Yeh. LMW is decent.ValMar wrote: ↑17 May 2019, 17:18 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 ?

Excellent win for Inoue
Re: WBSS Bantamweight (1/2 Final): Naoya Inoue vs. Emmanuel Rodriguez - May 18, 2019
What a murderous puncher. A one of the today's scariest fighters. I thought, Rodriguez would last for a couple of rounds more.

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.

Silly question.Thomastearns wrote: ↑15 May 2019, 14:49 That last paragraph quote heats things up wonderfully. It looks like 'the monster' is trying to psyche himself up further.
But can he deliver?
One of the most chilling demolitions of a respected unbeaten fighter I've seen in years.
World class accuracy.

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

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

I think that he might hit junior lightweight.
Lightweight may be pushing it, even for a Monster.

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