Koki Inoue - Future World Champ
So by now im sure every1 on this forum knows of the wrecking ball that is Naoya Inoue, his sharpshooter accuracy accompanied by brutal power has the Bantamweight division cowering in fear, Most of you are also aware of Naoyas brother Takuma who also is fighting at Bantamweight, while he doesnt have Naoyas power and killer instict he definetly is also a very skilled boxer
But one boxer that i see nearly noone talking about is Naoyas and Takumas cousin Koki Inoue (14-0 11KOs), he grew up with the Inoue brothers and are also trained by the brothers dad Shingo Inoue, aswell as fighting out of the same gym (Ohashi Gym in Yokohama)
Now he isnt being moved at the same pace as Naoya but he is approaching title contention pretty soon and like the brothers, also possess a high level of skill and has a nice blend of power, speed and accuracy, he is also a natural southpaw and fights out of a bigger weight class then his cousins, he is right now campaigning @ super lightweight and hes 5'9 tall so hes in a division thats more appealing then the lighter divisions.
So i posted this to see if you guys have watched him fight and if so what do u think of his chances @ world level? i think he looks promising but its a bit early to tell
heres his last fight where he defended his national japanese title:
