Deontay Wilder vs Joseph Parker.
This is fight that interests me and of course this fight will bring together the knockout artist Wilder and Joseph Parker, both of these fighters are former world champions and in their weight classes both had quite high hype in the past few years.
And Wilder has been absent from fighting since losing the WBC title because he was defeated by Tyson Fury.
But before he was absent, Wilder had fought and won, after that he trained harder and really wanted to return to the ring to be able to fight for the championship title.
In this fight, Wilder also stated that he was confident that he could finish the fight before 12th round because he would knock Parker out, this confidence really made everyone interested in him and he was still seen as fighter with winning mentality.

There is one thing that Wilder really wants, namely to be in the ring against Francis Ngannou and there have been many rumors about this fight since last month.
Maybe Wilder also wants to fight Fury again to be able to take back the WBC title he lost from his hands.

If we are talking about belts at super bantamweight, the weight class that they are fighting, but have 2 belts. But if we talk about the totally, obviously, Inoue has more has he unified the belt as bantamweight .


Yes, as gamblers, 1.07 has no value at all, in terms of ML, we should be looking at other betting line, maybe per round will be good but the risk is high. But this is what we are after all, all that juicy odds that we can get that is so appealing and we think that it's a good chance to happen then we will go for it. But not the ML, who knows, if there is an upset here and someone bet big on that, for sure they will have regrets later.

it is maybe because inoue's name rings a bell more than tapales. he's more popular as well. also, inoue has a lot more belts than tapales. actually, if you are rooting for tapales, as being a heavy underdog. this is good, right? for the bettors who want to place a bet on him.

because it is not worth putting your money on inoue with 1.07 odds. otherwise, look for other betting lines like which round it will end, the method, over/under and others.

upset can happen if the underdog really prepared for the fight and consider all angles that he can think he has advantage of. but we can understand if bookies will give the cards to inoue here.

Surely there will be many who are in favor of Naoya Inoue in this match and I am one of them but how I really wish I had seen a much more over-the-top Marlon Tapales in this situation because I am also a doubter about his caliber and what he can do against Naoya Inoue, as I am really doubting him aswell, for this fight, I like to go with a safer bet then Naoya Inoue will be safer and a riskier but high rewards is Marlon Tapales, because I can not say that Naoya Inoue could win this easily, because Marlon Tapales could surprise us,


How I wish Marlon Tapales was reading this as this could surely give him motivation for the fight that even if Naoya Inoue has a more favorable chance of winning, Marlon Tapales still got that percentage of winning so it is not going to be a one-sided fight hopefully, and Tapales  could unlock his full potential for this game because many are doubting him that he can not show a great fight against Naoya Inoue, I just wish I am wrong in picking Naoya Inoue,

---

As we are discussing the Naoya Inoue VS Marlon Tapales fight we are having an event where well-known boxers will share a single fight and this is The Day Of Reckoning where even though I think most of the fights are picked fights, we can still see Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder, and Dmitry Bivol in one juicy event,

Actually, I am excited and at the same time doubting if Marlon Tapales could win this one, for sure it is a Christmas Treat for us if Tapales could win this one because this is not just a win this is a big win as Naoya Inoue is undefeated and is now attaining many victories and has an unusual record in the sports of Boxing, surely this is a hard fight for Marlon Tapales but he surely got a chance in beating Naoya Inoue the Monster, with his many experience inside the ring and I think this is also a big opportunity giving a great win for the country,


I do agree that Marlon Tapales is slower and much bulkier than Naoya Inoue and has a punching power indeed, but Naoya Inoue has the speed and a much higher punching power, but I could be wrong as Marlon Tapales is training non-stop for this fight and by his look he is very confident that he will show a great fight for the crowd and for the fans of Naoya Inoue, and for this one, Marlon Tapales should get used to the climate and the cold weather of the country of Japan because, in this Holiday season, it is pretty much getting colder in Japan than with the Philippines that doesn't have any winter season,

Yeah, this is champion vs champion, Tapales has also 2 belts under his waist, so why bookies is putting him a huge underdog against Inoue? Perhaps the answer lies on how Inoue is destroying his opponents in his last couple of fights. Fulton was supposedly a tougher fight for him, but he just simply outclassed the champion and knock him down and get his belt.

Now, it's the Filipino chance, but many are doubting that he can pull that upset including sport bookies. He is training very hard for this fight and hopefully it will be close and not as dominant win by the Monster or not steamrolled his way to victory against Tapales.

