Had Inoue winning 7rd to 5rd in very competitive fight. Inoue did not look like a monster,and would suffer against chocolatito Gonzalez. Gets hit a lot and would be disasterous against Gonzalez.
Very good fight.
Allot like Chocolatito’s last fight. Guy just not giving up bomb after bomb.
Kinda agree Diego.
Inoue could box on the outside having the faster hands and longer reach. But he doesn’t have that temperament. So the size factor and chin factor would be the tell. I dont see that fight happening this year. To much for Choco to do at his weight class.
A very enterteining fight plenty of action till the very end with a memorable final round. Both boxers were technically competent exchanging a very nice combination of fast punches with an Inoue showing a better precision most of the time. Both of them used the jab with good proficiency. The last 3 rounds were all just Inoue who was able to keep a higher pace than his rival. The final decision was right but however the judges card but one didn’t reflect reality as usual happen wit most of the fight carried out in Japan. If you go to Japan it is a must to win for knock out to ensure you really got the victory.
Wow! Great fight! Glad I got a chance to catch it!
