[Boxing]: Jerwin Ancajas vs Takuma Inoue - February 24

[AmoreJaz]

I don't think that the Japanese board will try to influence the outcome with the help of the judge. It will be ashamed for Japan to commit that kind of act specially in boxing. Ancajas is a live dog here, he has power so most likely if he wins, it will be by knockout, IMHO.

Takuma Inoue doesn't have a good chin, there was one Filipino that put knock him down in fight, but Inoue come back and win.

But not against Nordine, he crack that chin and that's it, he beat him in his own country. And that should Ancajas aim so that there will be no chance for the judges to screw him up in scoring if he thinks or us boxing fans that judges could be bias in favor of Takuma Inoue.

i am also on this sentiment, Japanese people are one of the honest people on this planet so i won't doubt the judging on this match. besides, the judges are not all japanese, right? and for ancajas not to think about the judging bias, why not knock out inoue as early as he can?

i can also understand the results of the poll here as i noticed there are a lot of filipinos in the forum as compared to japanese. actually, i don't know anyone who is japanese. so yeah, sure, the poll will be favouring ancajas here...

so a lot here are rooting for ancajas, then bet on him right now as he is the underdog on this match -

I am sure he can because he had done that before, but with other champion I guess. Well, since the fight is held in Japan, you can't really blame people if they are speculating on something like that, but we will see what would be the outcome of the  fight, maybe it's not necessary to debate if it will end in KO, whoever wins.

I sure will bet on him. I am also waiting for more markets so I could find some attractive odds, you know what I'm saying.
They have a local community here - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=252.0... but most of them if not all are just focus on their community. If they will discuss about boxing, most probably on their own language.

You can monitor the odds here. Not much yet but the moneyline odds is already attractive for me. This odds that you are looking for might be available in Feb 23, a day before the fight. This is a championship fight but both boxers aren't so popular in the boxing world, so it's understandable why markets are not yet out early.

I guess I have to vote for Ancajas to win via KO.. I feel it's the safest way to win, no shady thing or whatsoever, let's respect the judges decision but as a challenger, the best way to win is not on the scorecards.

Thanks for sharing. I also checked on other sportsbook, it's still the same, they have limited odds for this fight as of now. There was no changes, Ancajas is still at x3 to win. Just a quick update, it's 12 days to go before this championship fight, hopefully the training now is already relax as they can't go full force training at this stage as they might overtrain leading to postponement of the fight again.

I'm searching for updates of these two but could not find any significant and latest update, not so hype unlke other fights because these two are probably not good with talking trash to each other, it's only Casimero who are experts on this among the Filipino boxers. LOL

The playing of the Japanese players are entirely different one,because they are ready to play till their winnings.They won’t play the game just like that,the spirit of the player was huge.Ancajas was the opinion of most of the fans in  boxing community.The previous game of this player was impressive,they made many K.O games in their previous games.

The pool can be favoured to the ancajas,even I had wish for the ancajas.But the result will be favourable to the Inoue for sure.The gamblers who keep their betting in the odds of Inoue will make the money in the following boxing betting which is going to held on the February 24 of this month.

I agree, most likely the training has unwind already, perhaps just writing down their strategies in this fight and most likely Ancajas is really motivated as he is a big underdog going into this fight.

And I think for us who is going to support him, we don't need to wait for other odds to be listed. The ML is already huge as it is x3. Casimero who is a trashtalking from the Philippines is really very uncanny, as we all know that Filipinos doesn't open their mouth but likely to used their fist to send their message to their opponents.

When you are an underdog then it would really be giving out that feeling that you would really be doing your very best and beating up the brother of Inoue is something that he could boast on. 
The thing i do see in these fighters that both arent that hard punchers on which this fight might really be that ending up on decisions via split or unanimous. It is really that hard to guess but
i wont be shocked if Ancajas would really be getting this one, im not really just that expecting for some KO though. We already have 11 days for the said fight
and my money goes to Ancajas this time but of course he shouldnt really be confident since he's opponent isnt something easy to be beaten up.,

That x3 ML odd is already juicy for us who support our compatriot but honestly, I don't expect that he could win this fight on the home turf of Takuma Inoue. Though Ancajas won his tune-up against Wilner Soto, I don't think that he could dismantle the Japanese that easily as for me Ancajas is in the twilight of his career, after two consecutive losses to Martinez, i just fell that he don't have what it takes to be in this kind of stage once again though hoping that i might be wrong.

