He lasted 10 rounds, I can say Tapales does have a tough chin and the heart for the game. He is also crafty using his technical skills in the boxing ring and I think that's the best plan against the Monster. Battling him through a brawl would be a good strategy and I can see that they carefully studied everything so that they will have a chance to win the fight in a decision. He just needed two more rounds and who knows what the result will be if it ended on the judges decision.
Next time, I want to see Tapales strengthening those punches. Why? Because the Monster said in his interview that he will stay in the super bantamweight for now and that means another chance to claim the throne with all the belts on the line.
I bet Murodjon Akhmadaliev will also test Inoue and I do believe that if these two boxers clash we will see a brawl could happen.

For sure as he said before the fight, he came to Japan to win. And although he was hurt in round 4 and thought that the fight will not last, he had the Filipino mentality to go all in and finish the fight with his shield. He had same moments when he hit Inoue, but then again, Inoue's chin hasn't been crack.


Going to be a close one between him and Crawford. But there is a argument that Inoue is just being comfortable in Japan fighter.

I wanted for Inoue to get up in weight and challenges the featherweight division, I think he can become another weight division champion at 126-lbs. But it could be like 12 full rounds fight as he will be facing a natural bigger fighter now.

Thanks for the numbers, and yeah that's what Wilder said as well, he can't pull the trigger and that's why he only connected 9 out of 219 and that is a low percentage for a fighter like him who relies on his party.


Yes, it might be the Joshua will now going to face Parker is Saudi. It might be a blessing in disguise for him though, because his chances are going to move up. And then we all been waiting for Fury vs Joshua, all British war.

This is it, Inoue should be recognize to be at the top now with his win against Tapales, now holding all the belts and Japan are rejoicing with his victory. Inoue was very calm in the fight, although he know he could end Tapales in the early rounds but he prefer to stay calm, follow his game plan and try to wear down Tapales which actually what happen.

Inoue hasn't fought a serious opponent yet. I think that will only happen if he will move up in weight, again.

Naoya Inoue just made history by becoming only the second fighter to become a 2-division undisputed champion. It was a brilliant display of ring IQ, hand speed, footwork, and stamina as he disposed of Tapales in the 10th round. Tapales made the fight interesting as he came to win, unlike the previous Inoue opponents who went into survival mode once they tasted the power punches of the talented Japanese.

With the win, Inoue has a serious claim for the pound-for-pound throne that The Ring currently entrusts on Terrence Crawford, the first 2-division undisputed in the 4-belt era. Inoue is a 4 division champion while Crawford is only a 3-division champion.

GUYS! The game between Marlon Tapales and Naoya Inoue will be later. We are talking about minutes before their fight will happen. One of the biggest fight in the Super Bantamweight Division because this will tell if Inoue can dominate that weight class of if he will be stopped by a Filipino who had been the Mexican stopper although Inoue is a Japanese.

I would really love to see Tapalers win but Inoue is too strong for him. Still, I am a Filipino without any doubts so I will support my countryman. Tapales is my bet at 9.80 to win it.
I don't really care if he loses this fight. I will still be proud as his countryman because he achieved this far and somehow made it happen to fight against a boxer who is pursuing records to be broken.

Let's go Tapales!

Who wouldn't want that fight, but it seems that team Bivol has stop chasing Canelo for now, and he will be really at a disadvantage if they fight at 168. And I read that Canelo might be eyeing a different boxer to fight next, or at least this is what the trainer wanted,


https://www.boxingscene.com/trainer-jermall-charlo-hopes-canelo-fight-takes-place-2024--180287

So Canelo might fight both the teams and beat them both as well. I want Canelo to fight Bivol at 175 lbs because this is where they initially met, but if worst comes to worst, Bivol won't have any options if he looks for a money fight than agreeing to go down to super middle weight.

Also love to see Bivol and Beterbiev unifying the four belts at the 175-pound division but it seems their promotional companies are the ones keeping them to not fight each other.

I have read news/rumors that Canelo is eyeing a rematch with Bivol at 168 lbs to be held on May but with that potent rehydration clause which for me Bivol's team will reject as he will be vulnerable if he can't bulk-up.

I think it's because of the big money flowing in boxing due to the Saudi's, who love to host this king of big boxing events and for sure they will be the hub now for big fights specially in the Heavyweight division.

Not sure about Bivol though, I think I would love to see him and Beterbiev in the ring next.

Seems that Canelo is not yet interested to a rematch, there were even news that Canelo's next will be the supposedly original of the Charlo twin.