We may have our own prediction in this game but we cannot deny the fact that Inoue is really favored to win.

As per my book, he is currently at 1.07 which obviously tells this could be an easy fight for him. Honestly, I haven't see an odds as low as that in a unification fight. I mean, both are champs and are holding 2 belts, 1.07 is quite a disrespect to what Tapales has already achieve, so hopefully he knows this and will be inspired by this.

Tapales versus Inuoe fight for me will be in favor of the Japanese guy because of his phylosophical way of boxing and also his knocking power. Inoue is fast and accurate while Tapales is a power puncher and is slower compared to the Japanese. Though Tapales is for me has higher edge of fighting Inuoe than Casimero which is slower and his moves were predictable for Inuoe. But yeah they've preparing this for months to win the fight so I think let us just wait and see who will be victorious.

Of course I would never say no, Tapales has the same opportunity as Inoue himself, but we have to be very emphatic, if we start to analyze the attitude of each of the boxers, by nature we have seen that Inoue has never been a boxer who hangs his wings. You like life someday to rest, he is a very active boxer, in fact I think that this type of boxer does not even rest on Christmas holidays, but first he gets up very early to train for the day, if he does not do it at some point during the day. day he recovers it, but the difference in discipline that exists in each of them is incredible, they are boxers who are good, but these differences are what, detail by detail, build the great difference in levels that exists between one boxer and another, I say There is a difference in levels, because it is obvious, Inoue is much better trained than Tapales himself, Tapales may be because this time he has not rested a single day, but Inoue's training is much stronger, he is consistent with that.

When we think about the possibilities that both have, I think that yes, mathematically both have it equally, but we have already seen what Inoue's performance has been like, and I have also always thought that a boxer wins his fight in training , and that is the core of the training. of Inoue are much more intense than the other Tapales himself, for that reason I have always said that when it comes to being with players of this style they are very strong, and any challenger, which in this case is Tpales, will also be very complicated with someone like Inoue, basically Inoue is a boxer who, as I have said on many occasions, for me is on another level, and that is something that many here feel are boxing fans who experience the best fights like that, it is a shame that it is with this one and not with another more famous one, because I know that many want to fight against Inoue, but we have to be a priority with things.

Tapales leaves for Tokyo unification bout vs Inoue, says fight won’t go 12 rounds

Yes, right after Christmas we will be treated by this great fight. And I think everyone is excited, specially fans of Marlon Tapales, although some of us could be writing him off and not going to win, there could be surprises in boxing and this could be one of them.

And this could be the biggest surprises as this fight is going to be two fold.

If Inoue win, I will say that he is the fighter of the year, winning 4 belts in a year and unifying it, so he will be the next boxer after Crawford to do that. Unifying belts in 2 weight classes.

If Tapales win, this could be very well the upset of the year.

And now that we are in the midst of the event of a boxing match and a unification of the belts actually I am having doubts about Marlon Tapales and whether he can go toe toe-to-toe against the monster Naoya Inoue, now here is a full breakdown of the event

Inoue is indeed fighter who has managed to collect 4 titles this year and he is nicknamed monster because he can always dominate every fight, and often surprises him with knockout wins.
But this fight against Tapales will be different because Inoue was interviewed and he said that he was in top condition and continued to train well because Tapales was not an opponent he could underestimate.
Inoue even said that Tapales would definitely give surprise in their fight so that Inoue would be much more careful because he didn't want to lose the record he had achieved so far as an undefeated boxer.
This fight is also very important because the winner becomes the undisputed champion in the super batam class.

But Tapales is also quite confident in his abilities and he is determined to make new history for Philippine boxing.
As time goes by and the match gets closer, we are all curious about the outcome of the fight and really looking forward to who will be the best boxer.
Tapales could provide an unexpected surprise as Inoue said, but we also don't know what it will be like.
It just that I hope to see this fight end with knockout from one of them.

@yazher I think every time a fighter says that he's not taking his opponent seriously it's just because he wants to play some mind games. Otherwise, I actually do not think any fighter does that in reality. And we all know that fighters will say a lot of things to actually do their mind games with the opponent. But 80% of the time they don't mean what they are saying. So I think he is just capping. And yes I also agree that every fighter has their flaws. The question is if the other fighter will be able to exploit that weakness!

based from the tale of the tape below, you can understand why tapales is the heavy underdog on this match. and i don't think inoue is taking this lightly. a disciplined fighter would always make himself ready in every fight no matter what his chances are.


the KO percentage alone will give you insights on where this fight is heading to. and also, there's no worry about inoue being favoured because they will be fighting in his home turf. japanese people are one of the honest people on earth. just think of their seppuku tradition.

though tapales has more fights however, inoue has a lot more of the title fights. anyway, this is the chance of the filipino boxer if he has the chance to topple inoue as inoue is one of the popular names in the boxing today.

