In Featherweight, #Inoue could potentially face Angelo #Leo, Brandon #Figueroa, Bruce #Carrington, and even Rafael #Espinoza. If #InoueEspinoza ever happens, Inoue would face an opponent 8 inches taller with 7 inches longer reach, almost similar in magnitude to the disparity between Keith #Thurman and Sebastian #Fundora. That would be an interesting though unfair fight.

Congratulations to Naoya Inoue for showing us the reason why he is the second-best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. 💪👊

#InoueNakatani lived up to the hype, both #Inoue and #Nakatani rising to the occasion of the highly anticipated fight. It showed these two fighters belong in the pound for pound rankings. And, it showed that Naoya Inoue is a great offensive fighter who can potentially win against the Featherweight Champions who have a similar build with Nakatani. 💪

If Inoue does move up to featherweight, the fight against John Riel #Casimero would now have a very slim chance of happening.

#boxing Naoya #Inoue is still the Undisputed Super Bantamweight Champion, defending against Junto #Nakatani in a spectacle worthy of a Mega Fight, via a comforable UD. It was a high level, elite, offensive match, both fighters showing skill and heart with neither ever running. Nakatani started late, with Inoue going to the body early. The offensive display was superb from both fighters, though Inoue was consistent in attacks throughout the fight, even in rounds that Nakatani won. Great fight 💪👊

#boxing Takuma #Inoue defends his WBC Bantamweight Title agaimst 4-division champion Kazuto #Ioka via a very wide UD. Ioka fought a hard battle, but Inoue floored him twice and scored throughout the fight. Good fight. 💪👊

Will Inoue unify next? 👊

The #InoueNakatani fight would be a good test if Naoya #Inoue could move up to Featherweight, since Junto #Nakatani has the natural build for that division, and has about the same size as champions Brandon #Figueroa or Bruce #Carrington.

This fight would probably be Inoue's most challenging fight since the first #InoueDonaire. Nakatani has power and is bigger. Inoue has KO'd a bigger champion before -- Jamie #Macdonell, but against whom Nakatani would have the advantage in power and skill. 💪

As for potential Naoya #Inoue fights, Alan #Picasso could be next for December. But the better opponent would be 3-division champion John Riel #Casimero. Now #InoueCasimero would be interesting but unlikely, as Inoue does not seem to want to fight him -- for too much trashtalking -- though it would be a bit dangerous for Inoue to fight Casimero before #InoueNakatani. Casimero is a legit contender, more so than all the other ranked fighters, having been scheduled to unify against Inoue at 118. 💪👊
For sure they are setting up the #InoueNakatani All Japan, All Undefeated megafight. Though it would be bigger if it would also be All Undisputed, if Junto #Nakatani manages to become Undisputed in 118 soon. But Naoya #Inoue may have only 1 legit fighter left to fight in 122, that being 4A #Casimero, and Nakatani still has to take the titles from Antonio #Vargas and the newly crowned champion Christian #Medina.
The fight with Nakatani is THE fight to do. 💪👊
#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? 💪👊