I was saddened as I really liked Deontay Wilder to win aswell, if I bet for this event I think I would lost because of Wilder, but that fight you can see how composed Joseph Parker was in that fight and this is an opportunity for him to now get Anthony Joshua a for Deontay Wilder that is his third last if he becomes more aggressive and pressure Joseph Parker more this could be a different story, but he waited for the right time to make a move and he was really looking for Joseph Parker's mistakes but all it does was for him to make mistake instead, that is why he lost this fight,


I feel really sad for Deontay Wilder that 2nd fight against Tyson Fury is not getting him any great and just exposes so much of him Joseph Parker knows something about this by surely watching the fight of Deontay Wilder against Tyson Fury he got clues on what he was going to do against him, for sure after this fight there are no available higher fights for Deontay Wilder anymore and Joseph Parker has proven that he is the new face actually I really want to see an Anthony Joshua VS Deontay Wilder fight but that is not going to happen now, as it is over for Wilder getting a fight like that,

Wilder landed 26 of his power punches out of 94. Overall including jabs, Wilder landed just 39 out of 204. I think it is more on the mental state of Wilder. I'd been saying before that he might be more unstable than AJ after their strings of defeat. After Wilder scored a big KO on Helenius, I thought he was back to his usual self. He tried to establish himself as the aggressor but Parker also knew how important the role of the aggressor in their fight. The aggressive stance of Parker made it difficult and when the Kiwi started throwing quick punches, Wilder was surprised and could not match the speed so he gave up and fought backward hoping for the counter. Wilder is not highly skilled so fighting backward is a no-no because it is more difficult to throw punches and win rounds that way. After the second half, it was evident that Wilder and his team were starting to get worried that he might never land a solid counter. He was also scared to let his hands go and try to force Parker into retreat mode except for the last few rounds.

AJ said he wants to become a 3-time world champion. Which means fighting the winner of Usyk-Fury or fighting the IBF interim Filip Hrgovic or the WBO interim Zhilei Zhang. Or he could request the WBC to make his next fight a WBC mandatory or for the interim belt. AJ also showed interest in a Wilder fight which I believe could still fill a stadium in the UK if the Saudis aren't interested in it.

But I guess Eddie Hearn will convince AJ of the less risky but financially better fights. They'll probably offer something big for Ngannou or Wilder or the 40-year-old Zhilei Zhang. I believe that version of Parker is a 50/50 fight for AJ. Eddie did not give a direct answer when asked about a fight with Filip. Poor Filip has no big fan base and he was wasting his prime years because nobody wants to risk with less money.

Here is the Compubox report on the Parker-Wilder fight.

Wilder, according to compubox hits only 9 out of 219 (correct me if i'm wrong) power punches, that's awful. Parker exposed Wilder big time and if ever Wilder fight one more time, his opponent will definitely use that Parker template on how to defeat him.

Parker ruined the Saudi party, that's Wilder's fight to win but it ever the Joshua vs Parker fight pushes through, this is also a good one. Good tune-up fight for AJ before ultimately facing Fury in the "Battle of Britain".

And it's going hard to sell if they push the AJ vs Wilder fight, I mean fans know that Wilder by this time is done already, he might still have that power, but if he can't hit any that he can't win this fight. Post fight, he said that he didn't know what happen, it seems that he can't pull the trigger according to him. And I remember coach Roach during the Pacquiao vs Oscar Dela Hoya that Oscar can't pull the trigger anymore.

So if boxers suddenly have that kind of experience and mentality, they could really be out of their prime years already and it could be a sign that they will have to retire for good. Not sure though if AJ vs Parker will push through in Saudi next year. So Joshua doesn't have a good dance partner and he should have fought Wilder way before when they are still the hottest HW that time. But they seems to not want to, until Fury come into the picture.

Wilder is so done, when he can't knockout his opponent, he'll lose. That's what happen to his fight against Parker as he wasn't boxing, he was just looking for that one punched KO, but it didn't happen.

I would say that it's a big upset because Wilder is the heavy favorite.

I was a bit dissapointed as I was thinking the Wilder vs AJ fight would happen, but this looks like the end of it, I mean it's not gonna happen and we might see Parker vs AJ?

