Fight fans, here are the official weigh-in video for this fight,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAWSjmCFqSY

Although it seems that Ancajas has a problem making weight as he needs to strip naked.

I don't know what to take though base on their body language, Inoue looks weight drain by sharp but Ancajas has still some body fats but still make the weight.

When I first saw the video I was a little concerned about Ancajas he is quite drained but he looks ok even smiling at the crowd now he needs to rehydrate I hope he has the right method for rehydrating himself this is a hard fight for Ancajas his last win although a TKO is against an unknown and not to his level fighter I hope he can shrug off the memory of his two losses against Fernando Daniel Martinez that two losses are ugly and a reference for all his opponents.
I'm sure Inoue's camp will use the Fernando Daniel Martinez strategy to beat Ancajas.
I hope Jerwin will capture another title we need more Filipino champions, the Japanese are taking over the supremacy in boxing in the Asian region.

Yes, we need more champions now; it seems like Filipino champions are losing their titles slowly, but this time there's another opportunity for Ancajas to go back to being a champion. Looking at Inoue in the video shared, he looked very ready for the fight, but there's still one day for Ancajas to recover whatever he does to his body just to pass the requirements in the weigh-in. Still, my decision hasn't changed yet; I'm rooting for Ancajas to win, and I'm expecting a more impressive win, which is a KO.

[Questat]

still will put my money on Jerwin Ancajas here and I'm going to take a risk with no less than a knockout victory. Odds is 6.0 for that and fight not going to distance at 4.x.

Same here, nothing's changed, my bet is still on Ancajas. Between the x6 and x4 odds, I think I'll only take one, and that is Ancajas to win via KO. I'm thinking if I will bet on x4 for the fight not going to distance, I still believe that it's Ancajas that will win since Inoue doesn't have a high KO rate, so most likely it will go the distance if he will end up as the winner.

Right, everything is set now.

And good luck to those who bet already for Jerwin, all we have to do is wait for the next tomorrow night. Just remember though that this is not like in the US wherein the fight is held during weekends.

Same day in the Philippines but probably not the same time. It's not the firt time we see some fights held in Japan, so we are pretty aware about this. But for this, as per schedule, it will be at  4 a.m. ET. , and if we translate that to Philippine time, that would be at 5:00 PM or in the afternoon.

There are lots of streams on facebook, we will do the usual. In the Philippines, I don't know if it's possible to acquire a subscription for ESPN +.. but it's not important, as long as there are kind people who streams, everything is already solve on our end.

[Shamm]

Tomorrow will be the fight day and one thing for sure it will be a good fight. Anyways  for this matchup ancajas is my bet not just he is a Filipino but I believe in skills and techniques that he have a chance to defeat takuma Inoue. Ancajas is one of the best fighter not just the best but one of the good example cause he is humble. He have a techniques that can make him victorious a good hand combinations with a footwork for sure victory is in him but not just easy cause takuma Inoue is a good boxer as well.

He will not become a former champion if he doesn't have the skills. Game on, we'll be witnessing this championship fight tomorrow. I think Inoue has something to worry about as he'll be facing a former champ who is known for his aggressive style. Although Takuma is a champion, he isn't a monster like Naoya, so Jerwin here can do all his business to attack the champion and try to get a win via KO.

As we enjoy watching this fight, we should also consider betting to add more spice to the action.

as per schedule, it will be at  4 a.m. ET. , and if we translate that to Philippine time, that would be at 5:00 PM or in the afternoon.

Thanks for the guide, there's no more reason for us to miss this fight.

Undercard has started, unfortunately, for Filipino boxing fans, Jonas Sultan lost via knockout to Riku Masuda in round 1

This a sorry loss for Jonas Sultan he just lost to an unknown guy with a record of 3-1 before the fight, this is Jonas Sultan first knockout loss of his career and it hurts considering he is on a good run he just out from a unanimous decision win against Frank Gonzales in Liverpool England and for the record, Jonas is one of the few fighters who has beaten John Riel Casimero, Jonas is a veteran of many championship fights and its very unfortunate that he lose to a guy who has only 4 fights, who can be considered new in professional boxing..

Sultan was seen shaking his head while heading to the dressing room I wonder what would be his future now because of this loss.

This was the shot that hurt Jonas It was a straight left kidney shot at the same spot Gervonta landed on Garcia

Yeah too bad for Sultan lost in round 1.
I think the main event will start around 7pm EST? This is gonna be exciting match for both fighters. As we all know Jerwin is believed to be underdog especially that he's have taken too much damage from his last 2 fights against Martinez. But there are a lot of people, including the Filipino boxing fans strongly believed that Jerwin has a shot at this match as long as he will avoid a close fight, since Japan is a home court advantage for Inoue. Some fans believed a close fight can be easily be altered in favor of their countryman.

Nobody saw this coming, Jonas is a veteran in championship fights it is very unlikely that he'll lose to a guy who is not yet a veteran in the ring having four fights in his career, but this is boxing anything can happen, a kidney punch is harder to recover than a head or chin punch because you can hardly breathe and you cannot move your body straight, a perfectly landed kidney shot will get you immobile for a few seconds.
Sultan will have a hard time climbing to the top again with this loss, he is expected to win here I even consider this a cherry-picked fight for Sultan.

