a great fight against this Japanese monster but this is not enough for inoue's getting laid.
Per report, Top Rank is not keen on heeding the advise of WBA for that mandatory fight against Akhmadaliev because they think that the latter is not popular enough so better to relinquish the WBA belt rather than fighting Akhmadaliev.
That's fine, besidess, he has nothing to prove since he had already became an undisputed champion in the super bantamweight division, and I believe he will not stay long in this division as I'm sure there's a plan to move in a higher division, probably next year, or maybe the upcoming fight of Inoue would be his last if he can successfully defend his title.
Sooner or later he will have to go up in weight, it's inevitable, and even he said that he will just stay here in this division and then go South next. And it seems that he has his hit list, including Akhmadaliev. Casimero will be the only one remaining, or the mandatory in Sam Goodman. But those two doesn't bring anything for Inoue so maybe after this fight he will go up to Featherweight and face the champion.
But the dream fight, will be Inoue vs Tank Davis in the US. For now though, it doesn't look feasible as Inoue is still way below in the weight class. However, everything is possible, I mean Manny vs Oscar Dela Hoya did happen, or Manny going up against a much bigger guy in Antonio Margarito.