Now! that I see what Naoya Inoue is capable of doing I would like to see him get Unified in what Division he is capable of as this is the 1st time we are witnessing history he is surely creating history in those fights he has, and for sure even though he is not capable of getting into the 8 division like Manny Pacquiao yet, I think in the future we might see when he reach the point he has the same shape as Manny Pacquiao because right now he can surely not because it will require time to do that, but still he is making history in what he is doing now,

Day of Reckoning matches and what happened This is a big boxing event indeed and many well-known people have watched these fights this is the results of some of the fights

Anthony Joshua VS Otto Wallin


We could clearly see that Anthony Joshua was really composed in winning this fight he was just in the middle and pressuring Otto Wallin, and AJ exchanged punches whenever Wallin threw a punch Anthony Joshua will go and take that opportunity and in the 5th round it was a perfect execution that AJ has taken against Otto Wallin, but he wasn't too aggressive with and wobble in that 5th round, and that cut that Wallin has gives the Doctor the decision that the fight is over, it was an easy fight for Anthony Joshua,

Joseph Parker VS Deontay Wilder


In this fight, I really thought that Deontay Wilder would be winning, but he didn't let out punches because Wilder was so composed that he wasn't punching much, for sure Deontay Wilder was so focused on getting that knockout that he was wasting time while Joseph Parker is just letting out his punches and for sure the striking output was for Joseph Parker as Wilder is not himself,

Dmitry Bivol VS Lyndon Arthur


You can see the speed, pace, and strike output of Dmitry Bivol you can clearly see the difference when it comes to those aspects, Lyndon Arthur is not yet ready, but even though Dmitry Bivol landed so many punches against  Lyndon Arthur it was not enough to finish Lyndon Arthur in an instant as Dmitry Bivol has some issue with his knocking power but he manages to knocking down Arthur once it was a clear Onslaught

Daniel Dubois VS Jarrell Miller


Jarrell Big Baby Miller was so huge I didn't realize how large he was until he was fighting inside the ring and I thought that every punch of Daniel Dubois didn't have any effect at all, but Daniel Dubois is just relentless with his punches and he was never backing down from his strikes and with this fight Baby Miller is just durable and Daniel Dubois just got the problem of knocking him down if not for the referee stoppage that he will win this fight,

It's a good attitude on Inoue's part to show this humble side, but the numbers are showing great favoritism, with odds of 1.05 in his favor, and with odds of 8.60 if Tapales wins, I highly doubt that Tapales will look at these words from Inoue with some optimism, on the contrary, I could even think that Inoue would be feeling sorry for him and would increase his anger, I also highly doubt that the Tapales team does not follow the difference in skills between their fighter and Inoue, unfortunately in boxing in fights where there is a very large difference in odds between the favorite and the unlucky one, it is difficult to see any comeback with an unexpected result in which the unlucky player manages to win the fight

I believe that if there was a way to see in casinos how many people bet on Inoue to win this fight and how many people bet on Tapales to win this fight, we would see that most people must have bet on Inoue even with the very low odds, I'm wondering how many people must have taken the risk of betting on Tapales' victory, with this odds of 8.60 for him to win, it must be becoming a temptation for those people who are dedicated to only placing bets on the unlucky ones. Whatever the case, in my opinion he will come out victorious in this fight, I see the difference between these two fights being huge.

Bivol is one of the top fighters in the world. The one thing he lacks is a killer instinct. He should not be going the distance with somebody like Lyndon Arthur. 

I would rather see him fight Beterbiev instead of Canelo. Beterbiev might not have much time left in the sport. It is best to make that fight now before Beterbiev gets even older or has another setback due to injury or health issues.

^^ Whoever organizes that "Day of Reckoning" event must be so rich, i mean that is like an All-Star event in basketball.

Yeah, Joshua's confidence is back with that TKO win, there are rumors that he will be fighting Filip Hrgovic next, must be a good one also and he is successful on that hurdle, "The Battle of Britain" should be next. I'm confident that Fury will be successful in unifying the belts against a smaller Usyk.

Bivol also have a fantastic performance, looking sharp as ever. Hope he will meet Canelo at 168 without that rehydration clause.

Did you enjoy the stacked event today? Here are the results of The Day of Reckoning from the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

In the main event, Otto Wallin was stopped by Anthony Joshua after five rounds. The self confidence of Joshua is back, and he was there to seek and destroy.

In a shocker, Joseph Parker subjugates Deontay Wilder by winning a twelve round decision. Parker was consistent in keeping Wilder under control. Wilder tried to fight back in the final rounds, but it was Parker with the upper hand.

Dmitry Bivol, Daniel Dubois, Agit Kabayel, Jai Opetaia, Filip Hrgovic, and Frank Sanchez also won their matches. The Day of Reckoning was a special occasion, and we anticipate more occasions like this.

I don't think that Inoue can go as high as welterweight, he did admit that if I'm not mistaken. There's only one boxer, the legendary Manny Pacquaio who was able to climb 8 divisions and become a champion.

Inoue said, maybe 126 lbs or even 130 lbs will be enough for him.

And that's why there were talks of him and Tank Davis, not Crawford. But maybe he could accomplished it at 126 lbs and make him a 3x unified champion and make history but we will see. We all know that the higher the weight class, the harder the competition.
