam Rodriguez?

I think Inoue is simply too big for Bam, who might not have the power to be able to hurt him. Although he may be able to outbox him and win on points.

But a good big man almost always beats a good smaller man.

Bam needs to earn a fight with Inoue, let's see bam fight nakatani

[NihonJim]

Inoue beats his ass, be serious

[JOITATS]

2 wgt classes is a whole new world


Imagine what Monster would do to guys like Puma Martinez

I agree with ShoulderRoll. Bam just might be too small but could win on points.

I think this is really a great fight but probably a year or two away.

It's a great fight NOW - but NOT when Inoue is 35 years old. Bam has made a collection of fighting former greats past their best - Cuadras, Sor Rungvisai and Estrada - lets see him fight either Nakatani or Inoue by year end. His best win so far is either an aged Estrada or Sunny Edwards - Nakatani would be an upgrade.

Nakatani took the fight with Inoue two, maybe three. fights too early imo. Junto should have had at least another couple of fights at 122 and took another 9-months or so to really grow into the weight.

Maybe he, or his management/promoter were worried that Inoue would retire/go to 126/lose to someone else, so they rushed Nakatani into that fight.

Right now Bam is presently TWO weight classes and probably four or five fights/approx two years away from being able to seriously challenge Inoue. So the momentum is growing for him to also take that fight before he is ready.

If his trainer and his management really want to do their best by him, they will bide their time and let Bam grow into a real 122lb-er. If Inoue is still there at the end of next year (doubtful) then look for him. If not, too bad but there will be other big fights.
