Yes, most likely this is the case for the camp of Murodjon Akhmadaliev.
They have been the champion and to be honest, we really haven't heard of Marlon Tapales before.
It was all Nonito Donaire and Casimero and other Filipino at 118-122 lbs, and Marlon is just climbing up.
But it was a total surprised when Marlon pull one of the biggest upset when he beat a tough Murodjon Akhmadaliev, outboxing him very clearly and the judge was right about the score.
Now Murodjon Akhmadaliev camp is going to figure it out on how to become a champion again and probably not make the same mistakes.

It was one of the biggest upset in boxing history as Murodjon Akhmadaliev is the heavy favorite to win that WBA/IBF unification fight but one thing good that Marlon Tapales did was adjusting his style on the fly and Akhmadaliev seems failed to adjust thus losing the fight.

Marlon Tapales was nobody before the fight Akhmadaliev and winning the fight against the latter was his big ticket for the unification of the 4 belts so i think the camp of Inoue should compensate him what is due for him as this could be the biggest fight of his career and of course the biggest payday if he will be paid justly.

Tapales was lucky enough to rid of Murodjon Akhmadaliev because the latter's camp hasn't had the idea to bring up a rematch clause before they draw and signed the contract of their fight. That gives me some though that perhaps it wasn't an honest mistake made by the team because they were the champion, and it was big hole that they didn't fill and so I think that they might've underestimated Tapales hence why there wasn't a rematch clause.

If Tapales beats Inoue it will go down in history as the biggest upset in boxing, bigger than Douglas upsetting Mike Tyson, This fight carries a lot of pressure for Tapales at this point of Inoue's career he is invincible and keeps getting better I believe he is not yet at the peak of his power and speed, and it's hard to stop Inoue's train from moving there is no fighter in the super bantamweight that can beat him and Inoue wants challenge so I'm sure after this fight he'll go for Featherweight where there a lot of great champions to challenge.
I just hope Tapales offers good resistance I don't expect too much from Tapales but a good resistance and hopefully he can expose Inoue's weakness.

Don't worry mate, it's not a disrespect if we're not saying these things to him face to face because we aren't even that close to him to begin with.
But since we are here to weigh the chances and to choose a much better option for our bets regardless of which boxer we support, it's somehow evident that Tapales's chance is quite lower compared to Inoue who have been dominating every boxer he has faced and Tapales will not be an exemption, and just like the others, he will be a stepping stone for Inoue.



And just to add up, Inoue is surely the heavy favorite here, and that's not disrespecting anyone but it's according to data though Tapales
might have more belts in this division than Inoue,

But the winning chance and the way of finishing the fight will side to Inoue, though as always, boxing is not exempted from those unusual outcomes.

Upset may take place as both fighters will have their time to train and to scout their opponents we never know
what Tapales camps will execute during the fight that might surprise and upset Inoue.. Just saying..

Both of them have the same amount of belts, Inoue holds the WBC and WBO while Tapales holds the other two, which is WBC and IBF.

Although, judging both fighters by how they claimed those said belts against their former opponent, Inoue had the amazing one because he defeated Fulton by a way of knockout which was believed as the more stronger compared to Akhmadallev while Tapales defeated Akhmadallev by a split decision. So, we can already say that Inoue truly have an edge in this fight even if we will forget their past five fights before they became a champion.

Could be equal though, I mean Tapales was the underdog against Akhmadallev and no one even give him a chance to win.
But look at what he do, he outsmart and out think Akhmadallev in their fight that Akhmadallev wasn't able to recover mentally.
And he wanted a rematch against Tapales because he was shook, but Tapales has bigger fish to catch and that is Naoya Inoue.
Nevertheless we really don't know if he can do it, to make another upset, and Tapales win here, it could really be the biggest upset of the year.

