Naoya Inoue vs TJ Doheny

Shame it’s not against MJ. Pretty waste of time in his prime if you ask me.

Naoya Inoue will defend undisputed super-bantamweight title against TJ Doheny on September 3 in Japan

 

i saw doheny give danny roman a decent fight at the forum. cant say ive seen him since that i recall. but he is very popular in japan so it was inevitable they made this bullshit.

 

Doheny DESTROYED a Highly Touted Inoue Sparring Partner in 1 Round, Which is Where LEGIT Interest Grew From...Kid Named Japthalee or Something...Doheny Whupped His Ass...

TJ Ain't a "Cakewalk", Per Se, but the CLEAR Desired Opponent Here is MJ...People Use the Tapales Loss AGAINST MJ, But it Would Be a Bit of a DISSERVICE if Inoue Leaves '22 w/Out Having Faced Him, in REED's Opinion...




REED

 

Inoue - 122
Donehy - 121.5

 

5 more hours till inoue

I'm choosing the stay up option. Reed getting up for it, kudos on the mattlala reference

 

Some pretty shit undercards for the most part and Japan under cards are usually pretty good.

 

hiraoka boxing the shit outta abuelo barroso

 

barroso looks like he could be hiraokas trainer/father's father

 

takei vs higa is a fuckin brawl

 

Very fun fight. Enjoying this.

 

What time is Inoue fighting?

 

round 10 of higa takei, then inoue. so within next 15 to 30 min probably

 

Higa rocking Takei big the last couple of rounds.

 

Higa acted like both his hands were broke in the last round. He barely threw 5 punches. Basically just gave the round away to all three judges.

 

Reed, live streaming.

 

2-1 Inoue for me so far. Doheny boxed really well in the 3rd.

 

TJ is getting broken up in the sixth. Looks a matter of time from here

MTF

 

Unfortunate back injury to end that but it probably saved him from being brutally stopped. Only one winner from there.

MTF

 

Yeah. Weird ending but Inoue was breaking him down. I was actually quite impressed with Doheny for the most part. Really nice movement.

 

I don't know where they got those 2 model girls but Japan can and usually does do better than that.

 

Takei vs Higa was a fun scrap.

Inoue did his usual thing and stopped his opponent. Doheny won 2 rounds at best, just a shame that he hurt his back and couldn’t continue although a stoppage was inevitable anyways.

 

⚖️Fight day weigh in

Naoya Inoue - 138.2lbs
TJ Doheny - 145.75lbs

Doheny 7lbs heavier!

 

How did he Doh get that fight?

 

he had fought in japan 3 times already and is popular there

 

He's 31. What does he need to do to be in the GOAT discussion?

 

Beat an atg in his prime? Unfortunately, doesnt seems like theres one around his wc

 

Yeah, it's kind of sad but it seems Inoue prime will pass by without him facing a fellow, in his prime, ATG. There is absolutely no one around his weight class who seems to be near his clas and it feels a little unfair to expect him to climb up in weight again. Maybe Bam Rodriguez at bantam if hes still able to make the cut... that would be one he'll of a match-up.
