SumikaiInoue legt vor dem Box-Showdown gegen Akhmadaliev in Nagoya den Fokus voll auf Sieg. #Boxen #Inoue #Akhmadaliev #Sport #Japan
FightScore#boxing Naoya #Inoue remains the Undisputed Super Bantamweight Champion, defending his titles against Murodjon #Akhmadaliev via UD with a wide margin. Inoue pressed the action for most of the fight, with Akhmadaliev answering in short bursts in the early and middle rounds. Akhmadaliev showed up in the late rounds, perhaps trying to catch Inoue then, but Inoue is just ... him. Surprisingly, Inoue did not go for KO the entire fight but went forward for the action.
Is #InoueNakatani next? ๐ช๐

#boxing Naoya #Inoue is still Undisputed Super Bantamweight Champion after the fight with Ramon #Cardenas which ended via TKO-8. Cardenas fought like a warrior, scoring a knockdown on the 2nd, but Inoue is just... him. A very good fight to cap #CincoDeMayo weekend.
It seems MJ #Akhmadaliev is next for Inoue. Still hoping he would fight 4A #Casimero before moving up to 126.

#boxing As expected, Naoya #Inoue delivered a KO against late replacement Ye Joon #Kim. It came in the 4th round, Inoue defending his Undisputed title @ 122. Kim replaced Sam #Goodman who pulled out after an eye injury, after the fight had been rescheduled over the same injury.
So fans ask: when is Inoue fighting contenders the likes of former 122 Unified World Champion MJ #Akhmadaliev or 3-division World Champion 4A #Casimero?

#boxing It is said that there is a plan for Naoya #Inoue to fight Alan #Picasso in spring in the US. A plan which MJ #Akhmadaliev objects to, as he is now Interim Champion & WBA mandatory.
As potential opponents for Inoue, it would seem that MJ is the fan favorite to fight for Undisputed.
MJ lost via SD to Marlon #Tapales who got KO'd by Inoue.
Picasso OTOH won a controversial decision against Azat #Hovhannisyan, who got KO'd by Luis #Nery in a tough fight, who in turn got KO'd by Inoue. ๐
#boxing Currently, MJ #Akhmadaliev is challenging 122 Undisputed Champion Naoya #Inoue. So is 4A #Casimero. MJ is a former 122 Unified Champion, and Casimero is a former 118 WBO Champion who was scheduled to fight Inoue for Undisputed @ 118.
Some fans are calling for #AkhmadalievCasimero for the right to fight Inoue. This would be a ๐ช fight, but 4A would be high risk for MJ. Then there's #Tapales for a rematch with MJ.
122 is the division to watch right now, for all of Inoue's belts. ๐๐ช๐ฏ
#boxing MJ #Akhmadaliev won via TKO over Ricardo Espinoza. The fight was ๐ช and Espinoza gave him a good one, but MJ gave back a better one, winning he WBO Interim belt.
Now MJ is challenging Naoya #Inoue whose fight against Sam #Goodman is postponed to January due to Goodman's cut a few days to the Christmas Eve fight.
Inoue is expected to win in case he fights MJ. MJ lost the WBA and IBF belts to Marlon #Tapales via SD and Tapales got KO'd by Inoue when the latter became Undisputed @ 122 ๐
#boxing Who should Naoya #Inoue fight next in December?
There are still top names @ Super Bantamweight that The Monster has not fought:
MJ #Akhmadaliev is a former Unified Champion @ 122 who lost via SD to #Tapales, who Inoue fought to become Undisputed Champion.
4A #Casimero is the former WBO Champion @ 118 & was scheduled to fight Inoue, but the fight fell through. He was stripped of the belt for cutting weight via sauna in violation of BBBoC rules, during the fight vs Paul Butler.
