its amazing to watch the foot work, fencing like moves in-out. beautiful.

[@johnnyc0811]

Great assessment brother.

[@taishtsunematsu7892]

I feel absolutely the same way.

[@nicktrianuk]

I used to fencing and I thought the same thing!

[@akonemanaba4183]

My goodness, inoue absolutely picked him apart, what a perfect performance, a great boxer to learn from, amazing

[@JustAllinOneResource]

Kudos to Moloney. He is a fighter, and he has a lot of heart. Full respect.

[@sirmuffincat6630]

Fun fact: Jason Maloney has fought 5 times since this bout and has won every single one. He even won his most recent match with a broken right hand. Maloney's a true warrior.

[@marinourbano5530]

[@yogayoggie2209]

Inoue - speed, accuracy, power. Basically magnificant!

[@jeffb5785]

This is a special kind of fighter, I don't think he should be compared to any other fighter he is unique and I love watching his skill in the ring.

[@oivie1332]

Naoya's punches were very peculiar. He punched without giving out any signal of what is coming. Look at the knock out punch at the end. He is an awesome boxer. Maloney has given all he can. Good fight!

[@user-wp3dh5fx5s]

❤

[@vishnu2407]

It all starts with his incredible footwork, that's why

[@lyrajamilla1610]

he is very twitchy and gives almost no telegraph when he throws. this is top level technique

[@iluvimports]

Nn the final minute of Round 7 Inoue is constantly throwing jabs to bait reactions from Maloney with his jab. Jab, Jab, Jab, looking at how Maloney reacts and looks for an opening. Everytime he jabs or throws a right he notices that Maloney counters with his own Jab. The exchange before the KO he has a high guard, level changes, throws a jab -> jab -> jab. On the KO he does the same high guard, does the same level change, waits an extra beat, and then throws the right straight. In round 7 he rested for a minute in a half, conditioned Maloney for 40 seconds by upping his activity and working him to a frenzy, and hit him up with a bait and switch. Inoue is a freaking genius.

[@wanazami7667]

His IQ, a genius. Rare that.

[@3232buddah]

we need more Inoue in the states

[@artLopez24]

He gets paid more to fight in Japan

[@eliasv3323]

@@artLopez24 i think that he means that the US needs more fighter like Inoue

[@jeffb5785]

I am all in for Inoue but Maloney impressed me that he went as deep as he did, not many do.

[@xKayNee]

Inoue has one of the best jabs. Often overlooked because of his power

[@KiaraHargrove]

That was crazy power by Inoue. 💯

[@vyvan9992]

This guy-Inoue is supper fast, speed and sharp punch, Monster really he is

[@tothemax1517]

Honestly probably my favorite Naoya Inoue fight. Moloney put up a good fight considering the opponent. Inoue still dominated but it’s a closer fight than the outcome would suggest. You can tell Inoue really worked on his defense after this fight though. He no longer takes many punches like he’s taking here and he took from the first Donaire fight.

[@imthemvp3215]

A great fight

[@pluckinmageetar]

Donaire was most definitely a better fight and Inoue's biggest challenge so far.

[@wanazami7667]

Yup, he said there he's learning and try to improve always.

[@MyLife-og2kr]

Agree. The ones who say that it was a walk in the park didn't watch the fight. Maloney actually put in work here. Inoue was just that good.

[@AntonioWagan]

​@@pluckinmageetar❤ 😊

[@johnny_truth]

I’ve seen it several times but watched again.

[@shahbaz9231]

naoya is real monster.

[@mk-rx3he]

Look at Casimero's expression when he saw the fight with Donaire. He's already mentally knocked out.

[@user-uh7bw4jo4c]

Damn Maloney is a true beast warrior look at his kockout ratios!!! That's scary. I can't believe Americans say Inoue never fought a true boxer. moloney is a true beast boxer scary as hell but lost to Inoue

[@yngve6640]

The way he set up the knock out right with those lefts was beautiful. And the power in that straight righthand punsh was amazing. He looked so playfully relaxed before the cobra like explosion 💥

[@edmonbarcelona2724]

Good luck Naoya for your upcoming fight! 🙂

[@knockknock1246]

Inoue by knockout.... Fulton might retire after this one.

[@miguelamaya6246]

CONGRATULATIONS TO NAOYA AWESOME PERFORMANCE...

[@petervang7711]

Great fight with high speeds and powerful punches. Amazing.

