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

[MightyWarrior]

Fairplay Picasso, he’s finally got the monsters respect here

[MightyWarrior]

AIM DE LEFT says Japanese lady translator

[Sendo Takeshi]

He’s trying to impress Golovkin.

Haha the GGG special

[MightyWarrior]

Nice Amazing Alix Arthur tribute the monster has on his shorts

[Sendo Takeshi]

Picasso is doing pretty good. He actually came to win.

[gilgamesh]

Solid fight again. Starting out much like the other one with Inoue winning most if not all of these first 5 rounds. I don't expect a big surge from Picasso in the 2nd half, but we shall see.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Picasso is doing pretty good. He actually came to win.

Us fans appreciate that.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Inoue doesn’t want back-to-back decision wins

He’s never done that before.

He will want a stoppage here

[Sendo Takeshi]

Inoue acting like he is a -10.000 favorite.

[MightyWarrior]

Picasso, with his studies, must know this is bad news these punches he keeps taking. Sometimes the chin is just too good for your own good

[gregregegg]

Inoue at 122 might not be quite as lights out. But he is so good people are going to get some bad beatings.

[gilgamesh]

I will say this. Even though Inoue is looking solid here, and is winning. I think that 122 is probably the limit to his body allowing him to operate at or near his best, and I don't think he should go up in weight any further.

Usually guys go up in weight because the big names or the big fights are waiting for them there, but in Inoue's case HE is the star at this weight range. Anybody from 115 to 126 aspires to a fight with him. They need him to get the Superfight, so if he were to move up in weight he's doing it just for the hell of it. So with that being said, I think it's his opponents who should be doing the weight cutting or weight gaining from now on.

Particularly as he gets that bit older,4 division champion, nothing to prove on that score.

Feels near his limit although he could still win belts at 126… I guess the big question is “is that where the big fights are”..

I’d rather him move back to 118 to fight bam than any of the 126ers right now.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Lost my stream.

Cus the programmed was supposed to finish by now ffs!!!!!

[Sendo Takeshi]

To be fair, Inoue is still dominating. He is just not "destroying" him, the way we are used to see him.
I can still see him winning titles at Featherweight.

[gilgamesh]

This is one of them fights where it's a shutout, but also still somehow competitive.

[littlepug]

Really don’t care about seeing him going through the weight classes, find your best weight and make it your castle, defend it against all comers for as long as possible.

[gregregegg]

Special from innoue, tough from Picasso.

Inoue took a bit more than he needed too that last round. But eh.

120-108 or 119-109. Picasso might of won the last.

[Sendo Takeshi]

Very surprised this went the distance. Twice in a row, winning all 24 rounds.
He didn't get the knockout, but if he doesn't lose any rounds, he can always go up as far as I'm concerned.

[gilgamesh]

Shutout decision here I'd imagine. Maybe a judge will be generous and give Picasso 1, but that's the best you could give him, and even that is just kinda throwing him a bone for his effort.

He's a tough kid this Picasso. He should probably pursue a career in Neuroscience, and go after that Nobel Prize instead. He fought one of the Pound for the Pound kings of the sport. The best opponent he will ever face in his career at this weight range, and he saw where he was at in comparison. He's pursued this sport to it's limit for him I think, and if he has those other plans like the commentators said I think he should pursue those.

[Sendo Takeshi]

117-111?!? F*ck outta here.
Second shitty card in a row.

[gregregegg]

It dosent matter, kinda… but I feel like 117 is a really bad score card.

[gilgamesh]

It dosent matter, kinda… but I feel like 117 is a really bad score card.

Yeah it's just giving a guy rounds for no reason. Makes it look like the judge is just scoring rounds arbitrarily.

[gregregegg]

Why did he just give him another ring belt? What the fvck was that.