Perhaps they underestimated Tapales, assuming their fighter would easily defeat the challenger. However, the outcome was quite different—a closely contested match that ended in an upset. Now, Tapales holds the championship title and has an opportunity to prove himself against a terrifying opponent, a true warrior with a dominant track record. It's a big challenge for him as a boxer, but that's the nature of their profession. Boxers strive to face the best in order to become the best.

Strive to keep that hype and continue to stay at the top of the mountain,

Something that each fighter wanted to have during the peak of their careers. We are seeing that from how Inoue's trying
to unify another division and maybe, if still possible, to move to another division and try to duplicate the same achievements
that he got from the past division he went thru.

It seems like that's what happened because they were indeed champions, and in that fight, Tapales was a significant underdog. Even though I wasn't familiar with Tapales myself, when it comes to Filipino boxers, they're known for being courageous and not easily giving up, so overconfidence shouldn't have been the mindset even if you're a champion. What happened seemed like Tapales took a shortcut, unlike Casimero, who's currently struggling to get a championship fight after wasting his belt due to disqualification when he was in the bantamweight division.

Boxers strive to face the best in order to become the best.

I hope all boxers have this kind of mentality. Some of them are too focused on preserving their undefeated records, which sacrifices the quality of fights because their opponents aren't as skilled as they are.

Yes, I'm expecting that Tapales will really adjust, if he can change and have a good plan against Akhmadallev, then for sure, his trainer could have also scout Inoue when he fought Fulton as they are in the ring side watching the fight.

And maybe Tapales have taken advantage of that fight as well, maybe see what the flaws of Inoue or if they were able to look for small gaps that Inoue might have, like lapses in defense and opening when throwing his punches. And if they did, they the best plan for Tapales is to set Inoue up and then counter with that hook if Inoue throws looping right or straight right.

Many boxers have attempted to make adjustments when facing Inoue, but it often proves insufficient. Take the example of Fulton, who initially adopted a defensive approach, refraining from throwing many punches. However, in the later rounds, he took a risk and tried to become more aggressive, only to be caught by Inoue's power punches, resulting in a knockout.

If Tapales experiences Inoue's intimidating punching power, it's doubtful he will be able to execute his game plan. It wouldn't be surprising if he follows a similar pattern to other fighters who have faced Inoue, opting to minimize offensive engagement and focus more on defense in an attempt to prolong the fight.

On the other hand, Tapales does have good speed and a very hard punch,

Just like i said before, no matter how good Tapales is, this is Inoue's game, i mean This unification fight if pushes through is for Inoue to win and all they need to do is pay Marlon Tapales the right amount for them to get the Filipino fighter's nod.

Just a little trivia about Tapales, on his last fight against Akhmadallev, he change is fighting style to a counter-puncher which i think surprise the latter and never got the chance to adjust and this ultimately give the win to Tapales and who knows that he could surprise Inoue the same way he surprised Akhmadallev.

Power of Tapales might be underrated, but as you have said, he just toyed with Akhmadallev and counter him all night during their fight. And even though Tapales was caught several times, he has a good chin and then just used that counter very often that Akhmadallev become confused on the fight.

And the awkwardness of Tapales might be a plus for him in this fight. As Inoue is known to face technical fighters and so he is ready on what they are going to throw on him. But if Marlon is a very boxer that Inoue was expecting, it could be a very hard fight, just saying.

If Tapales will adjust more on that side, I mean to continue to practice and prepare for every possible attack and combination from Inoue
and also absorb those solid punches chances to win still possible.

Though on that same side were speaking about Inoue's power, that can only be concluded when they already facing each other.

Upset or a complete dominance from Inoue, either way can take place depending on what will be the outcome of the fight.

Yes, I'm expecting that Tapales will really adjust, if he can change and have a good plan against Akhmadallev, then for sure, his trainer could have also scout Inoue when he fought Fulton as they are in the ring side watching the fight.

If the fight goes the distance and the fight is held in Japan, I do not think that Tapales will have a chance of winning.  Japan judges is very known for biased decision  so Tapales needs to knock out Inoue in their upcoming fight because if the fight goes to the hand of the judges, no matter what the performance is, I believe they will give the win to Inoue.

