[margaret thatcher]

a lotta blinking, though tbf he does have a badly cut eye, that must sting

[jwfg]

tsutsumi being given a check for about 50k pounds, seems like special occassion - maybe for 5 japanesse title wins?

I've got a real thing for the Japanese scene. Kenshiro Teraji is a great watch.

[Delta Jay]

Great fight. Taken a lot out of both by the looks of it.

Yeah man. JBC tends to match them hard.

Enjoyed that, and it being Boxing Day morning makes it all sweeter

[Flump]

Hope he .s alright did.nt look to good there atthe end

No he didn't. Didn't see much evidence of medical supervision there either.

What a fight though, hope there's no postscript.

[margaret thatcher]

[margaret thatcher]

alrightly main event time! looks like theyre just about to start the walk outs

[MightyWarrior]

When i get to see japanese cRds granted not often . But they always seem good commentary is good has well sensible . No screaming fan boy stuff

Yes so much better than the usual gal on comm who’s terrible.

Is Marlon good enough to hold off the monster? Being Filipino is a good start. Possibly the second best Marlon we’ve ever seen

[MightyWarrior]

The monster is a godsend for boxing

there’s gonna be 1000s of Japanese boxers coming in on the back of this icon

[margaret thatcher]

tappy walking in

[margaret thatcher]

inoue going for a french flag look or something

[Gran Hermano]

Inoue in 4 round demolition

[jwfg]

More excited about this than the whole Saudi card. I am a Monster fanboy.

[Sendo Takeshi]

They are always so excited, when Lennon Jr. speaks his broken japaness

The bell is about to ring anytime. I'm so pumped!

[MightyWarrior]

…..go time.?

[MightyWarrior]

Have to keep reminding myself that Marlon is actually a champion

[handsofstone]

Monster time!!!!!

[MightyWarrior]

This looks like bad tactics from the Filipino

[margaret thatcher]

feeling out round won by inoue

[margaret thatcher]

marlon being a bit of an annoyance, but not really able to win rounds like this

[Ruthless-RKO]

Lmao. Sky sports went for a quick 5 second break before the round ended haha

[dookus]

Tapales having a decent 3rd - Inoue a bit frustrated. But also seems throughout like the first decent Inoue shot will put Tapales firmly back in his shell.
