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

[gilgamesh]

I’m actualy not shocked by the 118. It’s bad but it basically just means the judge didn’t value the sloppy arm punching pressure.

If you value it he wins henandez wins, if you don’t then it’s about 118…

As I always say, it’s n out the score that’s bad when there’s a “what you like” type fight, it’s that 99.9% of the time it goes towards who they want to win.

The outcome of a fight shouldn't be decided by who happens to be sitting around the ring, regardless of what the judges prefer.

But it is. Every single close round. I mean only an edge, and not consciously. It’s just some people will value the one crisp shot more than the 3 glancing shots. Some wont.

There is no way around that.

But, boxing judging is terrible regardless of that.

Yep because if you tried to make it automatic like "The guy who scores the most punches wins" then you'd just wind up with Amateur Style point scoring Boxing where people rarely throw full force punches, and nobody wants that.

I agree, even though mma decisions feel almost as bad.

[gilgamesh]

Inoue is -4000? That's like a ~98% win percentage..
I'd be surprised if Inoue loses (also if he doesn't win by knockout), but this is nuts.

I don't think this should be a thing between the champ and one of the highest ranked contenders.

I'd say it mainly just speaks to the general public's complete lack of awareness of Picasso.

8 point card all time bad.

[skanksta]

Naka probably was 5-0 up or very close to it, so no problems with him winning, but 118 just stinks.

[gregregegg]

Thank fvck they saw his hand wraps early… would of been bad if he stopped him then they saw his tape was stacked (nothing dodgey, it’s allowed in Japan so that’s what he would be use to doing)

[Ruthless-RKO]

Picasso just gotten a degree in neuro science

Clap clap

[gilgamesh]

This all feels like something you'd have seen in Pride FC back in the day.

[MightyWarrior]

This guy better be superhuman, otherwise he is getting poleaxed in short time.

In which case he may well win the Nobel peace prize for barely throwing a punch

What an awful thing to do. Study neuroscience wanting to focus on fighter brains. Then go in with a murderouse puncher…

You do not want to be getting your brain rattled and be sooo conscious and aware of how bad that’s gunna be down the line.

[gregregegg]

Feels like I’m watching the mighty ducks

[gilgamesh]

This is going to be my first time seeing Inoue fight Live. Looking forward to it.

On the plus side. If he gets his ass handed to him bad enough, he's also probably smart enough to know he should pursue another line of work

[Sendo Takeshi]

This is going to be my first time seeing Inoue fight Live. Looking forward to it.

If he loses, I’m holding you personally responsible.

[gregregegg]

Picasso has a small head and a skinny neck. He is getting stopped early.

Also I wish they would save there money on buffer and put on an extra undercard fight instead..

I don't see any other option quite frankly.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Bring out old man Buffer The man who is 2 decades past his use by date..

[MightyWarrior]

The executioners song

You’re an Inoue virgin!!

Agreed. Buffer was great, but he's no more special than many of the other announcers at this point. It's just a Nostalgia thing.

[gilgamesh]

Fairly patient 1st round. A few good body shots from Inoue that probably got him the round, but not a lot there to separate 'em.

[MightyWarrior]

Spanish translator is excellent. The Japanese one is awful …couldn’t they have found someone better. She must be someone who works on the promotions mum

[MightyWarrior]

Brave kid, the Mexican, inevitably, but surely he doesn’t wanna be taking too many of these heavy heavy shots

[gregregegg]

Fvck I love innoue. But I think he is getting a bit cocky, don’t seem scared to get hit and Mabey takes a couple he dosent need to.

If he’s felt his power then he’ll know he can take them..

He’s trying to impress Golovkin.