Just a little trivia about Tapales, on his last fight against Akhmadallev, he change is fighting style to a counter-puncher which i think surprise the latter and never got the chance to adjust and this ultimately give the win to Tapales and who knows that he could surprise Inoue the same way he surprised Akhmadallev.

I believe the fighting style of Tapales had already been scouted by Inoue's camp so it is possible that Inoue's camp is adjusting and do training and adjustments according to the fighting data they gathered about Tapales.  I do not think luck will strike Tapales twice in a row so Tapales really needs to prepare very hard on this fight.

If both boxers are good, they would ensure that they undergo thorough training before the actual fight. However, we are no longer discussing their work ethics since they have already become champions. What we are currently doing is comparing their skills and talent in boxing, where it's very evident that Inoue has a significant advantage.

Let's assess Tapales before he became a champion. Wasn't he just an ordinary boxer? On the other hand, if we evaluate Inoue, he has already made a name for himself in the sport of boxing. Yes, upsets are possible, but in this fight, the chance is very slim for Tapales—no disrespect intended.

Akhmadaliev might be skilled, but he isn't on the same level as Inoue. Therefore, we could witness a different outcome if Tapales continues to absorb forceful punches from Inoue. With only 11 fights, Akhmadaliev is relatively inexperienced, even though 8 of those fights ended in KO. While he possesses power in his punches, the disparity between him and Inoue is substantial.

I believe Tapales needs to exercise caution and refine his counter-punching technique. Inoue tends to initiate aggressively in the early rounds, being the aggressor in most of his fights. Thus, a well-formulated game plan is essential for Tapales to execute effective counter-punching strategies.

Akhmadaliev was good but him alone wasn't enough to be comparable agaisnt Inoue, he might've had a good start in his career but he's still way too far from Inoue's league and with that, we can say that Tapales will indeed have a hard time facing agaisnt the Japanes champion. Although, that fight against Akhmadaliev will help him to be more cautious because it doesn't mean that his chin was really good enough to try and absorb Inoue's punches, well, if he will do that, I guess that will be the end of him. Even Nonito Donaire was confused about the outcome because he didn't anticipated it well.

I believe Tapales needs to exercise caution and refine his counter-punching technique. Inoue tends to initiate aggressively in the early rounds, being the aggressor in most of his fights. Thus, a well-formulated game plan is essential for Tapales to execute effective counter-punching strategies.

On the other hand, Tapales does have good speed and a very hard punch,

Just like i said before, no matter how good Tapales is, this is Inoue's game, i mean This unification fight if pushes through is for Inoue to win and all they need to do is pay Marlon Tapales the right amount for them to get the Filipino fighter's nod.

Just a little trivia about Tapales, on his last fight against Akhmadallev, he change is fighting style to a counter-puncher which i think surprise the latter and never got the chance to adjust and this ultimately give the win to Tapales and who knows that he could surprise Inoue the same way he surprised Akhmadallev.

Power of Tapales might be underrated, but as you have said, he just toyed with Akhmadallev and counter him all night during their fight. And even though Tapales was caught several times, he has a good chin and then just used that counter very often that Akhmadallev become confused on the fight.

And the awkwardness of Tapales might be a plus for him in this fight. As Inoue is known to face technical fighters and so he is ready on what they are going to throw on him. But if Marlon is a very boxer that Inoue was expecting, it could be a very hard fight, just saying.

We're all expecting another huge Inoue win here but it's also interesting to predict how the fight goes on. Tapales might be too underestimated here just like when Iron Mike underestimated his opponent during his fight in Japan which cost him his undefeated record.

It's a good thing that Tapales can shift from an aggressor to a counter-puncher and also he can be awkward. These are very much needed in order to confuse Inoue. Maybe Tapales is once again developing another strategy that is something new. Tapales don't have to match the speed of Inoue here, all he needs is the timing.