That's the kind of unpredictability in boxing; he was careless and got caught up with a solid body shot, and he's done. It's currently Inoue vs. Takuma now, but I could not find a good stream that doesn't have interruptions since, from time to time, it will be stopped, and I have to find a new one. So far, Ancajas is looking good, although they are still observing each other as they are not too aggressive, but maybe after 3 rounds, we will see a real fight.

Good luck, Jerwin Ancajas!

Ancajas doesn't have good timing, and he looks tired now. Inoue is very disciplined to still keep his game plan at work; the counter-punching is working well for him, and the fight has just ended. What happened was the most unexpected, and that is Inoue won via KO, that body shot though. I think Ancajas is done here; he is not the same anymore, even a boxer that doesn't have a high KO rate has knocked him out.

Sorry for the lost bets, guys. That's gambling; at least the fight wasn't boring because Ancajas was really attacking and would always want to go for a kill, but his timing is off, and he doesn't have the power to KO the champion.

I think Ancajas is done here; he is not the same anymore, even a boxer that doesn't have a high KO rate has knocked him out.

Fans were disappointed with his movement in the fight; he seemed too slow for a bantamweight fighter. He could have been knocked out earlier if Takuma was a KO artist because his defense wasn't there, and he just continued to attack but doesn't have the power to hurt the champion. This should be a big win for Takuma as he doesn't win via KO in most of his fights; in his title defense, he was able to do that. I can see that he has good training as we can see on his body that they really worked for it. He wasn't gassed and was able to maintain the quickness in the fight.

Sorry for the lost bets, guys. That's gambling; at least the fight wasn't boring because Ancajas was really attacking and would always want to go for a kill, but his timing is off, and he doesn't have the power to KO the champion.

That's normal, but there's still one championship fight for our Filipino boxer, and that is Gaballo. Hopefully, he'll win so he could unify with Takuma.

In round 3 I thought Ancajas was very slow and his timing was off, Takuma Inoue may not have his brother's power but he has his brother's speed, Ancajas missed a lot of big shots Takuma is beating him and he caught Ancajas with a lot of counter punches, it was not a boring fight and anyone can go down anytime when they exchanged blows until Ancajas was hit by a kidney punch.

Two great Filipino fighters just lost because of the body punches tonight this is indeed a bad night of boxing for the Filipino boxing fans, Takuma landed a perfectly timed kidney punch and we all know once you are hit with a kidney punch it takes the oxygen out of the body, and every effort to stand is futile.

Now we only have Casimero to carry the Philippine flag in boxing, ever since Pacquiao retires in boxing there's no new prospect, it seems the great era in Philippine boxing has ended because of these two losses, another Filipino fighter remaining now is Mark Magsayo, who just scored a knock out against Avelar in his featherweight debut.
I just hope there is still good fights remaining for Ancajas this is a bad year for Filipino boxers.

Correct mate , this is boxing and each of them has a power punches and has their weaknesses ,
so once that the punch landed in their weaknesses then for sure they will feel the impact and maybe they
will not recovered like what had happened to Sultan today , he is a known veteran and a favorite actually
in this undercard but sadly things did not come His way now.

They seem to have perfected this body punch, just like Naoya Inoue. That has become a trademark, and he is the best among all boxers in Japan. So he could train other boxers with his technique so they could dominate. They are comfortable fighting in Japan, and they are destroying Filipino boxers who are dominating among Asians in the fans. The world has really changed for the Philippines and Japan in terms of boxing.

Now we only have Casimero to carry the Philippine flag in boxing, ever since Pacquiao retires in boxing there's no new prospect, it seems the great era in Philippine boxing has ended because of these two losses, another Filipino fighter remaining now is Mark Magsayo, who just scored a knock out against Avelar in his featherweight debut.
I just hope there is still good fights remaining for Ancajas this is a bad year for Filipino boxers.

Unfortunately, Casimero is not a champion and doesn't even have a chance now to fight for a championship match-up. Inoue vs. Casimero, that's an anticipated fight, but Inoue's camp is more focused on boxers at the top of the ranking, which Casimero has failed to achieve yet.

Sultan might be too overconfident coming into the fight. His style is so predictable; all he does is just attack and pressure his opponent. Unfortunately for him, he matched up with an unknown but powerful boxer. Maybe that would give him a lesson to learn. Next time, he should be careful; everyone makes mistakes, so they need to learn from that.

This is his first loss via KO, and that is from a fighter that has 4 wins and 1 loss, but all his wins are via KO. Sultan should have respected him.

Yeah, he was, and I don't blame him for that since that has been his style, and it worked for him. The timing was just good for the Japanese, so he got the victory, and sure, the fans are rejoicing since all their boxers are successful, especially Inoue, who is the defending champion. Ancajas has nothing to be ashamed of; although he lost, he had the experience to be a world champion, and for me, that's already a big success for him. We just have to be realistic here that Pacman is just one of a kind of breed as a boxer, so we can't compare the current boxers to his achievements, and it's okay to lose; that's part of the game.

That's very disappointing. I was too confident that Ancajas would be a real challenge in the bantamweight division, but it turns out the observation during the weigh-in that he looked struggling to get the right weight makes him slow, and his punches do not possess the power to hurt Inoue. He was able to land some clean shots as well, but Inoue seemed to have absorbed it all, and the champion was even very aggressive to trade punches with him.

You guys are correct; it was his timing that was very off. He can't set up the right timing to score a knockdown, and Inoue has been very consistent with his counterpunch, making Ancajas get rocked every time he moves forward to attack.