[@V1ndollar]

became a fan of him since 1-2 months ago

[@davonvalverde4126]

That punch was ridiculously fast Maloney didn’t even process he got hit

[@rubencadanosr1067]

Naoya, is one of a kind, he's a hard hitter

[@LoveLindqvist]

One thing I don't think they touched on is his elusive head movement, he's slipping off from every punch. The ref deserves some cred too, great job from all three men.

[@PATRICKoxoEthafulm]

Yeah I was gonna say respect to the ref

[@johnle6364]

respect to both fighters. Maloney is a beast as well guys. Inoue is just... a monster...

[@nndsk]

very good camera work. want to watch all his fights with such clarity and unblinded perspective.

[@lilbullet158]

For a few reasons that was an extremely impressive KO.

[@BenYamunma]

For me it was the fact they both threw a right hand at the same time and innoue hit Molony before Molony hand was half way to innoue

[@jesjes5255]

Maloney has 1000 times more guts than Butler.

[@undeadboxingrise]

Facts, he was throwing down unlike Butler just shelling up the entire fight

[@kenwahldhlamini8102]

Inoue finishes Fulton inside 9th round

[@mitch20003]

im going with 10-11

[@hybs9473]

Close one.

[@plzineedtogowayrn6353]

some of the best footwork in boxing

[@kimcousins1125]

Inoue is just too quick and powerful for his opponents.

[@dragon77411]

この試合は好きな試合だ。マロニーは井上をパンチを浴びながらも逃げることなく向かって行き少しでも攻撃しようとしている、が井上のスピードがマロニーより上で全てのパンチが避け切れない。マロニーも最後は打たれても立ち上がろうとしたがもうダメージの方が身体に回ってしまっていた。良い選手だ。

[@markokada7311]

In a nutshell, his capability of blazing viper-like speed w/ laser-sharp accuracy & nearly flawless that fierce & effective punching skills to deliver must be without a doubt his hallmark & key signature. By having triumphed over Fulton in Japan on July 5, 2023, he is now an undefeated 4 division World Champion. Now he 30yo as of July 2023 & so the question is how long he would be able to sustain those undivided unrivaled, unparalleled, & almost incomparable speed, accuracy, & power, cause those'll be diminished their efficacy as time progresses. Anyone agree w/ me?,,,,,,(08/01/23)

[@doratheexploder286]

at 16:43 and until round 6 is started you can see Moloney is scared and hopeless. He knows where this is headed.

[@sakuragirokurouta3080]

Maloney have a big heart, i wish the best for him ❤

[@Vjl5280]

That’s the best short straight right I’ve ever seen

[@cherryblossom2270]

改めて観戦すると、井上選手の強烈な圧を受けながら防戦一方ではなく7Rまで自ら圧をかけに行ったり、勝ちに行ったモロニーは、とても素晴らしいボクサーだと思った。隙も少ない。でも井上選手は少ない隙でも見逃してはくれないんだな。。

[@samlion1980]

凄いですね。

[@aznoutlawz-]

Inoue footwork is quick darting in and out

[@erikb1374]

Yup! Makes up for "lack" of head movement they mentioned 💯

[@tylerosong4312]

He’s a great fighter

[@stevel9627]

Inoue's style is completely different in this fight vs the Fulton one. In the Fulton fight he adopts a philly shell sort of style

[@PartyCrasher04]

He’s a smart ass fighter that changes his game plan depending on who he’s fighting. I can assure you he’s studying tf out of his opponents, watching their fights with his dad and analyzing them to find weaknesses and counters to their style.

Idol Inoue all boxers break them faces

[@edweaver2750]

Really great shot @16:26 of energy transfer. He can land such short powerful shots because of it. Recommend watching it at x.25 the speed. Can see the kinetic force happening from the bottom up until impact. Goes back to them talking about those calf muscles. I think Bruce Lee said something like "he's not scared of a fighter who's good at a hundred moves but he is terrified of the master of one." Inoue is サイタマ.

[@eyeongmuni5722]

Holy shit his last shot moved so quick

[@atilathesonofdanubius4277]

Many great defensive boxers are confused about their talent. They are so good developing their defensive skills that forget that the best defense is a good offense. They end up winning a lot of fights by point scoring and not really by beating an the opponent. To be an excellent fighter you have to be good at both. Naoya and Tank Davis have both with punching power. Add good reflects, being able to take a hard punch and have punching power and you have a champion. You can get far by point scoring and evading getting hit, but that only last so long unless you avoid fighting top level opponents.

[@christronixbeats]
