very true but in inoues case his last 5 fights have been against real live oppents for me Donaire been in with the best, inoue is a top fighter i dont say that lightly especially a fighter from asia where kick boxing is where there number 1 and main combat fighting game, yeah i know moloney is from Australasia . jason i think is a solid enough fighter , but he hasnt got the movement of boxing skills to beat inoue , inoue boxes well body head body moves wel has the patiences to pick shots an all round fighter he is class ,ko win inoue

Decent card this.. it’s either this or Showtime PPV.

Like Loma, Inoue climbed too high in weight. He is younger, so he may last for a while, but he will run into somebody too strong and good enough for him to handle.

he won every round , scored two kds, an got a big ko in the 7th. he's not unbeatable but he's on a nice run at the weight and not really seeing anyone at that weight who stands out as having his number. Nery was the best fight but then moved up in weight, plus I think Nery would be too sloppy and get taken out at some point

my criticism of his performance is that there was too much head hunting. when you great body punching, use it man!

Would still like to see the Casimero fight, 2 big banging little asian dudes who I love

Spot on. Where was the body attack and generally only one or two punches at a time. He went super aggressive too early I thought but I can’t really say that as he won every rd and stopped the guy.

Oh, but what a nice right hand to finish it

Nice finish for Inoue!! He is clearly a top-10 P4P fighter.

Stinker.

Good win. Who should be Inoue ultimate target ?

Only seen the ending, what a finish!

Absolute class. He is a p4p guy and I hope he stays loose in his division choice. Would like to see him give up on the undisputed pipe dream, officially he isn’t, but everyone knows he is the best 118er. He should just take the biggest fights 115-122. I like Moloney, and he did well, but from now on inoue is above that and if he has to juggle divs to stay above it he should. A bit like what canelo is currently doing.

he should fight casimero, rigo, or oubali next

wish he could make 115 and get in there with roman or jfe or sor

Have no doubt he can make 115. And there are epic fights there. If 2021 he isnt fighting ringo or frenchy or Luis Nery at 118 he should be at 115.

The Japanese Monster has done everything as it was expected.

Yet another tremendous performance by Inoue.

Jason Moloney is a lot better boxer than Inoue made him look like last night.

He tried everything but the difference in hand speed and accuracy was simply too much for him.

Inoue, like Loma, and GGG before him, also looks like he's going to have problems finding suitable opponents.

At his optimum weight he's simply too good, but as you say luckily for him he's only 27.

He’s already fought decent opponents.. Loma has actually fought decent names too. Not like he’s fought scrubs.

Some big bantamweights will want to take advantage of size difference if there is any..

Stunning showing again from Inoue, speed power and precision, rendered Moloney useless, constantly breathing down his neck, pressuring with the feet, constantly making him think, even at Bantamweight he carries real power with every dig, great left hook counter for the knockdown in round 6 and the right hand for the finish a round later was textbook

Right behind bud for me. Been that way for a good while.

I'll pass on seeing him against any of the 115lbers. He brutally stops all of them in 6 or less.

Clinical as always, I forgot how much I love watching this kid. Talk of bad opponents is none sense, he was a 3 weight champ after 16 fights and always at least tried to fight the top fighters.
