inoue is so strong on the back foot.

GOAT recognises GOAT

A pound for pound amazing fighter, but has he lost that lights out power that he had down at fly? it seems the last guy had a rock of a chin, but this guy as well?
The monster couldn’t budge him, despite landing everything but the kitchen sink.

I’d like to see him stay down the weights, like super fly, but we don’t want the weight killing him.

Don’t think he should move up, though Nick ball aint beating him. Ball should fight pitbull

inoue prob gonna fight nakatani then retire

ball should face a live body from his own division, how about espinoza? or is that too much lanky mexican meat for him

Entertaining one sided fight, Picasso having pockets of success and showing guts going the distance, tried to put it on Inoue in the 12th but he was well beaten, Inoue putting on a clinic of technical ability, worked off his jab, targeted the head and body in equal measure, great timing, great footwork, great engine, never looked like getting the KO tbh but did land some great shots to the body whipped in some of those left hooks that have crumpled many a man, just a professional performance and great to see Inoue go about his work

I don't know if he'd retire straight off the Nakatani bout, but I do suspect his retirement will be coming in the next 2 or 3 years. I definitely don't think he should risk going up any further in weight.

What’s the hand wrap controversy going on? Has Inoue been illegally wrapping his hands?

They're legally allowed to wrap them a certain way in Japan.

His team clearly weren't told or checked with the Middle East commission about their rules.
