[Ruthless-RKO]

At a press gathering in Tokyo, unbeaten World Boxing Association (WBA) "regular" champion Naoya "Monster" Inoue (16-0, 14 KOs) officially announced his first title defense against the left-handed Dominican and former world champion Juan Carlos Payano (20-1, 9 KOs) on October 7 at the Yokohama Arena in Yokohama City, Kanagawa Province, Japan.

The contest is part of the first round of the World Boxing Super Series (WBSS) bantamweight tournament.

Okay fight. Inoue should squash him.

Okay fight. Inoue should squash him.

Picked an easy one to start with. Should be dominant! As he did with McDonnell.

[gilgamesh]

Payano is a bit difficult, but shouldn't present much of a problem for a talent like Inoue.

[SenorPipino]

Payano's been around and knows how to handle himself.

I don't think that he's going to go the McDonnell route in the blink of an eye.

But The Monster will eventually get to him, just like Inoue will get to everyone else in the tournament.

all the fighters he couldve picked would be easy ones for him, there was really no ambitious option for him

[Ruthless-RKO]

Inoue said: "First of all, I never thought that my fight in this great WBSS event will be held in Yokohama. I feel pride that I will be able to have see action in Yokohama as the first Japanese participant in WBSS, where I will have to submit a maximum pugilistic performance - in search of a knockout in my favor so that Japanese boxing will collect more enthusiasm with fireworks.

"[Becoming a unified champion is] well worth it to throw more desire to myself to be able to achieve a great victory by beating everyone in the WBSS, although it will not be easy.

"I fully realize that the Japanese boxing fans have great expectations in me, I am proud to be a huge favorite of the Japanese fans so that I will be able to succeed beautifully in the WBSS."
