Naoya Inoue vs. David Alan Picasso | RING V - 27 December 2025

[gregregegg]

Is Picasso any good? Or is this just an early ko without losing a round situation?

Also. Even more so, is Nakatani opponent any good?

There records are pretty thin.

You gotta watch some footage and give your own opinion rather than relying on others.

[JamesPhilips]

I watched some highlights. Seems easy to hit

Breaking: Willibaldo Garcia’s IBF super-flyweight world title fight against Kenshiro Teraji has been cancelled after Garcia fell ill and was admitted to the hospital following the ceremonial weigh-ins.

Turki Alalshikh calls out two fighters to be last-minute replacements

[MightyWarrior]

Oh crap, one down 2 to go, I was going to tune in about nine for this, so probably 10 now, depending what the replacement is

maybe he got the flu or is it cutting weight….

[gregregegg]

Is this going to push start time back? Push end time foward? or creat unbrearably long gaps?

[MightyWarrior]

Turki has summoned a couple of worker slaves to step in as replacements.

Yafai tweeting "another Mexican on drugs".

[Glass Joe]

Pretty rotine for inoue. Can he please step up and fight nick ball

Ps funny translator translating the swearing lol

[rd350lc]

Fun last 2 rounds.
The kid gave it a go.
But, there's levels ( as the saying goes).

[TheLeprechaun]

Disappointing performance. Did he also have to rewrap his hands after seemingly getting caught stacking?

Nick Ball should step down, and fight Inoue. Inoue is the star, not Ball.
