Topic: [Boxing] Inoue vs Tapales for Unified Super Bantamweight Title - December 26 - page 38. (Read 5425 times)

It seems to me that the Tapales camp are not taking their chances away that is why they are trying to ask for a much higher figures compared to what was originally proposed to them before they proceed to the undisputed discussion. They probably know that Tapales doesn't have much chances that is why they are playing the cards that is dealt on their hand while Inoue is still trying to unify all four belts and without Tapales, that goal will not be fulfilled.

Meanwhile for Casimero, he does have more chances to be ordered as the mandatory challenger for the WBO belt instead of Luis Nery because the latter doesn't have any titles with him while Casimero got the WBO Global title. Since super bantam doesn't have any interim champions, that means that Casimero will soon be lifted to be a challenger.

casimero's name is not on the top list for the next-to-be opponent of inoue. tapales, on the other hand, is more likely to get the next fight here. from the looks of it, inoue has high chance of winning this unification fight. if nothing else, tapales can get a very handsome amount of money from this fight. but filipinos are known to give a good toe-to-toe fight inside the ring. so inoue might have a very good challenge to get this unification belt.

I can agree that if Inoue's camp will give that shot to Casimero even in a much lesser shared offer, Casimero's camp will bite it,
an open opportunity will always give them a chance to have that taste of Inoue's power.

On the side of Tapales, maybe they know and feel that he's no match with Inoue, so making money is what they are aiming for
and not any legacy. He's in front when Inoue's snatch the belt from Fulton, and with any comparison, Inoue has a higher edge
against him.

Hope this will be considered despite the fact that Casimero is currently not in the top rankings and might not even get a chance to be a contender right away for a championship belt. But maybe there's room for any chances and be considered, being him as a former champion in the 118 lbs. In the first place though, there is unfinished business between him and Inoue but the pandemic spoiled it. They can consider continuing that right now.

Don't mind the share of the pie and Casimero can just accept whatever the offer is as long as obviously, is not that totally a joke offer.

Legacy > Money for now on Casimero as the goal is to have him exchange fist with Inoue to now settle the scores. Referring to the Tapales camp, I can't comment much on the possible cancellation by them because the figures are not mentioned on how much share they will get on the pie. "No offense" but Tapales camp also knows that even as a champion, they also think that Inoue is too much for their guy and they like to demand more money instead of building a legacy. They didn't realize that more money will come to them if their guy will beat Inoue. Every boxer always wants to be in an unification fight.

Because he can beat everybody in divisions where he can manage his power and speed and as long as he can carry that speed and power he is dangerous, he has a blinding speed like Pacquiao, in boxing speed and power is everything, Pacquiao has done it carrying both in the higher weight category, Inoue can conquer territories if his body mass is built properly that could hamper his speed, sometimes I am in awed how Pacquiao manage to build his body mass perfectly while maintaining his speed and power.
Inoue has someone to look up to when continuously moving from upper weight and that is Manny Pacquiao.

With the way Inoue's camp is handling his career, I'm almost certain that after a win against Tapales, they're ready to take the next step and jump another weight class. He's primed to get several weight classes and he's being groomed to be the next Manny Pacquiao, at least in climbing several ladders and being the top of the chain on each of them. Even at 30 years old, Inoue's speed and power is still impeccable, that even Stephen Fulton, a man quite known for having a strong chin, drops after receiving one hook from the Japanese boxer.

He's going to go a lot more places than where's he's at right now and I'm certain of it.


Inoue is like a completionist in a video game: taking up every possible achievement there is before moving on to the next. I'm sure his camp would also want that to happen, and to also prepare him for the next weight up. Sort of like defeating the last boss on every floor before moving on to the next level. They wouldn't want their champion to experience defeat by not being prepared for the said weight class, so they'd farm a lot of experience and study their opponents before taking the fight head on.

Basing up on the behavior specially on trying out to take those belts from Fulton despite of jumping into higher weight division then we can safely tell or say he would definitely be rushing up on taking different divisions on
which i do have a feeling that he would be thriving that kind of particular goals but of course in speaking about being undisputed then for sure he would really be doing that specially with this new weight division
which fighting up Tapales would be the only way on doing so knowing that the other two belts had been held by Tapales. It would really be just normal that Inoue would really be having this kind of approach.
On the time that he would really be able to get those all belts then just like into his previous weight division then i wont really be shocked if he would be making up some another step.
He's now 30 and he had only a decade on trying out on achieving something.Therefore, this would be some sort of fast pace on trying out to dominate certain divisions.

Their decision can always change in any given moment and time because considering that Naoya Inoue is now 30 years old, there might be changes in his weight which will become a factor of a possible climb towards the next weight class. The only thing that they are giving a priority right now is a fight with Marlon Tapales for the undisputed champion. After that, there is no telling what will happen and a few title defense might not happen as well considering the factors I've mentioned above.

A Casimero fight might be inviting for some promoters, but totally not going to be the highlight. There are still some great challengers out there that might eye on the title that Inoue currently holds. It's possible that Inoue eyes for another belt and just vacate it once the ruling bodies ordered him to do so. He's just going to prove that he's the best fighter in that division before probably moving up and challenging the reigning champions there. Right now, he's the hottest boxer that a lot of people are looking at, and there's countless opportunities for him to go against other boxers and he'll never run out of offers, that's for sure.

I agree, it will depend on his team if he will going to change his division or will stay at it. He has a lot of belts in that division maybe he will stay in that division to improve or to make himself still the king in that division and he will going to fight with casimero. I've been following casimero before so if this fight with tapales is done , I am looking forward for the next challenger to Inoue I hope it is Casimero.

