Have you guys seen the video of Inoue sparring against former title challenger Raymart Gaballo? It demonstrates the power, accuracy and speed of Inoue. Although Nery is heavier and more experienced than Gaballo. The video showed Gaballo wearing a head gear and we saw Inoue hurt former champions Stephen Fulton and Marlon Tapales and Nery is no different. But of course I am also interested what Nery can offer. He's like a Japanese assassin when he ended the long reign of former champion and p2p top 10 Shinsuke Yamanaka.

Thanks for the video mate,

Dang, the power of Inoue is really unreal, I agree that even if Gaballo had that head gear to support, still though he felt Inoue's power. What if there are no head gear? The result? Almost 90% KO rate for the Japanese.

Definitely, Nery will show in this fight just like what others did feeling very confident. But once Naoya got into his rhythm I wouldn't be surprised that Nery going down early or another knockout win for the Monster year and then putting his name on top of the pound for pound list.

Inoue is just getting stronger and I'm pretty sure that Nery is aware of that. As long as Nery is confident to face Inoue, we will surely see a an exciting fight, unless the pass opponents of Inoue that when they feel the power of Inoue, they change their style and become more defensive to prevent from getting knockout. That way, if they will do that, that's an easy win for Inoue and people will not be happy with their performance as that would only show they are just fighting to survive.

Every fighter is confident though in facing anyone, that is there job. And we don't know if this is going to be exciting as it could be very quick like the Donaire fight with just a couple of rounds. Specially if that confident says that he can go toe to toe then it will be an easy and fast ending for Nery here.

What he should do is at least have a good plan in the fight, trying to feel Inoue and see if he can outsmart him. And then uses his power from time to time and score points on the judges scorecard. If if he lucky that the fight goes to distance, maybe he can win in the scorecard.

No dream is too big and no dreamer is too small
Maybe, Tapales tried that strategy as well early on Inoue, but from time to time Inoue will caught him going inside.

The strategy of Tapales was very simple, it might have been effective if he has power because somehow he was able to hit Inoue with his counter punches, but due to the lack of power, Inoue earn high confidence and he continues to attack Tapales. With great strategy and power, I think Nery will be able to give that to Inoue and make give him trouble, but as you said, there's no blueprint yet as to how to defeat Inoue, so I'd say it's easier said than done.

That's one thing about Tapales, he doesn't have that power, but if Nery has some then we will see how Inoue will react if he will be hit early. But as we have seen in his fight since his close encounter with Nonito Donaire, he has improved a lot not just his power, but his speed and quickness in throwing counter like in the Fulton fight. So that's why I said there are still no blue print and it's hard to mold a fighter that can beat the version of Inoue. But in any case, Nery will give his best here, he might fall short though because of Inoue's training and improvement in his last couple of fights beating at least world champions.

I think Inoue just got smarter after his fights fight with Donaire. He respect his opponent more now. I mean, he doesn't just attack rectlessly and think of finishing his opponent early, he starts with calculating the movement of his opponnet and feeling the power, once he felt that he could absorb the punches, that's when he will be more aggressive and will go for a kill. This is Inoue v2, a smarter Inoue that is harder to defeat, the power and speed is still their and maybe improving at the same time but we cannot deny that Inoue had already matured a lot in terms of his boxing styles.

Nery though has power, and if he hit Inoue early, we will see if it has effect on the Japanese or not. I can't remember what rounds Donaire was able to break Inoue's orbital bone, but it could be a series of blows.

However, it just shows how mentally tough Inoue is, not just his physical attributes, but he has what other great champions has, his mind to continue to fight even he feels that he is injured or not. We've seen fighters quitting in their stool because of injuries, but not Inoue. So we can say that he is a complete fighter that's why it is hard to beat him at this point and hard to see what kind of scheme Nery will have to develop in order to win.

Maybe, Tapales tried that strategy as well early on Inoue, but from time to time Inoue will caught him going inside. And so far there are no blue print on how to beat Inoue. It's a combination that you have a good chin because if by chance you took some hit, you can withstand it. And then you have to be very fast and your punches should be crisp like Donaire's left hook and the timing as well. Plus obviously, the element of luck should be in your side to be able to just have that one perfect punch to knockdown or knockout Inoue for good. And Nery's doesn't have that kind of tools in his arsenal and so very difficult to see what strategy will he used to even go full 12 rounds unless he brought his bicycle inside the ring and circle around.

