12/26 ESPN+: Naoya Monster Inoue vs Marlon Tapales (Undisputed Super Bantamweight Championship)

[prince_peoples]

I don't usally watch or pay attention to fights under 130lb.

Inoue looked pretty big, so im assuming he gonna move up to 126 after this.

I know he is fighting over there in Japan, so whats the drug testing like for him?

Probably similar to the same drug testing most boxers go through

So he’s staying at this weight.

Might as well dead all those other ridiculous match ups now

Tell Fulton, run it back

Fulton is moving up to 130

Have to find something to diminish him. If they faves had Monster resume youd never hear the end of it

undisputed in two classes. When he moving up tho. He on roids???

 

[patscorpio]

When he eventually goes to 126 in prolly 2025..whoever Top Rank has as WBO champ there will be the first one he bumps off

 

[Bigblackted4]

Unreal power from a smaller fighter

 

[Bigblackted4]

Nery is probably next which I would love to see him KOed

It’s obvious he’s on PEDs. We can marvel at the skill and still be real at the same time, same thing I do for Bud

 

[patscorpio]

Nery has the power to match Monster..it depends if his punch resistance will still be up to par

I assume most athletes are on something in general. But what makes it obvious. Do tell. Dont say its because of KOs

Which I think not

I use to watch a lot of Japanese MMA back in the day. Pride FC, Dream, Sengoku

All of those Japanese fighters and people that fought in Japan used to be juiced the fukk up.

Then all those same fighters once they moved over to America under USADA testing looked a lot different.

What I noticed about Inoue is that if he sees you as a legit threat, he comes into the ring almost super-humanly sharp while possessing exceptionally quick reflexes. I don’t know what he does in training, but it fukking works. I know some of it is psychology. I could tell he never really saw Tapales as a threat, because despite it being an awesome performance, he wasn’t as sharp as he normally is and he was letting dude hit him with punches he could’ve easily avoided at times. That dude that fought Fulton or Donaire in the 2nd fight gets Tapales outta there in 3/4 rounds.

I don’t see what Nery does to Gojira. He has some power, but I think he’d get stopped rather easily actually. I’m not sure why people want him to move up to 126 so badly. The only fighter there I think that would represent a highly intriguing fight would be Figueroa.

It’s the Monster’s world right now.

Never getting tired/never taking rounds off despite throwing nothing but power shots all fight.

He’s a naturally powerful puncher I can’t take that away from him, but his punches never, ever losing steam and him never being tired (no matter his work rate), makes it pretty obvious. Doesn’t matter how hard you train, no fighter functions at 100% every fight, all fight.
