Seeing how easily Inoue destroyed Fulton does not give me any confidence in Tapales. Tapales' record is unimpressive. He's slower than Inoue and he doesn't have enough power to even make me think he has a puncher's chance. This should be a nice showcase for Inoue. It would be the ideal opportunity to fight in Las Vegas and gain more recognition outside of Japan.

I was thinking of making a thread of this particular fight, but you made it first. Hehe.
Anyway, this fight is going to be great for sure. Tapales is quite bigger than Inoue, but we all know the power of Inoue. Personally, I do believe that Inoue would still win the fight as he is very dominant. I think no one can stop him in the current division he is at. His win against Fulton is a big statement that he could dominate the division again, so I will already book this; it will be another Inoue's KO win.
It says it's going to happen this year, so we don't need to wait any longer.

Not belittling the Filipino here, but I think Tapales will have a slim chance against the monster Inoue. We have seen how he just eruption on American Fulton, the 2 belt champion as well and just didn't give him the breathing room and I don't think that Fulton win a round against Inoue and then the knockout power of Inoue will be too much for anyone.
So not sure what strategy the camp of Tapales will do against Inoue. Naoya is just reaching his prime right now and it's hard to stop a fighter like that who is very complete in my opinion.

Venue: Japan (tentative)
Date: November (tentative)
Marlon Tapales was given the go signal to fight either Fulton or Inoue for the unified title and with the latter winning the bout last night, Tapales vs Inoue is a sure go AFAIC.
Inoue have said that he will be the unified champion at the end of the year so most likely this fight will happen on the fourth quarter of the year.
With Inoue's superb performance last night, do you think that Tapales has a chance to dethroned Inoue and became the first ever Filipino boxer to unified the four prestigious belt?
