^^ I guess you have to follow their social media, specially Inoue as he posted some of his trainings and sparrings, not that much on Tapales though. Maybe he just want to remain private, but obviously he has been training very hard for this.
Yeah, why not? maybe Tapales will have enough stamina to go full 12 rounds, uses his skills, being awkward to caught Inoue off guard and score points.
Or maybe Inoue just waking up in the wrong side of the belt? Anything can happen and if you bet on the underdog then it could be one of your biggest wins this year?

However, I don't the video promotion though, there's no highlight for Tapales, he was just shown briefly when he steps on the ring after Inoue defeated Fulton.
Top Rank should have done better than this, https://twitter.com/trboxing/status/1729289372305084627

I cannot believe this fight has less than 1 month of waiting! Does anyone have news updates, articles of boxing analysts and promotional videos? Also, are there videos of their training sessions? I reckon Marlon might be training more for stamina and he might have a style that will take him to a decision very much similar to Nonito Donaire hehe. I am a fan of Inoue, however, I want to watch a thrilling fight between these 2 champions. Also if anyone has observed from my posts, I also like underdogs hehehehe.

I don't care about this promotional video, so it's no big deal what's in it.
What matters is that this fight will happen as scheduled. In reality, this fight doesn't need much effort to market because people will certainly watch it. More marketing might be necessary if the fight were held in neutral territory, but given that it's in Japan where Inoue is currently the best boxer, this isn't needed. People will watch and support him regardless.

And that's why promotional videos are made, because there is already a scheduled fight. If there is no promotion or marketing of this fight, we will not known about it. However, since this is going to happen again in Inoue's backyard, definitely, it won't get any from the US soil specially that he is fighting a non-US fighter.
Only hard core boxing fans are going to watch it from the States. And so it's really betting for Inoue to get out of his comfort zone and go to US as we have been saying.
So promotions are needed even if the fight is going to be in Japan just saying, boxing fans are everyone involved knows that it's needed.
And that's why there are fight that have storyline and hype to make money and let the fans knows that.
trying to right into other places or country as long he's building up his career records then this is something that they would really be focusing but if they are really having plans when it comes to more
revenue or money making in each fight then it would be best that he should really be going out.
Inoue is already making a name for himself specially on boxing world. Trying out to unify the belt as of this moment with this current weigh division. POpularity would increase if he
would be doing that again on beating up Tapales but lets not remove into our minds about those probabilities considering that Tapales is also a champion so
underestimating him would really be not idea.

And the fact that Inoue's name is damn hot at the moment, he's been treated as one of the top boxers from this era, people will watch
it and will be willing to spend money to see how Inoue continues his dominance.
For Tapales, it's his chance to showcase what he got, upsetting the monster in front of his home crowd will be a great achievement
in his career, I'm sure that's what he wants but the big question is how he will do it.
Can only conclude in the eyes of the fans, but the reality will take place when they are already fighting, and announcer declared who wins the fight.

Yeah, but maybe it will backfire on Top Rank if they didn't included Tapales in the promotion of the fight. Who knows, if Tapales has the perfect strategy and the God of boxing smile on him, he can pull that upset from the Monster.
Inoue is too much of favorite and he gets much more hype than Tapales so in this promotion Tapales is not included that much and I think this is all for the sake of the audience to attract more people for the purpose of making more money.But it wasn't problem for Tapales because he was also great boxer and had won several championship titles which he even defended for several periods.
Everything could be worth it if Tapales manages to beat Inoue, as you said, who knows, Tapales has the perfect strategy and the boxing gods smile on him to bring victory.

And if I'm not mistaken, before the video is going out in the public, for sure they have shown this to MP, or Sean Gibbons as the President of MP and he should agree or not agree with the video and requested that Tapales deserves exposure as well.
In fact, this promotional video is already known by many people and even though some parties say this is unfair or inappropriate for Tapales, it is clear that it is no longer public secret.And the meaning of all this has of course been approved or actually has official permission to distribute it.

Although both are champions, I understand that the video is all about Inoue showcasing how great he is.
Tapales's camp should not feel bad about it. In my opinion, it's the right way to market the fight, considering Inoue's popularity compared to Tapales, who has just recently made a name in boxing. Given that the fight is taking place in Japan, the target audience is the Japanese market, and the promo video aims to convince more people that their hero is unbeatable. These are just promotional tactics, however, and they do not dictate the outcome of the fight. Tapales should continue with his rigorous training and aim to win. If he manages to upset the champion, it would be a huge success for him, and the effective promotion would likely result in a decent amount of earnings.

It looks like the one who created those highlights is biased, are they promoting Inoue too much? . That video doesn't look like the participants' match highlights but rather a promotional video for Inoue making an assumption that Inoue will win the upcoming fight.
Anyway I am still curious about the preparation of Tapales for this fight, I really like to see Tapales have an upset win on this but still, I know that is very slim considering how very skilled and all-rounded fighter Inoue is.
Nothing to say as expected, they wanted to promote Inoue to bring more attention
and they are assuming or most of them if not all are assuming that it is going to be an easy
match for Inoue knowing how great the Monster is.
Let's wait for the actual match to see if what Tapales can bring, all the hard work will be seen when they are already fighting inside the
ring. More on preparations and sparring to make sure he's ready when the time comes.

