I'm seeing all this hype about Inoue beating this guy Kono who had never been stopped prior to Inoue. I don't follow the lower weights and I especially don't follow Japanese boxing. Call me a casual if you want to but I don't care.
Anyway I'm seeing all this hype for Inoue so I check out Kono's record. This guy is 36 years old and had 9 losses coming into the fight, including UD losses to a guy who was 2-0 (who hasn't done anything of note since), a guy with 12 losses, and was coming off a loss to Concepcion (a good fighter). I thought he'd just beat a monster by the way he was getting hype. I like seeing young guys put these older guys out of their miser so Inoue did what he should've did.
Spence did to Algieri what Khan, Provodnikov and Pacquiao couldn't do (Hearn was trying to make a Brook/Provodnikov fight
). Ref didn't even give him a 10 count. Waved it off as soon as Algieri hit the ground. But we still heard excuses. So he goes on to beat Bundu by KO. Knocked him under the ropes. Not even a 10 count the ref automatically waved the fight off. But then we heard Bundu is old. Bundu's only loss has come at the hands of Thurman and it wasn't a KO loss.
Even Gvozdyk is getting more credit for stopping Chilemba who was coming off two losses in a row. But Spence doesn't get credit for beating two guys who've been in there with the top competition and never been stopped before. Bundu and Algieri has less losses than Chilemba combined.