It's a different weight class though, he doesn't have to weight drain himself again and I do think it contributed to his lost to Martinez as he cant no longer make that weight. For the Wilner Soto fight, might be a test for him on how he is going to do if he move up and weight and most likely they like what they see on him. And it's good that he had been given another chance to crack for another belt against Inoue. So hopefully, he will not take advantage of it and he should give his 100% or more in this fight so that he will continue to have a career. Otherwise, he will be just another fighter in this division and he might not have had this chance again.

btc_angela, Yes, I absolutely agree with that. Guys from the Philippines generally do not talk too much and let their fists do the talking. But this is a little different. He is definitely talking a lot. Maybe not at a very big level of trash talking but he is definitely talking.

Ancajas is going to feel motivated in my opinion. Because I also think that He's going to feel like an underdog in this fight. And that is something he should use as fuel. In the same thing can make people motivated and demotivated. The question is how you use this thing.

I haven't heard Ancajas thrash talk though, perhaps it has to do with English as not their first language although the country of the Philippines has good knowledge of the language itself. And I do agree that they rather let their fist to the talking. Maybe they will look at their opponents eye and says to themselves that they are going to knock him out.

Of course, any boxer is going to be motivated specially if a belt is on the line. Ancajas has been a champion before and so he knows what it feels to be a champion again and so he will really give everything in this fight.

That's one thing, a language barrier, but Inoue is also a Japanese, so he doesn't speak english well too. Also, Filipino boxers are known to being humble, except for casimero, that's why they don't talk a lot but you can be sure that they are training hard for this big fight.

Ancajas will make this opportunity to come back being a champion, so this is an opportunity for believers to bet on this boxer with a very good odds which is 3:1 as reported. Don't worry, they'll do the talking in the ring.

The odds are excessively leaning toward Takuma Inoue. Is it because he is the younger sibling of Naoya Inoue? Or because he is the champion and the match is to be held in Japan? Takuma Inoue does not have a punching power that can knock out Jerwin Ancajas. But perhaps he is a sure winner by the judges in the event that Ancajas cannot deliver a knockout.

Anyhow, their fists will do the talking. Ancajas will need to deliver the knockout and Inoue will be there for the points victory. This match will go to the boxer who works out harder.

[serjent05]

i am also on this sentiment, Japanese people are one of the honest people on this planet so i won't doubt the judging on this match. besides, the judges are not all japanese, right? and for ancajas not to think about the judging bias, why not knock out inoue as early as he can?

I do not know if the Japanese boxing judges has changed or the commission does not tolerate such a sided decision regardless of the boxing performance, but in previous years Japanese judges have been known to side with their boxers , so for the visiting boxer to win, he has to knock out his Japanese opponent.  It is good to have judges that are not Japanese, at least if this guy had not bought, the decision might seen as fair.

i can also understand the results of the poll here as i noticed there are a lot of filipinos in the forum as compared to japanese. actually, i don't know anyone who is japanese. so yeah, sure, the poll will be favouring ancajas here...

Honestly, I have no confidence that Jerwin Ancajas will win this fight.  He was been cracked by Fernando Martinez twice and his win in his previous fight won't count because he faced a player that has little resistance to punches (16 losses 7 of them kissing the canvas).

But you have to understand that when he fought Martinez, he already had problems with his weight, he has outgrown that division already and we can say the Martinez is a great boxer as well.

Then he has to get that cherry pick up when he goes up in weight, to bring back his confidence and so Ancajas win via KO.

So we can't really say that he will lose this fight although he is a big underdog against a Japanese. You can also say that argument against Takuma when he was beaten by Nordine via knockout. But the Takuma comes back and win the belt.

