Naoya Inoue vs Luis Nery

Fight is all set for May 6 at Tokyo Dome. Much anticipated fight and should be a good one while it lasts. Explosive match up.

Naoya Inoue vs Luis Nery officially announced for Tokyo Dome, May 6

 

Card looks interesting:

Naoya Inoue vs Luis Nery
Takuma Inoue vs Sho Ishida
Seigo Yuri Akui vs Taku Kuwahara 2
Jason Maloney vs Yoshiki Takei
John Riel Casimero vs TJ Doheny

 

Hopefully there is legit drug testing for this but even if not nery is getting murdered for his cheating shit vs yamanaka

The Tokyo Dome aka The Big Egg

I saw the Packers vs Chiefs (preseason game) there in '98.

 

This fight may be a significant event for Japanese boxing given the context. The pressure is on Inoue to give Japan the redemption and revenge that they have longed for after what Nery did to Yamanaka. The question would be if Nery is gonna try and miss weight again and if Inoue will still follow through with it.

 

I'm assuming it was the Welfare fraud Farve starting against what Chiefs QB?

 

I was just going to ask. Thanks.

 

Luis Gearys execution will be televised

 

Nery actually made weight.

 

Disagreed that the Asian market wasn't what it is now when pacquaio fought. Its just that Japan is a richer nation than the Philippines

If pacquaio was Japanese the fights there would've been monstrous

 

Valid Point...

Who among you boxing fans is watching this fine Asian display of boxing live ?

 

I am. From the motherland too!

 

Akui looks strong. Beat armo dalakian who held that title for years

 

At least when nippon puts on long ass undercards it's wit guys who come to scrap for the most part

 

This first prelim fight is a better display of skills and more entertaining than all three fights from the Canelo card.

Me thinks the champ is in danger of losing his title here.

 

These boys bringing it

 

Yep.

How/where are you watching this?

 

Challenger is game but gettin hammered

It's on espn+ here at 2am

 

Oops. I was under the mistaken impression that the guy in the blue and white trunks was the champion. That's what I get for trying to watch a fight and eat spaghetti at the same time.

 

If I'm a boxer I'm cutting the floppy hair. That shit is bad for bizness

 

This ain't as 1 sided but reminds me of that last Inoue fight undercard where dude got all fucked up and/ or died

 

I really am sick that kambozo is back in the spotlight. This chump milked one flukish, narrow win into too many paydays. Fuck lopez

He bout to lose 12 more rounds down under

 

Akihiko Honda > Alan haymon

 

Damn I have to go walk my dogs. Should have left in Rd 10 of the last fight.

 

Down goes inoues brother from a jab