Well, I also have a position here, for me Casimero is the ideal fighter for Inoue as well, if we put him to fight Tapalñes it's obvious that Inoue is going to defeat him, it's not that I'm saying that Tpales is bad or that I'm underestimating him, but come on, you just have to see what he did to Fulton, Futlton came out with a forward and backward manner, he did not realize when he beat him, there were so many things as Inoue cornered him, there were so many accurate blows that Inoue gave that Fulton had no choice but to accept his defeat, but I don't know how much is going through Fulton's mind, but I know that he did not imagine that things would have been this hard for him, it is something that did not fit in his head He really imagined that fight in another way.

Now everyone wants to fight Inoue , they can't get over the fact that Inoue is a boxer on Another Level, and this is something they must accept, because first things are not as they think , but as they are , they cannot accept that Inoue came not to lose, and what I like about this is that Inoue is not a braggart like the other boxers , he is a quiet boxer, he just does his job, he concentrates on winning and that's it, he doesn't give much to talk about, they look for him to challenge him, Inoue here He must be very selective, he must go with the most experienced in this category so that he can be even more famous , what I want is that this boxer will have Many more opportunities , the best thing is that he can continue to emerge and rise in the category.

A very interesting article about the boxers of the moment, what I like about all this is that doing a close up of each one of these boxing monsters is that we have a great generation of good boxers, of course not like ALI, Tyson , but I think they are on the right track, I really like when boxers go up in category, for me the best of the best and when they are in the heavyweight category, because it is like the highest degree of professionalism. to which they can reach, and that is like the peak, it is when the best and most exciting fights take place , I would like these boxers to be Able to Reach that Level.

That will be a mystery for now because that is quite too far from the situation they currently have. Step by step, we will get to that discussion because for now, Naoya Inoue is still a 2-belt champion and just had his first bout in super-bantamweight. In the upcoming months, we might see some improvement while Inoue and Tapales's camp are discussing about the upcoming undisputed fight, hopefully they can agree on it and make another fight before this year ends so that Inoue's timetable will be much more manageable.

It depends if Inoue's camp are planning to make him stay in his current division for long, it has been said that he will stay for like one or two title defense fight considering that he is already the undisputed champion but after that, there's no telling if he will stay or not as there is also a chance that he will climb the next weight class and try to be a champion again.

So, these sanctioning bodies may throw successive mandatory fights towards Inoue if they want but nothing will stop him if they are already inclined to fight in the next weight class. He will be stripped for sure if that is the case but that will become irrelevant as he already unified all those belts beforehand.

Yup, those sanctioning bodies also want to earn some money by doing mandatory fights but the goal of Inoue is to be a unified champion at 122 lbs and after that he could relinquish some of the belts that he doesn't want to depend but first, he needs to fight Tapales to achieve his goal and give the latter the appropriate money for that fight as it a big fight that I think would earn big money.

Luis Nerry or Casimero is the fight they target before going up.

Whether it's with Tapales or Casimero, we're all for the support to any of our kababayan. But I think I'd love to see Casimero have his match against Inoue since after the last match of him with Donaire, it should be done but many things have changed and it didn't happened.

So, it should be like a pass for both Pinoy fighters before they can proceed to Inoue. Sounds interesting. It's gonna be like a gateway before they reach the final boss which is Inoue.

Hopefully that will be the case for Inoue, stay at the top of 122 lbs division for at least to defend the belt. The problem though if by chance Inoue had all the belts in this division, sanctioning bodies are going to have their mandatory. So it's very hard to defend all the belts that he had that he will have to vacant some of it and then defend either 1 or 2 belts only. And if he doesn't want to, then he can go up in the next weight class and for sure, that's one option as well that he and his team is looking for. So maybe a Casimero fight, as much as we want to see it, the chance are very slim, just saying.

They said that Inoue will stay for a while and will fight the challengers, so that would only mean that Casimero will be entertained. The timing is good; it's an opportunity for Inoue and Casimero to prove who the better fighter is. And of course, as the champion, Inoue would want to clear the doubts of the fans that he is ducking Casimero, so he'll probably give him that opportunity one day. Let's be optimistic.

I would love to see if these scenarios will come into the picture,

If Tapales will decline that said offer and Inoue will be open to another challenger, maybe the chance to see Casimero will
take place, and knowing how these two fighters have that unfinished rivalry way back from their lower divisions, maybe now
they will be able to conclude who's much better between them. Only if this option will be activated with Inoue's camp.

With this news, it will open up an opportunity for Casimero to fight Inoue. I'm sure the former would be willing to negotiate, even if he gets a smaller share, as long as he can prove to the world that he could really beat Inoue. In the first place, Marlon Tapales wasn't in the conversation years back; it was always Casimero who shadowed Inoue. So, it doesn't matter as the fans will still watch the fight if Inoue allows Casimero to challenge him.

Or here's another scenario: If Inoue really wants a champion, then maybe Casimero will challenge Tapales. If he beats the champion, then I'm sure Inoue will be more interested in the undisputed fight.

I agree, Inoue's a blast and despite we're with Tapales on this one as he's our kababayan. A champion should be respected with that but anyway how low is that offer? I have taken a look at the article but it didn't say anything of how low ball was the offer. I do understand that Tapales has got a team and they need to up their salaries on this match and if there's no agreement on this one and both of them refuses to take each other offers then we might truly see a collapse on this potential bout.

That's true. People will come over and watch for Inoue for this challenger despite we want to cheer Tapales on this one but we need to know how low balled they were.
