As expected, Inoue is set to defend his title against Luis Nery of Mexico. Just don't understand why the venue will be in Tokyo, Japan as Nery was banned from fighting in Japan due to cheating but I guess it has already been lifted (for confirmation).

No odds yet but as usual, the Japanese Monster will be the heavy favorite on this fight.

So Nery would really be first on the line, it is really just that not shocking that they would be lifting that ban in Nery just because it do have a fight against Inoue. So its not really a surprising thing.
Why they do really love for Inoue not to fight outside Japan? This is why its never been that avoidable that boxing  fans around would really be having those rumors and sayings
that there's something behind but well, if everything is fair then it wont really be an issue but even me, would really be loving to see Inoue to come out and touch up another soil
when it comes to his further boxing matches.

Nery? would stood a chance.? He has power but i cant say about the speed on which i would really be still sticking on Inoue
for this upcoming fight.

I was expecting the same though. I thought it will be outside Japan due to the ban issue, but this confirmation eliminates the doubt that Nery is still ban. Good to see Inoue finally getting a good opponent, hopefully Nery would give Inoue some good challenge as he looks tough in that picture.

Still, I would favor Inoue to win, he is unbeatable I believe.

No odds yet but as usual, the Japanese Monster will be the heavy favorite on this fight.

We have this (https://www.oddschecker.com/boxing/naoya-inoue-v-luis-nery/winner), not sure if it's official though, but Inoue is 1.10 heavy favorite in that.

Yes, it was speculate that he will be the first to have a crack at Inoue after winning the undisputed title. But you raised a very important point, he is supposedly ban in Japan, but according to the links, it will in Inoue's country, so it was a big surprised that the Japanese boxing commission is going to give exception to the ban on Neri.

In any case, I don't think it will have a bearing in this match.

Obviously, Inoue is going to be the huge favorite here and not sure if Neri has the tools to beat a prime Inoue at this point.

[Yogee]

Ain't that too soon for him? I bet Inoue wants to keep on fighting and cement his legacy in boxing but I think his team should be smarter when they accept contracts. I understand that he's still young and at his peak but they should be looking after their fighter's longevity too. Maybe take a a page from Mayweather's book on how he negotiates and leverage his position.

[yazher]

Inoue should now be getting some exposure outside his country since he was winning some fights in a flawless way to win a boxing match and get those belts easily. Just because they wanted him to still fight in Japan, they even lifted the ban just for the fight to happen there.

I wonder what would be the result again and since this is another easy fight, I am only curious about what round Nery will be knocked out by Inoue. why are they taking it so long to fight, can't they make it possible in March?

[Hirose UK]

If indeed this fight will take place in Tokyo, Japan then that means that Nery ban on fighting in Japan has been lifted, but we don't know why the ban was lifted because in the past there was quite heated conflict or discussion regarding the ban.
Could all this be done because Nery opponent will be Inoue who is great boxer in Japan and maybe all this is also for the sake of Inoue title which will be defended.
Anyone would definitely make Inoue the favorite and of course Inoue chances of winning are wide open, but Nery himself is also pretty great boxer because he only suffered 1 defeat and has quite lot of KO wins.

This is very interesting fight and of course the winner is the undisputed champion, if Nery manages to beat Inoue then this Japanese boxer will lose his record as an undefeated boxer as well as the belt he holds.
For now, I still think that Inoue will be much more dominant, but we have to see in the future how Nery will prepare.

[Kemarit]

Another weird thing is that he will put everything on the line here? I thought that Nery is only mandatory for his WBC belt. But it seems that other governing bodies as well has given the go signal in this fight to have their belts also put in the line.

Nevertheless, we haven't seen anyone had the blue print to beat Inoue, not even the best 3 fighters in this division, including Casimero and Akhmadaliev. And so I don't see Nery pulling a upset and again, this fight might not get over 10 rounds. I'm seeing the over and under at 7.5 rounds. ML? Nah, it's not going to be appealing to us, could be per rounds but it's going to be hard to predict which round is Nery going to be knockout or stop by Inoue.

He wasn't damage on his last couple of fights, he beat Donaire in 2 rounds, same with Fulton and Tapales, it didn't last the full 12 rounds. He might have been hit combine in those 3 fights by just 10% or even less power shots from those fighters.

So he is still fresh and for sure the Japanese body will not allow him if they see that Inoue is not fit to fight in May. Just like during the prime years of Canelo where he fight at least 3x in a given 12 months run. Not sure if we can compare him against Mayweather as Floyd carefully picks the fight he wants.

Yeah, he finish most of his fights in the early rounds, so he wasn't relaly challenge to his limit yet. Honestly, I feel that we will see a similar outcome on his previous fight in this particular fight as I don't see Nery a real good fighter that is on the level of Inoue. This will be this coming May, hopefully Inoue will also consider fighting Casimero before this year ends.

