Aww

Great job ducking out of the high exposure Fly tournament to fight another unknown on his list of non-elite fighters. His management must know of his weaknesses. He and his team had a chance to propel him and chose to go back into world obscurity. And now he fights an unknown bantamweight. Good one.

Wtf. Top fighters at 115 are always willing to face each other and they arent hard to finalize so i dont get this move.

Weight issue is only thing i can think of. Inoue is young and growing fast.

Why ? 115 is stacked Inoue wtf... a unification with Rungvisai would be incredible

[Stynpine]

Sad, but not surprised. Inoue is outgrowing the division, and he hasn't had luck securing a unification in the last year. Yafai and Ancajas want nothing to do with Inoue, and Rungvisai and Estrada are busy with each other. To make some light of these news, there are good fighters at bantamweight. Inoue-Tete/Narvaez 2 has been in the works for a while, and he is targeting Nery when he moves up. So there are still good fights for Inoue when he moves up.

Not entirely surprised - even midgets put on weight.

[TheCell8]

Probably can't make the weight anymore.

Back when flyweight was stacked right before most of them moved up to super flyweight, Inoue skipped flyweight altogether to avoid them. When they were all at super fly, he doesnt fight any of them, fights bums for six defenses(in which better fights couldve been made so **** the weight excuse, he had plenty of time) and then leaves.

This isnt the first time hes done this which I why Im always critical of people who try to overrate him and say he was top dog at super flyweight and p4p. Unlike him, other fighters are willing to prove it. His team is hiding something and seeing him, I dont blame them for it.

That's a shame, that division is great at the moment and wanted to see him in the mix.

If it's too much of a struggle making the weight then fair enough. I hope that's the reason...
