Precocious light flyweight prospect Naoya Inoue continues his impressive blitz up the boxing ladder. The 20-year old dazzled the crowd while overwhelming Filipino prospect Jerson Mancio (18-4-3, 9KO) in five rounds. Inoue scored knockdowns in rounds two and five, the latter followed by a flurry which prompted the stoppage.
The official time was 2:51 of round five.
Inoue cruises to 5-0 (4KO), with all five bouts coming at a level far advances to most prospects. His pro debut, which came 14 months ago, was scheduled for eight rounds, with tonight's bout scheduled for 12 rounds. All five of his opponents have fought 20 or more bouts prior to facing one of the hottest prospects in the sport.
The non-televised undercard saw Inoue's younger brother also make a splash. Takuma Inoue made his pro debut, scoring a six-round decision over Tatsuya ***uhara (12-4-3, 3KO). Scores were 59-55 (twice) and 59-56 for the younger Inoue (1-0, 0KO), who turns 18 in three weeks.
