Naoya Inoue vs. Marlon Tapales | ESPN+ - December 26, 2023

[golden_labrador]

less than a month now, and only a few days after the Saudi thing. some decent fights over Crimbo

[Ruthless-RKO]

Fight Week!!

[Thomastearns]

Fight Week!!

It happens every year - Christmas is oh so far away - and then boom, it's here!

Boxing day indeed.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Bam has landed in Japan

[Ruthless-RKO]

I can’t wait for this one!!

[Sendo Takeshi]

It's gonna be good for sure.
Boxing fans are super lucky this year.

[AngryGoon38]

Inoue is a hot fighter.
This better be a warm up.

I'd prefer to see "Inoue" Win this bout.

It will be a pretty tough bout for him though.
Tapales looks Very Determined.

I'm expecting "Inoue" to win, by either UD, or late round Tko.

I'd Really like to see "Inoue" move up to 126 immediately after this bout, and have just one bout at FW, and then propose a bout at 130 versus Lomachenko. I just can't stop thinking about how Great of a Chess-Match and Brawl Combo that'd be. It'd be such an interesting Styles based Clash.

Why "Inoue"

[margaret thatcher]

i was gonna say

[The Gratest]

I'm terrible for skim reading, especially with names i'm unfamiliar with. Inoue v Marla Maples sounds a bit of a mismatch.

[Sendo Takeshi]

It adds a subtle nuance, drawing attention to the name and possibly indicating a specific context or connotation associated with it.
Obviously

[margaret thatcher]

i hear marla has a razor sharp jab and pretty good counterpunching

[margaret thatcher]

is this real 'life' ? or is this just 'fantasy' ?

[JCS]

is this real 'life' ? or is this just 'fantasy' ?

When to use single quotes vs double?

[margaret thatcher]

you tell me, "JCS'

[skanksta]

"Who's watching?" " "

[margaret thatcher]

former K1 champ Yoshiki Takei just folded a mehican dude with a body shot in the 2nd. apparently takei was ranked top 10 p4p in kickboxing when he retired to pursue boxing

looked a bit telegraphed with his shots, but explosive

[skanksta]

Hiraoka scores a KD with a jab-cum-hook that lands on the ear - quite impressive.

[margaret thatcher]

hiraoka looks good, needs better fights

[margaret thatcher]

good effort from the mexican but levels below
