Inoue vs Rigo needs to happen ASAP. The Monster better Not Duck The Jackal at 118!

Now that Navarrete moved up in weight the waters are safe at 122 lbs, eh, Inoue?

Rigondeaux at age 39 and fighting at 118 lbs. stands little chance vs. Inoue.

Inoue in 5.

I thought he was supposed to fight the other Filipino champion at 118. If not him, then fight Rigo.

I’ll love for him to unify and then possibly fight Nery for a belt one day in the near future. As long as he can get some more names that the boxing public knows then he’ll get what he rightfully deserves as one of the premier boxers in the sport. I feel like people slight him just because they don’t know some of the fighters he’s facing but this is a guy who’s been fighting like the top names in his division from like his 6th or 7th pro fight.

Its been about 34 years since Bantamweight had a lineal champion, and 55 years since a Japanese owned the 118 lineage ; the great Fighting Harada was the last.

There is more historical significance beating John Riel Casimero at Bantamweight. 122 has no clear champion, ironically the 'Man' lineal champ of said weight class, has moved down to challenge the 'Monster'. Its clear, Naoya Inoue has more to gain at Bantamweight.

I think there's a good possibility that the casimero fight will go ahead, even if it ends up in Japan.

It would also be nice for Inoue to unify at 118 before moving up.
