Tapales maybe won 1 round and did what he could by attemtping to box smart and last the distance, but Inoue was throwing with intent - Tapales got smoked with a flush right cross and didn't get back up. KO10. Good live call by REED on his channel.
Fight was worth waking up early. Tápales showed up and gave Inoue a tough night, forced him to dig deep and make adjustments. I think he might have been Inoue’s toughest opponent since Nonito Donaire in the first fight. Props to both Tápales and Inoue for giving a good show.
Yeah man Tapales came to have a crack, but he was on the receiving end and when he got his bell rung good, that was that.
Tapales was tough and crafty enough to give it a go. He was able to change some of his tactics to defend his body better in the middle rounds and last longer than most expected. Inoue said he plans to set up shop at 122 for a while. Makes sense, there isn't any major names at 126 and the super bantam division seems like where his current ceiling is at strength/power wise Hopefully his next opponent isn't that cheating fuck nery
