Decent card this.. it’s either this or Showtime PPV.
Re: Naoya Inoue vs. Jason Moloney - October 31, 2020
Like Loma, Inoue climbed too high in weight. He is younger, so he may last for a while, but he will run into somebody too strong and good enough for him to handle.

Re: Naoya Inoue vs. Jason Moloney - October 31, 2020
he won every round , scored two kds, an got a big ko in the 7th. he's not unbeatable but he's on a nice run at the weight and not really seeing anyone at that weight who stands out as having his number. Nery was the best fight but then moved up in weight, plus I think Nery would be too sloppy and get taken out at some point
my criticism of his performance is that there was too much head hunting. when you great body punching, use it man!

Would still like to see the Casimero fight, 2 big banging little asian dudes who I love 
Re: Naoya Inoue vs. Jason Moloney - October 31, 2020
Spot on. Where was the body attack and generally only one or two punches at a time. He went super aggressive too early I thought but I can’t really say that as he won every rd and stopped the guy.margaret thatcher wrote: ↑31 Oct 2020, 23:29 he won every round , scored two kds, an got a big ko in the 7th. he's not unbeatable but he's on a nice run at the weight and not really seeing anyone at that weight who stands out as having his number.

Nice finish for Inoue!! He is clearly a top-10 P4P fighter.

Re: Naoya Inoue vs. Jason Moloney - October 31, 2020
Absolute class. He is a p4p guy and I hope he stays loose in his division choice. Would like to see him give up on the undisputed pipe dream, officially he isn’t, but everyone knows he is the best 118er. He should just take the biggest fights 115-122. I like Moloney, and he did well, but from now on inoue is above that and if he has to juggle divs to stay above it he should. A bit like what canelo is currently doing.

Have no doubt he can make 115. And there are epic fights there. If 2021 he isnt fighting ringo or frenchy or Luis Nery at 118 he should be at 115.margaret thatcher wrote: ↑01 Nov 2020, 05:47 wish he could make 115 and get in there with roman or jfe or sor

Yet another tremendous performance by Inoue.
Jason Moloney is a lot better boxer than Inoue made him look like last night.
He tried everything but the difference in hand speed and accuracy was simply too much for him.
Inoue, like Loma, and GGG before him, also looks like he's going to have problems finding suitable opponents.
At his optimum weight he's simply too good, but as you say luckily for him he's only 27.

He’s already fought decent opponents.. Loma has actually fought decent names too. Not like he’s fought scrubs.Thomastearns wrote: ↑01 Nov 2020, 09:28

Some big bantamweights will want to take advantage of size difference if there is any..

Stunning showing again from Inoue, speed power and precision, rendered Moloney useless, constantly breathing down his neck, pressuring with the feet, constantly making him think, even at Bantamweight he carries real power with every dig, great left hook counter for the knockdown in round 6 and the right hand for the finish a round later was textbook

Right behind bud for me. Been that way for a good while.
Re: Naoya Inoue vs. Jason Moloney - October 31, 2020
I'll pass on seeing him against any of the 115lbers. He brutally stops all of them in 6 or less.
Re: Naoya Inoue vs. Jason Moloney - October 31, 2020
Clinical as always, I forgot how much I love watching this kid. Talk of bad opponents is none sense, he was a 3 weight champ after 16 fights and always at least tried to fight the top fighters.
