Honestly, Marlon Tapales does have a good game plan against Naoya Inoue.
He clearly knows what to do, he knows what's the best strategy to do, and he knows truly how to beat Inoue. But the problem is, that gameplan is useless since he is unable to execute those in the actual fight. The Monster is always ready for any strategy that Tapales will execute.
Naoya Inoue still looked fresh and good-looking after the 10th-round fight. No hard bruises, no signs of being exhausted and I think can even fight again the day later lol. It just shows that the fight is already concluded early in the match. Tapales didn't even give Inoue a hard match. It's fine to lose if he shows desperation to win but all he does is stay mostly in defense mode the entire match.
They would really be countering each counter that the boxer that has been thinking and this is why each fighter would really be having a chance for them to grow or evolve because they would really be
trying to patch into those possible flaws and weakness that they do have. It is really just that normal that the opponent would really be finding ways and methods for them to take advantage into that
but its true that Inoue did really make out some counter with those preparations on what Tapales had done and we've seen that it is really that effective. He had taken down Tapales on Round 4
on which he seems to be tough on earlier rounds because of those guards but actually those body shots or blows do take the job. It do really looks like that cracking a shell of a nut until
it did break out.
@OP, this thread should be locked. This fight is over and it would be ideal that you should be closing this one to avoid further replies.
Thank you!
