Topic: [Boxing] Inoue vs Tapales for Unified Super Bantamweight Title - December 26 - page 35. (Read 5425 times)

The likelihood of a Casimero vs Inoue fight happening rests largely on Tapales' decision. If he doesn't agree with the offer, he'll retain his championship and face comparatively easier opponents than Inoue. Meanwhile, as Casimero keeps securing victories, he would gradually rise as the top challenger. Eventually, Inoue would have no choice but to accept the challenge.

I believe this scenario presents a more positive and entertaining outlook.

Hehe I speculate Inoue will make Casimero chase him to featherweight instead of waiting for Casimero unless Inoue cannot say no to the money being offered to him in super bantamweight.

Let us remember that Inoue is chasing his legacy to be the greatest pound for pound boxer in the world. He cannot get this by wasting time in super bantamweight if he unifies the championships. It will be featherweight for him and I wish we witness the great Pacman work with him.

I think it's possible if Inoue will stay in this division but if Tapales will agree to a unification match and Inoue manages to unify all the belts again,

The chance of seeing him moving to another division is possible and Casimero's chance of facing the monster
might not happen anymore, though we never know what fate for these two fighters, if they will face each
other or destiny really avoiding it to take place.

What we are witnessing these days are totally normal because every proposed bout has come to this point and it's not that easy to come with a deal specially if it will be an undisputed fight we're talking because surely both camp will always want to take advantage of it because not every boxer have come to this point, furthermore, talking about super bantamweight, the weight class itself haven't had any undisputed champion in the past since the four belt era was established that is why this bout will be important for the both of them.

Yes, that happened that is why we aren't hearing any news yet about the possibility of this fight because a discussion will be impossible to start with if they cannot find a way to agree with a certain deal. Tapales already assumed that it will be 60/40 deal but not that low just like what they have said, he too deserved to earn much profits from this fight because Tapales is also a champion, a 2-belt champion.


Hopefully this much awaited fight will happen much sooner mate before Inoue leaves 122 because if that will happen, a fight between them will be impossible to happen.

This fight is quite interesting, I personally like it when it's about Inoue, it doesn't matter if things happen with Tapales or someone else, as long as it's about him the fights are interesting, it's not to detract from Tapales , but here things go much further, everyone goes to what Tapales says or publishes, but it will be difficult for him to beat Inoue, so things can happen as usual, which is said to be Get involved with Inouer and then Inoue can win even by knockout, mainly things can happen like this, it's that for me Inoue is one of the greatest in boxing.

Now the things they can do here is that Inoue can make him a highly valued boxer, and that's why now they want it to happen, then:

Bob Arum says Gervonta Davis vs. Naoya Inoue is “stupid” idea






I do not Doubt this, I think that things can Happen in Many Ways , he is a boxer who has two belts, but by putting him with Inopue and I beat him, for him he has to continue Fighting with others who are Very famous, already They said that they would Kill Inoue if they fought him , the other is that those fights between those famous Boxers who Talk so much about looking through their Camp for the fight to take place, it's very easy to say things , but it's different when in They really want the fight to happen, I do want things to happen with these boxers , just because I like how Inoue shuts them up When he Wins and even more so if They go to their Land in Japan.

Turns out that they are really just that too greedy with money and asking out a bigger slice of the pie and trying out not to make out some good sharing in between Tapales just because they are much popular than him?
It is really just that right that Tapales team wont really be that pushing through the fight if they wont really be getting the fair share on which they are really that pushing that they are really that much more worth or have the right on getting bigger which we know that Tapales is indeed a champion too on which he does have the right on getting a fair share since he's holding two belts too on which it is really just that normal that he would be getting that nor equal or not really just that too far off on whats his position and not really just Inoue's camp is really getting the bigger slice which its totally not fair at all.Whether we do like it or not then it would really be depending on Tapales team if they would be able to push or demand on what should really be theirs too and if these two teams cant really understand nor having no agreement with these numbers then it wont push through which it is really just that sad knowing that this fight is already that been anticipated. It is really just that because of revenue or profit sharing kind of conflict which a good fight or must awaited
wont really be able to proceed on.

It's possible, but we never heard the camp of Inoue debunking what Tapales and his team has said in the public. So for me that is a sign that this might be true. That they offered the team of Tapales a money not deserving for them.


We can't argue that Inoue is the more popular fighter between the two and if the fight is held in Japan then for sure he can bring his fans to watch the fight and fill the Saitama Arena again. But they should also respect that Tapales is also a 2 belt fighter, not just a ordinary challenger for them.

I agree, the Tapales camp should be greedy on the price money now.  Irrespective on how they got the belt, they have 2 belt each and Inoue's dream of becoming undisputed will not happen if Tapales camp refuse to make a deal.  I think Tapales camp should be wise this time, maximizing a one time opportunity to rake huge amount in the fight, if possible I would strive for 55-45 (Tapales - Inoue) pot.  After all Inoue is the one aiming for being undisputed.


Speaking of Casimero, there are some news that he will be facing a former world champion Kokuni Yojo on October.  It was announced on one of the live Vlog of the brother of Casimero, Jason Casimero.

We never know if it's for real or it's just another way to bring more attention to this possible upcoming fight,
it's also possible that they are getting that attention to bring more hype.

But I like that opinion, Tapales earned it after winning that title fight and since he's holding 2 belts, he deserves to get that
share even Inoue is more popular than him.

