Maaaan so he makes his opponents go to Japan, breathe the Japanese air, drink the Japanese water and eat from the Japanese restaurants


all that ESPN hype and they can’t even get the guy to fight in America?

Japanese sporting is entirely questionable and funny in the light … they are the kind of place that doesn’t mind propping up a hero for the sake of cultural value - but notice they will never stand far beyond the Japanese model of image and integrity for their icons

the Japanese horses look amazing in Japan, until they run against UK, Ireland, Australian and American horses


someone got a link for me to watch this?

Vicious knockout. Snapped Nery's head off the rope. I keep missing these fights live due to the time difference.

I see them Japanese ring girls looking to get chosen at the post fight interview

 

[Jmare007]

Finally saw it. Monster still

From the entrance on he's always a spectacle

I will continue to say this. The post fight takes are hilarious.

You guys sound stupid

He's fought in America before. multiple times. Do you think Coolboy would have rather had the fight in Philly and made 250k, or the millions he made to go to Japan? No one makes excuses for foreigners coming here if they lose that they "breathing American air". All him going to America would do is probs make him play to the crowd less. No one appreciates these smaller weight classes like Japan and the only time most of the boxing world even speaks on them is to shyt on Monster. its corny.

When do we expect Monster’s next fight to be? Might have to do 2 weeks in Tokyo to see a legend

Question : what is Inoue's weight ceiling ? 126 seems easily doable next but can he realistically go to 130 ?

Only way he is losing is to fight outside of his weight class too much. 130 is too big unless he bulks up A LOT and also switches to a more defensive outboxing style. All that flashy shyt would get him laid out against much bigger punchers.

Peronsally he should stay at 122 and continue to do what he doing, maybe grab a belt at 126 to say he did but 130 probs too much.

I love Donaire as much as anymore - but you never see people give Inoue the credit for what he did while hurt in the Donaire fight the way people hype up Floyd for doing it

When he had two hands that fight lasted minutes.

Why do yall have to bring Floyd into everything . Did Inoue have a torn rotator cuff going into the fight
