Winding down.

I can also see the same road as Inoue might continue to follow Manny Pacquiao's footsteps to become a champion from division to division, although judging from Inoue's build, I can only see him having his max limit inside the featherweight or super featherweight division. I may not be correct of course as we definitely don't know what will happen in the future and what is exactly the plan of Inoue in his own career. But let's see, Inoue may have some surprise to us in the next few years.

That's why I'm excited to see this match, as it's Inoue's first fight in a higher-weight class. Many fans believe that Inoue will still be able to maintain his power and quickness, so hopefully, we will witness that in this upcoming fight scheduled for July. Inoue is highly popular, so Fulton aims to surpass his popularity and make a name for himself.

Inoue needs to be swift in moving up and engaging in championship fights if he wants to break the record set by MP, which remains unbroken as of now. If he succeeds, he will make his own mark in history.

Still a long way to go for Inoue, but with his dedication and with how his handlers see his talent, there's a big chance that he will proceed in trying to keep moving forward.

If Inoue will beat Fulton, it will be possible again for him to complete and unify the belt, then move another weight
to challenge the champ. It's a chance that he may take to keep pursuing and to possibly reach or maybe break
the record of Pacquiao.

Yes, it's possible, Marlon Tapales is just waiting on the wings of the winner here as it was approved that he can fight either Fulton or Inoue.

I don't think that Inoue can break the record of Manny Pacquiao though, Pacquiao is not on the hunt for unification during his reign. What Bob Arum and Coach Roach did was to make money go up in weight and challenge the champion and get their belt. He might have defended it once or twice and then vacant the belt to go as high as 154 lbs. I don't see Inoue climbing up to that ladder. He already said that he can go as high as 126-130 lbs only.

I see, and with how each champ from different defends their belts.

It will be difficult for Inoue to climb as the belt holders from those possible divisions to move up are all competitive
unlike when the time of Pacquiao he surprises all the defending champ and snatches the title away from each title
holders.

Inoue surely knows what to do and most probably, he knows that he shouldn't do any hasty decisions so that he will not commit any mistakes down the road. And while he is still a newbie at 122, he should adopt to the current weight first to feel himself if he's comfortable or not and if his body can still manage any additional weight from climbing the next weight class. A lot of factors that the team should first consider because it's not that simple.

That is for sure, Inoue have come pretty far already and they are already cautious about their next move. In fact, if I can remember it correctly, Bob Arum and Inoue was looking forward to have a normal fight, pretty much like a tune-up fight just to settle Inoue's body in the weight class first before having Fulton up next.

But Fulton was already eager to move up plus there's the WBO who gave Inoue the super-champion title which made the situation more easy to have a fight with the champion directly.

If Inoue won the fight against Fulton, he might be right on the bat, fighting Tapales for the undisputed title, unifying the 4 belts.  If he beat Tapales, Inoue could set another world record of being the undisputed champion of two divisions.
Then, he will go up to another weight class. I think that's the plan until Naoya Inoue reaches his limit of where he could go gain more weight. If this happens, Casimero won't be able to reach him anymore.
But, there's a chance for the Filipinos to unite the belts in Tapales as long as he will defeat when Inoue comes for him. Then, Casimero will also have his chance to fight the long-awaited opponents because he will probably rank down.


It will probably be the next plant if ever Inoue unified the 4 titles but I guess he will have a few title defenses since he needs to familiarize his body to the weight before moving up again.  Moving up too fast isn't good for the boxer since he will end up gaining weight too fast that his body won't be able to famliarize with the weight and may slow him down during the process.  
No doubt that it will happen as long as Inoue will be successful in his upcoming fight with Fulton as that will mean that he is the new WBO and WBC champion. And knowing Bob Arum, he will surely want that undisputed fight as aside from viewing it as an advantage, it will be huge fight as well that he will likely organize to make it happen. Plus, it seems that Tapales and his camp also want that, so it will be a matter of months before we can know more about it.

