WBSS Bantamweight (1/2 Final): Naoya Inoue vs. Emmanuel Rodriguez - May 18, 2019

[Ruthless-RKO]

For me, LWW, WW, MW, LHW and HW are quite decent now. CW (without Usyk) might be competitive, too. There are two top class fighters at SFW (Davis and Berchelt) and if they move up, than LW will become very hot (with Lomachenko, T. Lopez, even R. Garcia).
The other weight divisions are pretty weak (LMW might be some kind of the border-line). I hope you may agree with me ?

Yeh. LMW is decent.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Excellent win for Inoue

[DrDuke]

What a murderous puncher. A one of the today's scariest fighters. I thought, Rodriguez would last for a couple of rounds more.

Yeh: round 1 looked promising.

[victor-romeo]

Yea I gave first round to Rodriguez but could call it either way. Rodriguez looked bigger and Inoue looks like he as some holes in his defense but you can't argue with his hand speed, power and punch placement/accuracy. Even though early you kind of have to wonder if a Japanese Pacqaio in the making.

[kbackup408]

I am BLOWN away someone punching that hard at 118lb - Inoue was born with power wish him the best for the future!

[Thomastearns]

That last paragraph quote heats things up wonderfully. It looks like 'the monster' is trying to psyche himself up further.

But can he deliver?

Silly question.

One of the most chilling demolitions of a respected unbeaten fighter I've seen in years.
World class accuracy.

[Onekrazyrican]

What a monster indeed. Manny came prepared for the biggest fight of his life and got the life sucked out of him during that short sequence. Inoue should have no problems with Nonito who's a name that rings a bell to most. He will come out of this tournament as the lower weights Lomachenko and rightfully so. Cant wait to see him against Nery

I find him to be more Pacqiao than Loma.

CW is sh.it, with Usyk and without him

Super Flyweight is stacked.

122 too, Danny Román is a tremendous fighter and his fight against Doheny was great.

Román vs Navarrete is fight of year candidate.

126 is stacked too.

[Susej_SOG]

I find him to be more Pacqiao than Loma.

Nah

Inoue has the orthodox style of Japanese Boxing School but elevated to the perfection

They are doing a very different and interesting Job in amateur

[Susej_SOG]

Yeh: round 1 looked promising.

Not really.

Rodríguez fought a stu.pid fight.

Too flat footed

Without defense and exchanging against a better and Stronger rival

It was a suicidal strategy

[dagilechia]

Inoue has p4p #1 potential and i really like him, he's currently one of my favourite fighter and that was a great win, go Naoya!

[Ruthless-RKO]

[ewenhay]

I find him to be more Pacqiao than Loma.

Yeah definitely like a young Manny

Going to be an exciting ride

[Ruthless-RKO]

Yeah definitely like a young Manny

Going to be an exciting ride

What weight will be Inoue’s ceiling.

ENJOY!!

[ewenhay]

What weight will be Inoue’s ceiling.

Probably lightweight

[Counter-puncher]

Probably lightweight

Ha.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Ha.

He’s only 25 or so. Why not?

[goose 5]

What does The Monster rehydrate to ?

[SenorPipino]

He’s only 25 or so. Why not?

I think that he might hit junior lightweight.

Lightweight may be pushing it, even for a Monster.

[Ruthless-RKO]

I think that he might hit junior lightweight.

Lightweight may be pushing it, even for a Monster.

Look at Pac? He went all the way to 147

[ValMar]

Look at Pac? He went all the way to 147

It would be fine to see Inoue against Rigo, than Davis and Berchelt, and............against Loma................
I know it is not realistic scenario, but it would be fine..............
