Legend killer lmao steady on

Wouldnt it be great if Ryan Burnett gets past Nonito and ends up fighting the 'Monster'? So then Inoue will have another champion under his resume, but this time we have to credit Naoya for defeating a former unified champion! LEGEND-KILLER!!!

That was a beautiful 1-2. Monster is the perfect name for Inoue.

It's going to be interesting to see how many divisions Inoue will be able to move up.
Nobody at Bantamweight will be a match for him. That includes Tete. I don't even know where all the Tete hype came from, but Inoue will probably destroy him.
122 is weaker than 118. Dogboe would be his only real challenge at that weight.
Rigo is probably done and Rey Vargas and Daniel Roman haven't really impressed me.

He will probably have to move up to 126 to get a real challenge.
Inoue is entering the ring at a similar weight as some of the current Featherweights, so I don't think he would be small to compete with those guys. A lot of those guys are also the same height as Inoue.

He will face the Rodriguez-Moloney winner in the next round. Already looking forward to it.

I don’t know how high he could realistically go. He’s young but he’s also so small...when he moved up to Bantam it looked like he was competing at his walk around weight...126 is 8 pounds higher than he is now...he will need to put on some muscle

Guy is a monster

So its Tete-Burnett likely in the next round? AWW MAN! We want 'Monster' Inoue to smash Ryan Burnet! Dramashow must be relieved!

Didn't he enter the ring at 131 against McDonnell? I remember reading that.
The two biggest Featherweights, in terms of fight night weight, are Frampton and Valdez. Frampton enters the ring at 136-137 and Valdez usually enters the ring at 134-136. Santa Cruz entered at a career high, last time out against Mares, which was 135. That's probably because he will move up to 130 soon and is trying to bulk up.

Inoue should take his time though. He is very young. He should probably try to become one of the best Bantamweights of all time, a historic division. I just can't help but get excited and I can't really see anyone testing him at 118 or 122. Maybe Dogboe. Really need to see more of Dogboe though, but that may be the fight in a few years.
If Inoue does ever fight at Featherweight all the current top guys will probably be retired or at a higher weight, so he may face off against the new crop of Featherweights. In my opinion, the current crop is better than the one coming up.