Not everyone is happy about the mandated fight on who will win the Inoue versus Fulton fight. It gives a lot of rest for Tapales and then no one can challenge him yet until he fights one of the said 2 of the boxers.
Murodjon Akhmadaliev who will fight Tomoki Kameda for the final eliminator, both boxers are not happy about it because it will take a long time before they can challenge the champion again.

Well, the consolation for waiting a bit long is that, when they get to challenge the champion, it would be for an undisputed title defense, having 4 belts on the line.  Isn't that much better than having to challenge a champion with just 2 belts in hands?  I don't think they will not be happy for that turn of event since it will be a winner take all contest.
They should understand and know that boxing industry is also a business industry which means that it is almost unavoidable that the sanctioning bodies and promoters will literally take advantage of the situation especially if they know that it will be a huge fight as that will mean a money in their pockets as well. Might be unfair to some, yes, but again, it is also a business.

About Casimero, if he failed to have a top-ranked opponent in his next match, he will be left behind since he still needs to prove himself and fight his way up in order to challenge the champion.

I'm not sure what you meant by not everyone is happy for the Fulton vs Inoue fight. It's a great fight and maybe one of the most anticipated fight in the super bantamweight as Inoue is going up in weight and wanted to become a champion again. While Fulton wanted to stay his ground and proved that he is the king of this division.

He meant that the winner of the Fulton vs Inoue fight will be mandated to fight Tapales. There's no question that Fulton vs Inoue is a big fight, but this division is not a money-sucker yet. So, I'm sure if Inoue dominates this division, he will likely move up again.

We are certain he will because he won't be able to match the success of Pacman if he stays in just one division. However, I believe it's still too early to discuss that. We all know that Inoue is the challenger, so let's first see if he can truly defeat the champion Fulton before hyping Inoue's future success. After Fulton, Inoue is likely to face Tapales, who is a champion, leading to a unification fight, and it's probable that Inoue will also aim for an undisputed fight.

All these possibilities will only come to fruition if Inoue emerges victorious.

Let's just have one step at a time because sooner or later, we will going talk to talk about it before this year ends and besides, discussing about the possible and upcoming unification with Marlon Tapales is like we're already underestimating Steph Fulton's capability to defend his belt and we should not forget as well that this is his division and he is the 2-belt champion which is what Naoya Inoue is after. I know that Fulton have said that he will vacate the division regardless of the outcome, but that is still not a guaranteed that he will really do it as he is not going to make that kind of choice by himself, alone.

So the issue might be on Casimero, and it seems that Naoya really has to move on and not wait for Casimero to become a rank boxer or at least the mandatory challenger. The obvious goal for them is to win against Fulton and then unify the belt against a Filipino in Marlon Tapales.

Not everyone is happy about the mandated fight on who will win the Inoue versus Fulton fight. It gives a lot of rest for Tapales and then no one can challenge him yet until he fights one of the said 2 of the boxers.
Murodjon Akhmadaliev who will fight Tomoki Kameda for the final eliminator, both boxers are not happy about it because it will take a long time before they can challenge the champion again.

Against Inoue or Fulton, Tapales will be the huge underdog because of talent level and him not so popular in the US but the upcoming fight for the unification of the four belts is a huge win in itself for Tapales because of the huge money involve as this seldom happens to a boxer's career, Tapales just won the lottery where he could retire after this fight.

For Inoue's side, it would be history as he will be the first Japanese fighter to be a unified champion in two divisions, so added motivation as well for Inoue aside from the fact that they dictate all the conditions for the Fulton fight  Grin.

But for the meantime, we should be enjoying the greatness of Naoya Inoue. This might be his biggest test as he is climbing up in weight. If he shows his power and as he is still about to hit his prime then there is a good chance that he could unify this weight class and this will be his second time to do that. And it's hard to accomplished that in the 4 belt weight era.

