[@cacogenicist]

You could see when Inoue decided that Maloney's power was of no concern to him. Some people mistake Inoue just not giving a damn about his opponents power with Inoue lacking defensive skills -- but Inoue simply decides he doesn't care, and he'll take one to give one, if it'll get his opponent out of there sooner. Fulton wasn't touching Inoue early in that fight, but starting in the 5th Inoue decided he wanted to get Fulton to open up, even if that mrant eating a couple from Fulton -- because Inoue felt his feather-fists and was unimpressed. I guarantee you when Inoue runs into a guy whose power he respects, he'll be _much_ more defensisively responsible throughout the fight.

ポールバトラー戦のインタビューでディフェンスに弱点があると指摘された時に、ディフェンスを徹底すれば一発もパンチをもらわないと言っていました。 プロだからこそkoをみせたいと常々言っているので、それがファンを熱狂させる一因なんだと思います

[@akikozu7444]

You're absolutely correct as confirmed in post-fight interviews with Inoue.

[@lacca_music214]

Yeah Inoue’s defense is actually top tier. He’s quick as fuck and his head movement in wild, he’s an elite athlete. He’s also got a great chin, keep in mind Maloney is actually a good puncher with a 73% KO/win percentage! Yet inoue made him look pillow fisted. So he’s willing to brawl a bit in order to set up a big shot, and he gets hit in the process. It’ll be interesting as he moves up in weight, I can see his first loss being by brutal KO when he just gets too cocky and gets clipped, especially up at 130 where the size difference will really start to become a factor.

[@droptopp3479]

Yupp, ive said it over and over again. Inoues only flaw is he might not be able to take a big power puncher but his defense has gotten better so thats what is great about inoue. Forsure he will have to evade step back or block more often and not stay in close range when fighting someone with similar power. Donaire was the closest weve seen that had good power to beat inoue. All in all, inoue is smart fighter. He should know when to take a hit to get a hit back. When the fighter comes, he'll know when to play defense and offense

[@crnasrebro6672]

what people dont understand about Naoya is he is a compact puncher. those short punches pack a punch and if the opponent accumulate enough of those, its over. Although he is not without flawes but he improved a lot since his fight against Nonito. He know that he can get hurt and improved his lateral movement and hand parry that its hard to hit him clean.

[@syamsulhidayat3590]

Yea, after donaire make him improve a lot Donaire is the one who give him the lesson then now he improve everything

[@InauguralArmageddon]

Just one thing to consider… When people criticise Inoue, it’s usually over his tough 12 round fight with Donaire. However, Inoue fought 10 of those rounds with a fractured eye socket and double vision, still taking the decision over 12 rounds against the future hall of famer, where most boxers would have simply retired.

[@coreyydeez3621]

P4P #1

[@motsy15]

His back and shoulders are so wide. He generates more power with shorter punches than any fighter I can remember. He can knock out anyone he can hit. When they get so big he can’t get around their guard he might have problems, but until then he’s gonna keep winning titles. Dude is special. And as he moves up his speed advantage grows.

He has a 90% KO rate and is undefeated. One punch from him can knock down any opponent. The power of the punch is comparable to that of a heavyweight. There is also defense and speed, Look after the game Even after fighting Tapales for 10 rounds, I didn't have a single scratch on my face. Tapares' face, on the other hand, is covered in scars.

[@youshouldprobablyrun]

He can literally dominate Bantamweight division for the next 10 years. There’s no way he’ll fight Gervonta Davis at 135 lbs.

[@bud2829]

Boy aint no way that Tapales will beat this guy. Inoue by fatality round 4

[@BackupPlans1]

Tapales took a knockdown in the 4th, but he was able to survive until the 10th. Although he was dominated through most of the fight, Tapales was able to assert himself as the 2nd best in the division through his chin and his ability to adapt to Inoue's offense. Before the knockout, Tapales was boxing better than any opponent Inoue had since Donaire 1. He went out on his shield and gained a lot of respect for it.

@@BackupPlans1 respect to Tapales, he was tough for sure but his offense was just not hurting Inoue (basically 0 damage in his face). Monster just showed there are levels even in the elite category.

I think Inoue,🇵🇭 will win but good match

[@franknblunt]

They are correct, from 1st bout by third round with those two formidable champs, Inoue had taken away Moloney's preliminary strategy after he got tagged, somehow withstood such power yet unable deal with that, or the speed & accuracy. Inoue doesn't appear like traditional jab & parry, but full force & ferocious even while counter, pressure & gauge, unbalancing the opponent, distances then kaboom! Mayhem became concerned about protecting from those formidable left hand punches whether uppercut, hook, or counter. While still relatively strong & quick, somehow having endured through 6th especially after getting dropped by another left, but by next round was slightly lowered & hung his left jab a fraction longer, as the monster prepped then pounced with a lightning quick right. I had to slow at quarter speed to even see the knockout, but that earlier left shot seemed faster than that. When is the rematch?