What is devastating among Inoue's punches are those body punches.  Aside from having a durable chin, Nery should train his body from heavy beating.  We have seen several opponent of Inoue just falling to their knees and can't continue to box anymore.

It would be a gamble if Nery tried to be aggressive in the early rounds, remember both boxers are fresh and it is where the punches pack power the most. So I guess Nery should be flexible and train his quickness in order to land a counter punch or beat Inoue in landing punches faster.

Nery would have a chance to win in this fight if he is able to dictate the round and learn the movement to counter Inoue's strategy while evading those powerful punches.

Yes, that is another part of Inoue's skills, that body shot of his, very lethal, that is someone gets hit, you will feel it. And as what we have seen in boxing, body shots are as painful as a punch in the face.

And if Nery is caught off-guard, even if he trains his body, he will go down. He needs to be very fast and take advantage of Inoue's slow start and then build from that. But then again, another sign of a great fighter, he can adjust in the fly, like what he did show us in the Tapales fight.

Nery won't be able to beat the quickness of Inoue. I think the counter punching strategy might work for him if he'll be able to position himself well,  because if he go toe to toe without a clear plan,  that's just a suicide against Inoue who's one of the deadliest puncher in the sport. Nery has power, better than Tapales, maybe he can learn on what Donaire did to Inoue, because if Inoue was younger at that time, he could have already knock Inoue out.

Although the public think that Inoue is going to win easily but I think this is different from his past fights. If we look at the record of Nery, he has 35 wins and 27 of that are in KO/TKO.... He only have one loss, so I think he deserve some respect. Inoue might still look for an early KO, but I believe Nery will not be in the ring to survive but to win. I like his character because he is aggressive as well, and without enough experience, I think he is ready for this fight.

Even with Nery's record of 27 KO, his only loss comes from a KO, and before that, I think he is floored 3x.  So the concern is whether Nery can receive Inoue's power punches without any issue.  I agree that Nery will come to the ring with the aim of being the first one to beat Inoue but the question is whether Inoue allows such a thing to happen.

With the explosive punches of both camps, I think the winner of this fight will be the person who will make a solid connection first knocking out his opponent.

I'm sure Nery could not stand the punches of Inoue, so I'm thinking maybe the startegy of Nery here is to be so aggressive and he has to try to land solid shots first so he'll gain the confident. Nery has 27 KO, so he should consider himself as a KO artist too, and since Inoue isn't that durable, I think Nery have a solid shot if he will dictate the tempo first which honestly hard to do but possible.

There's no backing down for him, he came to Japan to challenge the champion, he should be aggressive and make it an interesing fight. You know, this type of fight gives them an opportunity but at the same time is also too risky for him, but that's boxing and the industry he choose.

"Here comes Inoue"

https://twitter.com/trboxing/status/1782422052869382242

And from the looks of it, nobody can stop Inoue at this point. And the chance of Nery as he is a huge 7:1 underdog. Inoue will be as sharp as ever in this fight, still in front of his Japanese crowd and probably Nery is one fighter in his hit list.

@bbc.reporter - I believed the American fans are willing to buy tickets in the lower weight class as long as it is exciting like what Inoue brings if he is going to fight in the US.

Nery is really the underdog of this fight knowing that he is the one who came into the place of Inoue and all conditions are in favor with his opponent. I'm not surprise if he got defeated on this match but I would be surprise or a lot of people will blowout on the result if Nery could be the first one to defeat Inoue on their match.

Hopefully we can see the Japanese monster go out on his comfort zone just like what boxing fans want since for sure that there's a lot of American boxing fan or a lot more people in the world would provably buy their their or his upcoming match tickets since the guy is famous and a hyped fighter to watch. If he can prove that he's still dominating even if he's fighting in the US then provably that a lot of people would agree that he's not only great in Japan but rather he can also good in US and can able to defeat those great boxers there.