My prediction here is KO, as to the question if it's early or late rounds, that depends on how aggressive Nery is, the more aggressive he is, the riskier he will take.

This is still rumored since there's no final confirmation that they would have a fight this year. But since Nery's name is in discussion then provably there are people working to make this fight to happen. And again expect that Inoue will be fan favorite between this fight since there are still so many people got hype for the record he get and also his latest win against Tapales.

Not sure if we can compare him against Mayweather as Floyd carefully picks the fight he wants.

No, No we can't compare him to Floyd yet since the only Hall of famer he defeat is only Donaire while Floyd he beat a lot of them also together with money since this is the discussions floating on media since they compare Inoue to them.

If Inoue could defeat more hall of famers and also fight outside of his comfort zone then maybe there will be lot of fans will get convince that he's in line with Mayweather and Pacquaio.

[dothebeats]

I like that some of the articles I've read regarding this shows that Nery is already doing some rounds of trash talking and selling the fight. We all know that Inoue is still miles ahead of Nery even though the Mexican has a powerful left hook that, if landed, can result to a KO. Inoue's speed and power is currently unmatched in the super bantamweight division, and this fight will just further seal his reign in the division before he decides to step up (if that's going to happen).

I get that he hasn't receive much damage and he'll most likely win in a dominant fashion against Nery on May but the wear and tear from all the preparations leading to each fight is going to affect him sooner or later. He probably has a great conditioning coach with him but let's keep in mind that Inoue is also 30. It won't be the same as he grows older so I think they'll need to rethink how often they accept future fights.

He can also win this fight, no doubt. It's good that it will happen early, hopefully this means that one more fight for Inoue this year defending his title, and I really hope that he will eventually accept the challenge of Casimero so people will stop speculating about Inoue's dodging game on Casimero.

Currently, here's the ranking of Casimero.

#7 in WBC, #5 in IBF, #3 in WBO.

Maybe he does have a chance. He is also a champion and has knocked out lots of fighters. The only worry on his team is that the bout is going to be in Japan.
One knockdown of him and he's gonna be broken ready to give up. The team will decide to just stop the fight to save Nery. But he might get cheered if it's going to happen in MGM at least a few Latinos watching him will give him the pride to stand for his will.

[Baofeng]

I voted for Inoue by KO.

Nery is good, but I don't think he can stand against the power of Inoue. Not just that, but if you observed, Inoue's IQ is also underrated as we can only see his power. But if you look at his last fights, he sets a trap like in the Fulton wherein Stephen thought that he will go to the body and then boom, straight in the face. Same with Tapales, he let Marlon get confident early and then he scored a knockout in the 4th.

So I'm seeing the same might happen to Nery or even worst, Inoue winning by KO earlier if Nery chooses to engage Inoue as that is his style. And his power might not put any dent in Inoue.

I thought that this fight will be in US at least neutral grounds for Inoue or Top Rank given him exposure to the US fan based and not just be comfortable in fighting in his home country. And what's odd is that the Japanese is known to have that discipline and mentality to stick to their words, honor it.

So it really surprises me to see that they allowed a fighter that they ban because he was caught with Peds to be able to fight in their country just because it's Inoue. Anyway, in paper it might be good to see that he is fighting a former champion, but it doesn't matter. I think Inoue will retain all his belts and Nery not surviving the whole fight as others said.

[FinneysTrueVision]

I had the feeling they would lift Nery's suspension. This will be a massive fight in Japan and they don't want to lose that revenue to another country. Nery has shown some weakness when he is hit to the body and that is probably where Inoue will be targeting. Despite having an impressive record, I don't think Nery has the style to beat Inoue. Nery is more of a brawler, Inoue should be able to outsmart him. I'm predicting a late body shot KO.

[Questat]

I had the feeling they would lift Nery's suspension.

Yes, it was already lifted and was reported.
Former WBC champ Luis Nery has suspension lifted, will fight Oct. 6

Former bantamweight world titlist Luis Nery has had his suspension lifted by the WBC and is scheduled to return to the ring on Oct. 6.

In June, the sanctioning organization suspended him from participating in any bouts the WBC was involved in for six months, retroactive to his failing to make the 118-pound weight limit for a title defense in March.

So no more speculation now, this fight is going to happen as no more hindrance that would likely stop it. However, I'm afraid that Nery's ban being lifted was not really a good news because he will suffer his biggest loss in boxing in the hands of Inoue in Japan.

This guy has 1 loss via KO from    Brandon Figueroa.

[bbc.reporter]

This will be a boring fight because it will be again in Tokyo and the opponent is not very exciting for the fans. However, this might be a good chance for John Riel Casimero to challenge and win against someone who will make him a contender to challenge Inoue for his WBA, WBC, WBO and IBF championships. I reckon with Casimero's personality, if he fights Inoue it should certainly be in Las Vegas.
