Naoya Inoue's Destructive Knockout Power

Re-live some of #naoyainoue's best knockouts of his career so far. #boxing #boxinghighlights
Japan’s pound-for-pound hero is set to headline the biggest boxing event his country has ever seen. Undisputed junior featherweight world champion Naoya “The Monster” Inoue will defend all the belts against Mexican puncher Luis “Pantera” Nery on Monday, May 6 at the Tokyo Dome.
Inoue, a four-weight world champion and two-weight undisputed king, will headline at the iconic venue for the first time.
Inoue-Nery and three additional world title showdowns will stream live and exclusively in the U.S. on ESPN+ at 4 a.m. ET/1 a.m. PT. Australia’s WBO bantamweight world champion, Jason “Mayhem” Moloney will defend his belt against rising knockout artist and former kickboxing world champion Yoshiki Takei.
The world title quadruple-header also features WBA bantamweight world champion Takuma Inoue (19-1, 5 KOs), younger brother of Naoya, who defends his title against former world title challenger Sho Ishida (34-3, 17 KOs). And, in a flyweight world title tilt, newly minted WBA world champion Seigo Yuri Akui (19-2-1, 11 KOs) battles Taku Kuwahara (13-1, 8 KOs) in a rematch of their 2021 Japanese title bout, which Akui won by 10th-round TKO.

This man Inoue is everything that a boxing fan should want. He stays active, doesn’t talk a lot of shit and lets his actions does the talking, fights the best guys on a consistent basis and has a fan friendly style. I don’t understand why people hate on this man

[@mistermallory94]

He's my favorite fighter

[@ShutUpAndPlayIt]

all the hate comes from a certain race simply, they hate him cuz hes not black

[@BillyTheButcherShannon]

Who hates on him? I’ve never read a single bit of negative press about him and he appears to be pretty much in everyone’s top 3 pound-for-pound, which is quite an accolade for a guy from the lighter weights. Who exactly hates on him? I think he’s hugely respected.

[@vishnu2407]

Unreal speed, and technique, work ethic and power to match. He's not flawless but his chin, reflexes and IQ make it hard for most opponents to take advantage of it. He's among the most complete boxers in the game today And he's vicious, like Crawford

[@droptopp3479]

inoue better than crawford, toe to toe if they were same weight class inoue would win

[@firechan5597]

If you look at the way the monster finishes his opponents, it’s completely different. He hunts them down with precision and accuracy added with the speed which creates more power on top of the power he already possesses. There maybe a few that can do what inoue does but he is a generational talent. A lot of people don’t know this but inoue started boxing when he was a toddler. His father was a formal boxer which explains why he is so damn great.

[@No_Dice200]

INUOE P4P #1 No question.

[@ammatapierron7740]

Inoue is the most well balanced and most well positioned boxer I’ve ever seen. Hardly ever out of position. That’s why people are in awe of where his power comes from because of his size. Inoue himself says it’s from his positioning and placement of his shots.

[@jamesb9300]

[@Tenchigumi]

What I've learned from Inoue is that the Filipino tolerance to liver shots is nuts. Like, when people get dropped by a clean liver shot, they don't get back up (my mind always flashes back to De La Hoya vs Hopkins). But Dasmarinas managed to get up twice (only to get put back down by a final liver shot, but still), and frickin' Donaire managed to get up AND finish the fight. In any case, Inoue's ability to take a person's soul with body shots is a thing of terrifying beauty.

He’s gonna wear his customized winning gloves that he fought with against Fulton. You can see him wearing them in his recent training videos and media workout.

Like Ryan Garcia, I think many boxers are breaking the rules these days by being overweight. Neri has also been banned from Japan in the past for doping and being overweight. My biggest concern is whether the Inoue-Neri fight will be conducted properly.

[@madmartigan1092]

Garcia missing weight is NOT the same as a dude taking PEDs. After Garcia missed weight by 3 pounds the two sides negotiated and came to terms for compensation. That's not on Garcia, I'm not even a big fan of his, stop dismissing Haney's agency as though he was forced into the fight. It's a shit excuse for a mid fighter who's been exposed.

They have Inoue at #2 behind Bud in the P4P rankings. I'm a huge Bud fan, but damn!... Inoue will have fought 2 more times since he beat Fulton in July of 2023, the same week Bud beat Spence! Bud won't be back until August. That's over a year layoff, and his next opponent is a B-class fighter at best. They're trying their best, but no matter how much they try to hype Madrimov, he ain't in the same league as Boots, Virgil Ortiz, Tim Tszyu, or even a Charlo! Inoue deserves to be P4P king!