We will find out if Ancajas is still a champion by heart. He lose his belt in another division, now he is in bantamweight which I believe he has no problem with the weight and he is more powerful here. Inoue isn't really a KO artist, so there's nothing to worry here, unless Ancajas will allow himself to get outbox by the champion which obviously would result to a unanimous decision victory by the home fighter.

So we can't really say that he will lose this fight although he is a big underdog against a Japanese. You can also say that argument against Takuma when he was beaten by Nordine via knockout. But the Takuma comes back and win the belt.

For sure, that's why I could not resist myself on betting on him, with a very attractive odds,  who would say no to it. It's my way of supporting Ancajas and if he wins, I'll be able to reward myself too.

Soon my friend. His last win was via TKO, maybe that will give him the confidence to win again and become a champion. He had 2 losses against Fernando Daniel Martinez in 2022, I'm sure he was able to recover now, and his last win was a proof. Martinez is not a KO artist too, the same with Inoue, but let's see, maybe the outcome will be different.

Ancajas knows what is at stake here, a loss here is not gonna help his career as he won't be getting big fights and have to improve his ranking to get one, and it might take time, considering he is already 32 years old, he is not young anymore, so he needs ot win here and probably retire as a champion if he can.

For sure Japanese people are some of the most honest people in the world and they surely do their work perfectly because they have a mindset that they should do a job properly the work ethic in Japan is truly what they are proud of, it is based on their extreme dedication and commitment in a company and they have a high sense of responsibility in their work, so if they are working as a referee and their boss would say to them to do the unthinkable thing they will surely done it. for sure we can be proud of their work ethics but their honesty in my opinion we can not be so sure about it.

Thanks for sharing. I also checked on other sportsbook, it's still the same, they have limited odds for this fight as of now. There was no changes, Ancajas is still at x3 to win. Just a quick update, it's 12 days to go before this championship fight, hopefully the training now is already relax as they can't go full force training at this stage as they might overtrain leading to postponement of the fight again.

I'm searching for updates of these two but could not find any significant and latest update, not so hype unlke other fights because these two are probably not good with talking trash to each other, it's only Casimero who are experts on this among the Filipino boxers. LOL

I still haven't checked on the other sportsbooks but I will eventually, this is an important fight for the Filipinos because we now have fewer belts for boxing and Jerwin Ancajas is not really a big name even in our country but I have watched him fight in the recent when he is just starting in boxing and I got to admit he had a future in boxing for sure a future champ in the horizon however against the brother of the monster Takuma Inoue had a decent record and only got a lost against Nordine Oubaali, which is understandable but for sure against Jerwin Ancajas he needs to take precaution for me Takuma can not underestimated Ancajas and that I am sure about.

That's what I'm saying, he has beaten in the lower division and the "excuse" is that he can't no longer make the weight. He move up, face a so-so fighter and win convincingly. Then he was given another opportunity to fight and so here is Ancajas.

Yes, we call him a live dog, and as what other fans says, it's a great and very appealing odds for us.

And we can just wait and watch the game live and hope that Ancajas can pull that biggest upset again and regain his status and then carry again the Philippine flag.

If Ancajas won't run out of gas there is probably a chance for him to win the fight aside from knocking out his opponent.  But most of the Filipino boxers' problem is running out of gas when the mid-rounds start.  I am not convinced yet that he has proven himself by beating his previous opponent since as one of the replies stated, his previous opponent isn't that tough.  The next would be if he wins.

Ancajas knows what is at stake here, a loss here is not gonna help his career as he won't be getting big fights and have to improve his ranking to get one, and it might take time, considering he is already 32 years old, he is not young anymore, so he needs ot win here and probably retire as a champion if he can.

It is still early for Ancajas to retire, 32 years old is still considered as a prime age for boxing, i doubt he will retire if he wins this fight, probably he will be boxing for another 3 to 5 years depending on his performance.  And most boxers don't retire as a champion so I doubt Ancajas will retire while holding the belt.