More on how both camps will discuss this concern and how they will settle it to bring the fight into reality.

I believe that would already be considered becoming an undisputed champion, not just a unified one. Essentially, both fighters would hold 2 belts each, and if Inoue were to win, he would possess 4 belts. Please correct me if I'm mistaken.

A 50:50 share should be reasonable, but a split of 45:55 could also be acceptable. Anything below 45% might be too low for Tapales' camp to consider.

Given the likelihood that Tapales will probably lose, it would be wise to be strategic and view this as an opportunity to maximize income. So, a share no lower than 45% would make sense.



Inoue will be facing challengers, which seems like a waste of time for him since it's evident that he will win. However, if he were to fight against Casimero, whom the fans are still expecting to see him dance with the ring, I believe that would truly excite the crowd.

And that is what we are saying, he holds the other 2 belts that is important for Inoue to become a unified champion again. So Tapales deserves a good pay check here. It might not be like 50:50 as Inoue is the A-side, but at least a good to decent offer from them.


If might not happen the soonest. If Inoue will defend his belt and then Tapales rematches Akhmadaliev, then I think that is still a good match. Nevertheless, they have to win both of their fight to stay in the collision course for next year.

That's right, Tapales earned that by winning the championship, so he deserves to have a good payday in an undisputed boxing match. It's not just about the money; it's mostly about pride. No boxer who is already a champion and holds 2 belts would accept a very low purse. I stand by Tapales' decision here; it's not about who the more popular boxer is, but rather the worth of their current titles.

If Inoue does not agree to Tapales' demand, then the undisputed fight won't happen, resulting in both of them missing out on a good earning opportunity. There haven't been any developments yet about the news, but hopefully, they'll provide an update soon because the fight is expected to take place this year.

Negotiations has started with the Tapales group, and as what we have been reading it's not good offer from the inoue team. For sure, if Inoue is chasing greatness, then they should offer good money to Tapales and not disrespect him as a champion.

One Inoue vs Casimero, if Inoue wanted to stay at super bantamweight and if by chance Casimero become somewhat of the mandatory challenger, then for sure Inoue will give up to the pressure of fighting Casimero as this has been one of the most anticipated ever since their bantamweight days.

Yes I am quite certain Pacman offered his services if will move up to a heavier weight division again. However, if he was telling the interviewer that he would help in Inoue's training for the fight against Tapales, I would be very skeptical this heheheh. I might put money on Tapales hehhehee.

On Tapales not happy with team Inoue's offer, this is part of negotiations. The team of Tapales knows that Inoue needs the IBF and WBA championships because the Japanese boxer is chasing history.

On Inoue vs. Casimero, if the money is not enough, I reckon Inoue will chase history again and challenge the champions in featherweight.

This fight is for Inoue no matter how good or bad Tapales is. The thing here is that Tapales should be compensated the right amount for being the holder of the two belts as Inoue won't be a unified champion if he won't fight Tapales or the latter will fought another boxer so the dream of Inoue to be a 2-division unified champion will take some time or may not happen anymore.

Yes, because there are no blueprint on how to beat him, the closest that we can see him being defeated is in the first Donaire dight. But as you can see, he improved a lot from time fight and it's very quick improvement that we all forget how close Donaire was beating him in that fight and we have given Nonito a chance in the rematch but clearly the Monster been improving.

So it's very difficult for Tapales and his team t have a good strategy even if they are close in the ring and watching his fight against Fulton. I think one way to beat Inoue is that you should be the taller guy with a good length and jab of course so that you can keep him at bay. But still you can be a target of Inoue's power punching your body so it the later round you might be soften already and Inoue can deliver that knockout. And Tapales doesn't have the height and reach advantage against Inoue.

Let's say Marlon Tapales really developed and improved his speed, expect that the same goes for Naoya Inoue.

Surpassing Inoue at almost the entire of the Japanese monster advantages is really tough. We can't expect a big development for Tapales within just several months as to surpass Inoue at anything, it needs boxing experience. Beating Inoue though will really bring something big for Tapales. I hope that will be the reason for Tapales to fuel his determination to win.

For me, not being a bullsh*t here but I really don't see a way how Tapales will beat Naoya Inoue. It's not the same as Pacquiao being the heavy underdog during their fight against the prime Marco Antonio Barrera. But still, I will support my countrymen here and expect that something special will happened in their fight.

I think there's an impact on him mentally, with that advice he will do everything to improve his footworks and if he will manage to review all those Inoue previous fights, he can start learn from it.

This opportunity to fight Inoue and unify all the belts is something that may change his career forever,
if by chance he disappoints Inoue knowing that he's the heavy favorite here, Tapales will surely enjoy
the luxury life is a little like how Pacquiao is enjoying himself.

Let's just hope that Tapales develop speed and quickness which is way faster than Inoue.  If Tapales can't surpass the speed of Inoue, no matter how good his footwork is, he will always get caught open.  Tapales must develop quicker jabs, faster straight punches and uppercut punches, and timed evasion making Inoue open due to missing punches.  It may be a very hard task but if Tapales really wanted to have a higher chance of winning then he must do it.  There may be a way where he doesn't need these adjustments, and that is, to be able to absorb Inoue's punches and have the devastating punches that can render Inoue incapable of continuing the fight.

If there are no changes in the ability of Tapales, I don't see him winning the fight against Inoue.