@Baofeng. I reckon Inoue should not fight against someone without a big name. This thread is only 4 pages, however, the scam ICO fight of Mike Tyson and Jake Paul is more than 5 pages already hehehe. Why is this? This certainly implies that Inoue has not yet reached the same type of popularity like Pacman. Also, Inoue's fight is in Japan? He should begin to fight his championship defenses in as Vegas the fight capital of the world. There will also be more money in his purse if he will fight in Las Vegas.

Maybe the interest of people is less for their fight since there's no clear indication before that their fight would proceed but since right now the discussions towards their fight against Nery is floating up and there is a schedule has been  set that's why maybe he give an update regarding on this match.

But for saying he's doesn't have the same popularity as Pacman then we can agree to that. Some people compare him to the legend but in reality his so far to achieve that. He select his opponent and he didn't go out on his comfort zone. But if he can able to go to US to fight those big names on industry and get an outstanding win maybe those people who doubt about his legacy will totally agree that he's the nearest boxer who can break the record of Pacman or maybe became more better.

I very much agree on Pacman choosing on any opponent without being afraid of receiving a loss. The knockout he received from Juan Manuel Marquez would be enough to cause many boxers retire. However, this has only made Pacman stronger and win more championships in the welterweight division.

@Baofeng. Tank will be big for him, however. Also, he uses the contract agreements to get an advantage vs. his opponents. Naoya should not fight a man like him. The fight I would like to watch for Naoya next is Brandion Figueroa in the Featherweight division hehehe.

If there's more money in Vegas for Inoue then why is it that his Japanese promoter most of the time has bigger offer than Bob Arum and ESPN? That's the reason why Inoue most of the time is fighting in Japan because of the bigger purse than fighting in the US.

I also believe Pacman was willing to fight anyone during his time. The same case with Inoue. Inoue fought 4 times in unification fights while Pacman only tried it twice and he also failed to win them.

Inoue is expected to move up in weight next year. I don't care who he faces but it should be for the belt. Figueroa has no belt at the moment.

I was scratching my head on what you replied because it would be impossible for Japanese promoters to compete with the type of money inflows that goes through Las Vegas' promoters. However, after asking my friend Google, it appears you are correct heheheh. But this does not imply that Las Vegas has less money. This only implies that Las Vegas has a different type of audience. According to boxing forums, not much of the American audience will pay to watch a main event in the featherweight division or under this. This is also certainly why Stephen Fulton agreed to fight in Japan. There was more money hehe.

Probably could be that the is given more because his opponents chooses to accept that they are the B-side and maybe who knows, Inoue getting as high as 80/20 split in his every fight in Japan and his opponents can't do anything about it.

Inoue can please the Vegas crowd for sure, with his knockout highlight reels. Imagine if him and Fulton fight in the US, that is a American fighter and I think Fulton can bring fans to the arena because he is a great fighter and Vegas appreciates it. But then again, if Inoue can get the same amount and then feels comfortable then why travel to Vegas? Maybe his camp has a different concept.

Bob Arum is an experienced person and he is promoter who has created many great fights and has brought several fighters to extraordinary success.
But regarding this fight which will take place in Japan, there is really nothing to worry about because right now sales in this event have reached $20 million and this fight is not only about being able to put the championship belt on the line but also to produce money.


Changes such as this one have been occurring for the past few years because other nations are also prospering and right now as we can see, they can promote such high-quality fights in their country and not only there, as of now, we often see some major fights happening in the middle-east as well which wasn't the case before. So as long as they can sell the fights, they don't really care in which country it is as long they secure the safety of the boxers and their earnings. Money can really change almost anything and this scenario is one of the examples we are seeing right now. Pacquiao was a nobody before he came out to the US and everything changed positively for him after that and that was not the case for Inoue right now.

I do agree, but if Inoue wanted to be different from the rest of the boxers and become a legend himself in the future, regardless of the money that he will get from his native country, he should be sort of getting out of his comfort zone and fight in the US.

He could be the next Manny if he will fight in the US and gain a huge fan base there. But I guess it's not their plan to fight outside of Japan as obviously in his last 4-5 fights, all of them are inside his country and most of the time his fans in the US might have missed it because of time difference.