I'm anxious to see Inoue in the upper weight division to see if he still carries his power and if he still has the speed he displayed in the past, he has the making of another Pacquiao, Pacquiao started in the lowest division before climbing up and he retains the power and the speed going up until he reaches the super welterweight.
Let's see if Inoue can dominate Fulton as he did in his opponents in the lighter-weight division, Fulton is good but I don't think he is good enough when it comes to speed and skills it will go down on power.

I am also interested to see if Inoue's power punches is still devastating in his current weight class.  If he is able to stop Fulton then most probably he will be able to unify the 4 belts since WBA Championship Committee has approved that Tapales will be facing the winner of the Fulton-Inoue fight.[1] 

I may be biased here but if Inoue is able to beat Fulton, I do not think Tapales will be able to win against the monster Inoue.

Yes, its true that it wouldnt be that easy but lets see on how they would be taking up that road if ever he would be having  the plans on beating up that record. Its quite clever for Inoue on targeting
directly Fulton on this higher weight division on which if he do sees that he could be able to beat up Fulton then unifying all belts wouldnt really be that hard but somewhat he should consider on fighting
1 belt holder after Fulton fight but i dont believe that it would really be better than Fulton but lets see on what would happen.

If Inoue won the fight against Fulton, he might be right on the bat, fighting Tapales for the undisputed title, unifying the 4 belts.  If he beat Tapales, Inoue could set another world record of being the undisputed champion of two divisions.

Long way to go but its not something impossible basing up on what Inoue is been doing.He's still young and there's still much time for him to attain such record if he is really that serious and would persevere.

We are already less 2 months away for this fight on which its really that bit excited to see and look for this fight outcome or result specially this would be a debut for Inoue for this higher weight div but
its not really that a huge add up in weight.

I'm a bit confident that he can, though it's not gonna be an easy adjustments in retaining your speed and power while increasing your weight. But what makes me a bit confident about it is that Inoue has the talent, a one of a kind like the top elite fighters and also the additional weight is just a few pounds that merely can affect his performance.
I'd really love to see Inoue in a higher weight division as there are no more challenging fighters for him in his current division.
I even remember Tank Davis mentioned Inoue as the one of the many boxers he'd love to have a fight with. It's crazy coz Tank is too big for Inoue, but who knows some speculators think they can make it at a catch-weight lol.

We never know, right? He might take that big step if he continues to win and unify all the belts again in this division.

A good record in the making if he can push his way and compete with other elite fighters from different weight division,
boxing fans would love to see another Pacquiao type of fighter. Someone who's not afraid to keep climbing up and
try his best to showcase his talents.

I can also see the same road as Inoue might continue to follow Manny Pacquiao's footsteps to become a champion from division to division, although judging from Inoue's build, I can only see him having his max limit inside the featherweight or super featherweight division.

I'm anxious to see Inoue in the upper weight division to see if he still carries his power and if he still has the speed he displayed in the past, he has the making of another Pacquiao, Pacquiao started in the lowest division before climbing up and he retains the power and the speed going up until he reaches the super welterweight.
Let's see if Inoue can dominate Fulton as he did in his opponents in the lighter-weight division, Fulton is good but I don't think he is good enough when it comes to speed and skills it will go down on power.

I'm a bit confident that he can, though it's not gonna be an easy adjustments in retaining your speed and power while increasing your weight. But what makes me a bit confident about it is that Inoue has the talent, a one of a kind like the top elite fighters and also the additional weight is just a few pounds that merely can affect his performance.
I'd really love to see Inoue in a higher weight division as there are no more challenging fighters for him in his current division.
I even remember Tank Davis mentioned Inoue as the one of the many boxers he'd love to have a fight with. It's crazy coz Tank is too big for Inoue, but who knows some speculators think they can make it at a catch-weight lol.

We never know, right? He might take that big step if he continues to win and unify all the belts again in this division.

A good record in the making if he can push his way and compete with other elite fighters from different weight division,
boxing fans would love to see another Pacquiao type of fighter. Someone who's not afraid to keep climbing up and
try his best to showcase his talents.