I still haven't watched the full fight between Tapales and Akhmadaliev but I did hear a lot from proven fans that it was very close. So I guess it's fine if Akhmadaliev just retains his coach. So far during interviews it looks like he still feels that he won that fight and wanted nothing but revenge so he should be mentally alright. And yesterday he dispatched his undefeated opponent. So he is now officially the WBA mandatory to the Inoue-Tapales winner. Although he might need to wait since the IBF also has its mandatory, the undefeated Sam Goodman.


Andrade doesn't have a fanbase although his resume is still way better but since giving up his belt and going inactive and then moving up in weight, it's pretty clear that Benavidez will just stop that version. Whereas David Morrell is definitely a 50/50 or at least around 40/60 fight for Benavidez. Very risky though and Cuban fighters don't have a huge fan base as well.

Tank Davis for years already has no plans to fight any champions at 135. He has a huge casual fan base so he can keep on cherry-picking his opponents and then PBC will market them as dangerous opponents. He can talk and have a war of words against the champions to hype himself. And then he may take Valenzuela in his next fight.

Japanese are known for their discipline and dedication and you combine that with being a boxer, never in a thousand years Inoue will consider Tapales an easy fight and he trained so hard for this one and will be sure to make every effort to secure the KO. That's why Tapales is the super underdog in this fight and he also has the chance to use it as fuel for his training and focus himself on their strategy on how to beat Inoue. I'm sure every fighter has their own flaws and he could find that out by watching carefully and contemplating Inoue's past fights.

Lets see on how Tapales would really be trying his best on making some upset. For sure Inoue wont really be that careless too considering that he's really that facing a champion and he knows that.
Whenever fighters get inside on the ring, then getting careless would really be putting you at great risks specially if you are the favorite one. Having that confidence would really be definitely be
be a poison that would really be putting you up on such great trouble. Now that we are fast approaching for the fight day on which for sure they are already on their last phase with their training
and conditioning.

If ever that Tapales would be able to beat up Inoue then it would really be the main talk of the year when it comes to Boxing or something we can called a huge headline.
We do know that there's always a probability and there's no easy way for you to be able to make some assurances on whose gonna win but i cant blame out
on why most fans would really be sticking with Inoue.

Dominant. That's the right word that I will use on his performance.
And like what I said in my recent posts here, if he shows dominance he will be the next in line. I bet he will have a chance against Inoue after that win against Kevin Gonzalez.
Either Inoue climbs after a win and leaves the super bantamweight belts or he will stay and fight.
The other option is Tapales wins and they will have a rematch for Tapales Akhmadaliev 2 when the camp of Tapales wants a contract for another rematch if they lose, we will see a trilogy. This will help take the doubts off him or seal the deal that Tapales is really better than him.
I am getting excited about this division because somehow a former opponent of Tapales is in line and I bet Akhmadaliev is also gritting his teeth to take the belt back and be worn in his waist one more time.

Oh yeah, this is the other problem because there are also the top 1 in other division that wants to get a shot against Inoue if he ever unifies all the belts. In this case, the champion will pick, am I correct? I am not really knowledgeable about the rules when a boxer unifies all the belts.

It seems though that many fighters have been motivated to be like Manny, just like Michael Jordan in the NBA. Manny put boxing into another perspective with his style and always go for the KO or wanted to please his fans with his every fight.


I think there's no question on Tapales, confidence, he is very much motivated to win against Inoue no matter what the fans say or if the odds is pretty much stack against him. He will fight and try his best in the ring with Inoue. If he falls short, then nothing to be ashamed of as he really bring his A-game but it was not enough to beat the Monster.

After Pacquiao, it's Inoue who got that similar strategy, throwing punches that his opponent really being surprise as it was solid and in a quick manner, without that anticipation you'll just fall down and suffer into a KO, though both are champs and both have that recordings to study against each other strategy, but still the momentum and most fans if not all expect that Inoue will continue his dominance.

I also hope that Tapale's confidence will continue, and that tone will convert to a fighting strategy that will keep him standing and give the fans who bet on him the winning chance that they believe he possess.
