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.

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

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

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

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