Topic: [Boxing] Inoue vs Tapales for Unified Super Bantamweight Title - December 26 - page 26. (Read 5338 times)

Well, it should be noted that first of all, greetings to the people of the Philippines and yes, there is something that I admire a lot about the Filipinos, it is the material they have to train boxers like them, but it is not that I am entering a casino, not at all, but you must understand. something, to measure up to one of the greats like Inoue, he must be training already and very hard, I believe a lot in the abilities of boxers who are old, who are mature and who can obviously make the difference and get ahead of the They are very young, because they have something I already know like experience, which is why I know that when we see that there are boxers like Inoue who have shown many things, leaving all their titles just to move to the category they are in, I think that not everyone does that, and obviously it is not that Nnonito is a bad boxer, no, he is a boxer who is there and still has a lot to give, but when I make the comparison with one Inoue, with great respect I say that ' {He must train a lot to be able to face him, just like Tyson did, he was the undisputed heavyweight champion and he never gave up on his training, every day he trained as if he were going to fight someone, but why? In order not to lose shape, at the time when a fight came up, he was already very prepared.

So when he had a pending fight, he increased the level of his training, that is, that man began to train so hard that in order to have that body he could resist it, which is why he now suffers a lot from Sciatic Nerve, because his effort was far above what his body could withstand, that is what I mean by Nonito, he can be like that, in fact Filipinos have a special DNA for boxing, they are people who They have that natural talent, so the talent + training because they make super boxers, that's what Inoue does, that's why he's doing so well.

Fight gonna be fantasy though, I mean they met when Donaire might be in the sunset of his career. But yeah, maybe a prime Donaire that destroys everyone at bantamweight, or even a prime Inoue, it might be a different story. Donaire's weaknesses is fighting taller guy or moving up in weight class.
But if he remains at bantawmeight and fight smaller guys than him, he will have a good chance that he is going to knock that opponent out with either left hook or his upper cut.
The landscape though is very different for Inoue now, he is at the prime years and it's hard to see him beaten by Tapales here, IMHO.

Good point and it's valid, if they met during Donaire's prime I can also agree that it might be a different outcome, just look what happened from the first met Donaire coming from a long vacation and almost beat that prime Inoue.

The rematch might seem to be dominated by Inoue, as expected, since he already knew what Donaire can do
and he's well prepared for what Donaire can bring, and just easily counter him and bring him down.

It's not really a shame because Donaire has proved enough in the industry of what he can do, he achieved enough that Manny Pacquiao himself trusted and passed the torch to him to make the Filipinos proud, and as a Filipino, I'm proud of what he has become but when it comes to reality, it's hard to argue that Donaire is already in the sunset of his career while Inoue is still at his sunrise.

We can say that age might not be a factor but that is not really the case because let's not forget that Donaire is already at his 40s and it's hard to say really that he still have the power and speed to keep up with the guys who are still on the height of their prime like Naoya Inoue.

However, I don't think the same strategy would work against Inoue. But let's see; maybe they are practicing something to target the weakness of Inoue, which has not yet been unveiled. So, if Tapales would be able to exploit it, then he will receive all the praises from the boxing fans, and he can justify that his previous win wasn't just due to luck.

Obviously, the world is rooting for Inoue to win, and if he proves us wrong after the fight, he could become one of the most popular boxers in the world.

Just one good punch from him to see what will be the reaction of Inoue. If he back pedalled it means he got hurt by the punch just like if the Inoue vs Donaire fight which for me is very close and could go either way.

So it's going to be a strategy and chess match game for Tapales and maybe he is more prepared to have that kind of battle. Unlike many Filipinos who uses their power to overcome their opponent, Tapales uses his brain, counterpunching and frustrate his opponent just like he did against Akhmadaliev. That's why Akhmadaliev can't believed that he lost that fight.

Oh yes, good analysis there. I actually forgot that he is a different fighter. Perhaps the strategy will be different and it may be better than what he did against Akhmadaliev. That may possibly be the weakness of strong punchers like Inoue. Remember when Pacquiao was knocked out face down by a strategist and a counter puncher too? Yes. Juan Manuel Marquez. He got the right spot to hit, the right timing, and the right opportunity to do it while PacMan is feeling greedy.
But this will need a strong chin and body for Tapales to resist all the punches first before he can read all the timing. If he could somehow land one good hit then perhaps this will become one of the biggest upsets in the boxing industry. It's too obvious that he will be a heavy underdog in this match.

I reckon this is the best news that I have heard from the side of Marlon Tapales and his team. This implies that they are taking this very serious and they will try to win this fight. However, nothing presently can beat the Monster Inoue and my only wish for Marlon Tapales' fans and bettors is for Tapales to bring a better fight than Stephen Fulton did.

In any case, where is the confirmed venue for this fight?

Also, what are the latest updates on the negotiations? I am tired of searching and everything I read are only rumors.

I think it's more of how Tapales can handle power, because as you have said, Inoue is powerful that he can even go up in weight and carry it. However, Magsayo has some heavy hands too so it will be a good experience and they can see if he has the chin to handle it.


It's deeply rooted on them, they love to help each other out so that there will be more Pinoy that can be a champion again. And for sure Manny Pacquiao might have visited them to give them the motivation to come up big in every fight.

It's good to hear that, fellow Filipinos help each other to prepare for a big fight like here in Tapales and who wouldn't be a fit as his training partner and sparring with Magsayo who is a heavy puncher and it might give Tapales some learning experienced.

