      Sweet fights. Kid has a rocket on that right hand. Great speed.

      I'm certainly going to keep these cats on the radar. I still firmly believe Felix Verdejo is amongst the bluest chips on the planet. I hope they raise the opposition level.

        Due to a JBC rule Inoue can't fight Akira Yaegashi (gym mates can't fight) so if Akira beats Gonzalez you can't blame him for not going into the division. Naoya has more than held his own in sparring and exhibitions with Akira though.

          3-0 (1), world ranked, skilled, fast as lighting and ambitious as hell. Really one to keep an eye on.

          A video of his victory today can be found here for those interested

            Understandable but Gonzalez and Yaegashi are not the only ones in that division. And why couldnt he fight Gonzalez if Gonzalez lost? Just cause he's coming off an L?

              God damn that kid looks exceptional. The Japanese really do have a production line right now.

                I dare say he wouldn't fight Gonzalez if he loses as he'd be wanting to fight title fights from the off. A bout with Estrada would be good but I think the Mexican may be tied up for a while and he (Inoue) is REALLY struggling to make weight from what I've read.

                  Gotcha. We'll see what happens. If he skips the division while having fights available then that'll be a very suspect move.