It did come from the promotional company of Inoue, which is Bob Arum's Top Rank, and maybe they are obviously the one handling the marketing so they will have to put more emphasis on their boxer and not Tapales.
Anyway I am still curious about the preparation of Tapales for this fight, I really like to see Tapales have an upset win on this but still, I know that is very slim considering how very skilled and all-rounded fighter Inoue is.
Last time we discussed, Tapales has been training everywhere, and back in the Philippines and sparring heavy Filipino hitters like Mark Magsayo and other super bantamweight fighters. And with that, he is 101% on training focus on this fight, really going full because this is his biggest fight of his career and he is facing the Monster. Nevertheless, we shouldn't discount that he still might have a very little chance, but he had done it before, upsetting champion and being the underdog.

Maybe they can include Tapales as pulling on of the biggest upsets when he defeated, Akhmadaliev.
Yes, his chances are slim, but who knows, Filipinos are known to be very tough and hungry fighter. He might give Inoue a very good fight here.

i could be wrong with that odds, 30% for almost a 90% win Inoue would be a loss for the bookie. i could just be giving tapales a big credit because he is also a champ. he wouldn't be in that position if he can't box. he still has lots of time in preparation but i remember fulton is close to that as well. kudos to tapales for not ducking the no. 2 p4p though. for a boxer who has seen firsthand what Inoue can do. it's a tough fight when you can foresee yourself taking the canvas temperature challenge with just one hit from the monster.
Lol, but it's true we have to give credit for Tapales, for having the "conjones" to face the number 2 p4p. But I guess he knows that he is on the collision course with Inoue specially when he upset Akhmadaliev and took his belt. As per the odds, no doubt that Inoue will be the outstanding favorite in this fight and it's like that he is a sure winner already. But he shouldn't underestimate the Filipino because he knows what he can do in the ring and it will create a lot of ripple if Inoue loses this one.
So we should give credit for Marlon, and from all the reports that we are seeing, he is sacrificing a lot on his end like training very hard not just in US but also in Baguio the Philippines and facing a lot of good Filipino fighters to get himself feeling the power.

As for the long training time of Tapales which runs for more than 4 months and sparring high-level fighters in the very first month are very unusual. Normal fighters train between 2 to 3 months. They start light, go hardcore, and sparring is part of the final stages when the body is nearing its peak. Most fighters who overtrained in the past lost their fights which is why it is uncommon nowadays to have very long camps. But we'll see how this goes. I am somehow hoping for Tapales to show something big in this fight.
Tapales is pushing himself to train harder than his usual routine, and we can't blame him for it. He's going up against the best in the world in that division, and even though he's a champion himself, people see Inoue as more dominant. So, Tapales has to prove them wrong and earn the respect he deserves.
It's good to hear that Tapales is pushing himself very hard in training. That is the sign that he wanted to really show that he is the one that will give Inoue the lost. And we like that kind of mindset for a boxer and I think they all learn it from the great Manny Pacman Pacquiao. I mean you could have all the talent in the world, but if you don't put your ass off and train hard, you will end up for nothing.
Moreover, if Tapales were to win this fight, he would bring honor to the Philippines, and people might start thinking of him as the next Pacman. Just imagine, a pound-for-pound top fighter falling at the hands of a Filipino underdog champion. That would certainly grab major attention once the news gets out. But for that to happen, Tapales needs to ensure he scores a massive upset win here.
Definitely, I don't think that the Philippines has a reigning world champion except himself at this time. So he needs to continue and fight and should be retaining that belt at all cost as he doesn't want to earn the year without any Filipino champion. He needs to sacrifice more to continue the Filipino tradition and follow the path of Manny and other great champion before him.
even when tapales is in his prime years, he'd lose this fight. Inoue is just a different monster, tapales be lucky if he survives 12 rounds but most probably it's going to be Inoue by KO.
betting is still yet open but the odds will probably be Inoue 1.3 vs Tapales 3.4 you have to be a die-hard fan of Tapales to actually bank on him. he is a champ though and by any chance there will be an upset, it's a facepalm to Inoue fans.
You are right that beating up the monster is really that hard and something a very tough challenge in Tapales career but he wont be called a champion for nothing.
They do make out preparations for this upcoming fight on which we could say that he's really that determined because he do knows on whats stake on this one.
3.4 odds? It isnt really that a bad one but 1.3 for Inoue would be most likely be interesting to put up some all in bet.

He wants to win, so he has no choice but to train hard, especially since Inoue isn't an ordinary fighter—he's called 'The Beast' for a reason. Inoue is also training hard for this unification fight; it's a big bout for him, and success here will be added to his resume. As we all know, Inoue could make history if he keeps winning championships in every division he climbs to.

If the fight between Ancajas and Inoue wasn't postponed, we could probably have another champion. Now we only have one, and there's a risk of losing it if he can't beat Inoue's style. Hopefully, he will win, but I don't expect a lot though.

I agree with you on that. It's hard to be biased; we're not blind, and we can see how good Inoue is and how powerful his punches are. If we look at how he beats his opponents, it's easy to tell that he always dominates. His opponents are afraid to trade punches in a toe-to-toe fight; they just fight to survive but still end up failing. Their only chance is to prolong the fight, but there's no chance of winning.betting is still yet open but the odds will probably be Inoue 1.3 vs Tapales 3.4 you have to be a die-hard fan of Tapales to actually bank on him. he is a champ though and by any chance there will be an upset, it's a facepalm to Inoue fans.
No, I guess if the odds of inoue is 1.30, I think I'll take it as it's an easy money.