As long as it this year, then it's good. Casimero will have a fight against a Japanese as well in Japan so for sure there are a lot of suitable dates that they can find and Saitama stadium has been the home of Inoue for many years now. So I wouldn't be surprised if the fight is going to be held in Saitama.

It helps to build better stamina, knowing Magsayo with really solid combinations. If they will take this sparring seriously, I think it will help
a lot, as Inoue is expected to have that strong type of punches.

I like the way Pinoy champ supporting another one, both can boost their skills from one another,
hopefully Tapales will learn things from how Magsayo play his strategy and execute his own
style of fighting.

Well, Filipinos do that for a reason and part of that same reason is to keep them warm and help them in pushing their limits. Honestly, this is the first time that I've heard mainly from you that Tapales and Magsayo used to spar with each other and that's great to know because both of them are helping each other since both of them are trying to make a name in their chosen weight class.

For the information of this bout, the last time I've heard is that Bob Arum and their Japanese counterpart is still finding some suitable date since this fight will happen at Tokyo, Japan. Lots of things should be considered first because this is also an undisputed fight where Inoue have a chance to follow Crawford's footstep in becoming a two time undisputed champion.

^^ It's no surprised that Filipino boxers spar against each other, I mean they are going to support and so we have seen two great champion in Magsayo and Tapales sparring and trying to get as much experience specially for Tapales as he might have a upcoming fight against Inoue.

Although the fight has been scheduled already, we haven't heard though the official announcement. Nevertheless it will not hurt if Marlon Tapales will also prepared or preparing because anytime, the fight could happen.

It's a shame that Donaire is a boxer that he didn't appreciate as he was, it's also that when compared to Inoue's career it's not anything, it's known that Inoue is literally a Monster when fighting, and he's also very very intelligent. So an Inoue with a Donaire is a big advantage, really, and I would think that right now Inoue is at a level of boxing where he can beat any boxer who comes his way, of course I say this because of what he has been demonstrating at all times. Personally, for me, Inoue cannot be compared to Donaire. Regarding Donaire, I think he needs to train a lot. I'm not saying because of his age, I'm saying it because of him, because of the things he can develop, as I have said on many occasions. , I am one of those who think that a boxer wins his fights at the time of his training, and if the training is stronger, more intense than that of the other boxer, then he will win, otherwise I believe that in a fight, unless If something extraordinary happens to the other person, they can win, but that rarely happens.

Well here you can see that the Japanese has a lot of discipline and that is something that normally every boxer should do, then things can go in his favor, one of the things that I admire most about the Japanese is that he is always training, maybe that is why It is very difficult for his opponents to beat them, because he is a boxer who gives everything at the right time, so in the end things will always turn out in his favor because it is difficult to match his level. not impossible, I know that Tpalñes is good, he is a boxer who has a lot of talent, he has good technique, his blows are forceful and have good action, they are deep and they really do damage when he hits it as it is, because it makes anyone sick. However, Inoue knows very well what his strengths are, and he knows how he should act, so in this order of ideas things can be more favorable towards Inoue just because of the degree of preparation he has.

Legit, Donaire, is good. Maybe if they met during his prime, the winning chance of Donaire is far better, but in that rematch
we all witness that Inoue already ignoring Donaire's strength.

He continually attacks and takes that counter and he didn't stop till Donaire kisses the floor and lost the fight,
that's how Inoue fight. Once he already understands his opponents, he will not hesitate to keep attacking and
throwing solid punches.

I think that is why a rematch has took place and that is to end all the issues once and for all, eventually, it was a 2-0 in favor of Inoue and Donaire haven't even had the chance to rally back and regain a momentum because he didn't anticipated the fact that he will face a much stronger and unpredictable Inoue who finished their fight in just like a whim. Although years have passed before their rematch but it's all the same to me, Donaire's good but his years are already over.

He has proven himself, and there's no question about that. However, is Akhmadaliev as good as Inoue, or even close to Inoue? If your answer is 'maybe' or 'yes,' then maybe it would justify that Tapales has a decent chance of upsetting Inoue. As for me, if Tapales wants to win, he should knock out Inoue or make him look like an amateur because if not, there's no way Tapales will be able to defeat the home favorite in front of the thousands of fans who will be watching the fight.

And that fight might lead Inoue to believed that he can win every fight. Sort of it motivates him, because of you look at it, if he can take the best punch of Donaire in 118 lbs and not get knockout, then for sure his next opponents can't knock him out.

And true to this, after this fight, all of his wins is via knockout as no one can stood against his power punches, not even Donaire in their rematch. So Tapales will really need everything here to be able to pull an upset otherwise it will be Inoue again with his second weight class unification.

And if I may add to that, I don't think that Tapales though fit a Filipino fighter. I mean all of them are almost brawler, knockout artist. Manny Pacquiao's left, Donaire's hook and Casimero's power.

On the other hand, Tapales is more of a crafty and thinking fighter. That's how he manage to beat Akhmadaliev, as he outsmart him with this jab and counter and then preserved the win in the judges scorecard and perhaps he is not well known about Filipino boxing fans and communities.

Inoue, though, has a solid chin, as he was able to withstand the hard punches he received from Donaire. Maybe Inoue was overwhelmed at that time, considering Donaire is a popular boxer and he respected his power. However, Inoue made the right adjustment, using his jab effectively to dictate the fight. In the later rounds, when Donaire got tired, Inoue hit him with his signature punch that made Donaire kneel down. It was an intense fight, but the second half was dominated by Inoue, which I think he deserved to win and become a champion in that fight.
