NAOYE INOUE vs SAM GOODMAN CHRISTMAS EVE

Good stay busy fight for Inoue to get himself ready for his Las Vegas fight next year. Goodman is a good fighter but clearly not on the level that would give Inoue any trouble.

 

Nothing good about this fight, especially since he just had a ''stay busy'' fight a couple of months ago. Inoue is amazing but unfortunately, not a lot of partners to make an interesting dance around his weight. MJ would be mildly interesting but far from a superfight

 

Akhmadaliev and nakatani are legit opponents for inoue

 

Typical TR

 

Yeah, Nakatani looks really good from what I've seen so far.

 

You think arum picks his opponents?

 

My observation is TR tries to keep everything in house,

 

Top rank is just his co promoter. Ohashi is his main promoter who picks the opponents. Really the only top rank guy he fought was Maloney.

Goodman isn't signed to top rank, he's promoted by some Australian guy

 

Just watched a few minutrs of his fight vs Worowut and he looked pretty much useless at the world level. Supposedly he broke his left hand, so it could explain the poor performance, but very doubtful he'll make this even slightly interesting.

 

Inoue has now signed with the Saudis.

Id rather see him fight saul goodman

 

Hopefully Goodman Doesn’t Show Up in SURVIVAL Mode, ala, Paul Butler and TJ Doheny…

These gringos are no match for an Asian assassin like inoue. They're as good as ded

 

Nakatani's the ONLY Guy Under 130 REED Gives a Shot @ Actually BEATING Inoue...

Not pleased with these last few foes for inoue. Now they're lining up this Alan Picasso kid for april instead of akhmadaliev

 

Goodman v Inoue Christmas Eve blockbuster OFF after training disaster cruels Aussie fighter

 

akhmadaliev fights on DAZN in the next hour or two vs a mexican opponent nicknamed Hindu. no idea why!

 

It's because he used to work at a Siete-once.

 

Akhmadaliev smashed Hindu and called out inoue heavily afterward

 

After #AkhmadalievEspinoza, Akhmadaliev, @EddieHearn & manager @VadimKTeam with a HARD call out of @naoyainoue_410, who really has to fight MJ. He's mandatory, former unified champion & Inoue has twice avoided the mandatory. It's really the only fight that matters at 122. #boxing

 

Naoya Inoue will fight a new opponent on Jan. 24, sources tell ESPN, after Sam Goodman withdrew again after the cut over his eye reopened in sparring. A replacement foe is being sought to challenge Inoue for his undisputed 122-pound championship on two weeks’ notice in Tokyo.

 

He had to be getting way more than 100k. Fulton got 3 mill allegedly vs inoue

 

Inoue is fighting an opponent named Ye Joon Kim as a late replacement. As underwhelming as that is you have to blame it on Sam Goodman for constantly stalling Inoue. Hes clearly afraid of getting a beat down and just seems to find a way to keep pulling out. He doesn’t deserve another chance.

As for Inoue I hope his next fight is another credible opponent.
