[Boxing] Inoue vs Nery For Undisputed 122lbs Title - May

[lionheart78]

Although the public think that Inoue is going to win easily but I think this is different from his past fights. If we look at the record of Nery, he has 35 wins and 27 of that are in KO/TKO.... He only have one loss, so I think he deserve some respect. Inoue might still look for an early KO, but I believe Nery will not be in the ring to survive but to win. I like his character because he is aggressive as well, and without enough experience, I think he is ready for this fight.

Even with Nery's record of 27 KO, his only loss comes from a KO, and before that, I think he is floored 3x.  So the concern is whether Nery can receive Inoue's power punches without any issue.  I agree that Nery will come to the ring with the aim of being the first one to beat Inoue but the question is whether Inoue allows such a thing to happen.

With the explosive punches of both camps, I think the winner of this fight will be the person who will make a solid connection first knocking out his opponent.

I'm sure Nery could not stand the punches of Inoue, so I'm thinking maybe the startegy of Nery here is to be so aggressive and he has to try to land solid shots first so he'll gain the confident. Nery has 27 KO, so he should consider himself as a KO artist too, and since Inoue isn't that durable, I think Nery have a solid shot if he will dictate the tempo first which honestly hard to do but possible.

There's no backing down for him, he came to Japan to challenge the champion, he should be aggressive and make it an interesing fight. You know, this type of fight gives them an opportunity but at the same time is also too risky for him, but that's boxing and the industry he choose.

Maybe, Tapales tried that strategy as well early on Inoue, but from time to time Inoue will caught him going inside. And so far there are no blue print on how to beat Inoue. It's a combination that you have a good chin because if by chance you took some hit, you can withstand it. And then you have to be very fast and your punches should be crisp like Donaire's left hook and the timing as well. Plus obviously, the element of luck should be in your side to be able to just have that one perfect punch to knockdown or knockout Inoue for good. And Nery's doesn't have that kind of tools in his arsenal and so very difficult to see what strategy will he used to even go full 12 rounds unless he brought his bicycle inside the ring and circle around.

The strategy of Tapales was very simple, it might have been effective if he has power because somehow he was able to hit Inoue with his counter punches, but due to the lack of power, Inoue earn high confidence and he continues to attack Tapales. With great strategy and power, I think Nery will be able to give that to Inoue and make give him trouble, but as you said, there's no blueprint yet as to how to defeat Inoue, so I'd say it's easier said than done.

What is devastating among Inoue's punches are those body punches.  Aside from having a durable chin, Nery should train his body from heavy beating.  We have seen several opponent of Inoue just falling to their knees and can't continue to box anymore.

It would be a gamble if Nery tried to be aggressive in the early rounds, remember both boxers are fresh and it is where the punches pack power the most. So I guess Nery should be flexible and train his quickness in order to land a counter punch or beat Inoue in landing punches faster.

Nery would have a chance to win in this fight if he is able to dictate the round and learn the movement to counter Inoue's strategy while evading those powerful punches.

Nery won't be able to beat the quickness of Inoue. I think the counter punching strategy might work for him if he'll be able to position himself well,  because if he go toe to toe without a clear plan,  that's just a suicide against Inoue who's one of the deadliest puncher in the sport. Nery has power, better than Tapales, maybe he can learn on what Donaire did to Inoue, because if Inoue was younger at that time, he could have already knock Inoue out.

Yes, that is another part of Inoue's skills, that body shot of his, very lethal, that is someone gets hit, you will feel it. And as what we have seen in boxing, body shots are as painful as a punch in the face.

And if Nery is caught off-guard, even if he trains his body, he will go down. He needs to be very fast and take advantage of Inoue's slow start and then build from that. But then again, another sign of a great fighter, he can adjust in the fly, like what he did show us in the Tapales fight.

Nery though has power, and if he hit Inoue early, we will see if it has effect on the Japanese or not. I can't remember what rounds Donaire was able to break Inoue's orbital bone, but it could be a series of blows.

However, it just shows how mentally tough Inoue is, not just his physical attributes, but he has what other great champions has, his mind to continue to fight even he feels that he is injured or not. We've seen fighters quitting in their stool because of injuries, but not Inoue. So we can say that he is a complete fighter that's why it is hard to beat him at this point and hard to see what kind of scheme Nery will have to develop in order to win.

That's one thing about Tapales, he doesn't have that power, but if Nery has some then we will see how Inoue will react if he will be hit early. But as we have seen in his fight since his close encounter with Nonito Donaire, he has improved a lot not just his power, but his speed and quickness in throwing counter like in the Fulton fight. So that's why I said there are still no blue print and it's hard to mold a fighter that can beat the version of Inoue. But in any case, Nery will give his best here, he might fall short though because of Inoue's training and improvement in his last couple of fights beating at least world champions.

I think Inoue just got smarter after his fights fight with Donaire. He respect his opponent more now. I mean, he doesn't just attack rectlessly and think of finishing his opponent early, he starts with calculating the movement of his opponnet and feeling the power, once he felt that he could absorb the punches, that's when he will be more aggressive and will go for a kill. This is Inoue v2, a smarter Inoue that is harder to defeat, the power and speed is still their and maybe improving at the same time but we cannot deny that Inoue had already matured a lot in terms of his boxing styles.

Have you guys seen the video of Inoue sparring against former title challenger Raymart Gaballo? It demonstrates the power, accuracy and speed of Inoue. Although Nery is heavier and more experienced than Gaballo. The video showed Gaballo wearing a head gear and we saw Inoue hurt former champions Stephen Fulton and Marlon Tapales and Nery is no different. But of course I am also interested what Nery can offer. He's like a Japanese assassin when he ended the long reign of former champion and p2p top 10 Shinsuke Yamanaka.

Thanks for the video mate,

Dang, the power of Inoue is really unreal, I agree that even if Gaballo had that head gear to support, still though he felt Inoue's power. What if there are no head gear? The result? Almost 90% KO rate for the Japanese.

Definitely, Nery will show in this fight just like what others did feeling very confident. But once Naoya got into his rhythm I wouldn't be surprised that Nery going down early or another knockout win for the Monster year and then putting his name on top of the pound for pound list.

Inoue is just getting stronger and I'm pretty sure that Nery is aware of that. As long as Nery is confident to face Inoue, we will surely see a an exciting fight, unless the pass opponents of Inoue that when they feel the power of Inoue, they change their style and become more defensive to prevent from getting knockout. That way, if they will do that, that's an easy win for Inoue and people will not be happy with their performance as that would only show they are just fighting to survive.

Every fighter is confident though in facing anyone, that is there job. And we don't know if this is going to be exciting as it could be very quick like the Donaire fight with just a couple of rounds. Specially if that confident says that he can go toe to toe then it will be an easy and fast ending for Nery here.

What he should do is at least have a good plan in the fight, trying to feel Inoue and see if he can outsmart him. And then uses his power from time to time and score points on the judges scorecard. If if he lucky that the fight goes to distance, maybe he can win in the scorecard.

I think scoring points is not enough for him to win. We saw the quickness of Inoue, Nery cannot outplay Inoue if he uses a score and run technique. IMO, Nery should conserve his energy and go for KO, because once he hurt Inoue, there's a chance that he could knockout the champion.

Nery should be confident, he must believe in his power becasue his record speak so, and although it's dangerous to go toe to toe with Inoue, but if it's the only chance for him to beat the monster, I think he should try to gamble.

Looking at their previous fights, Inoue is faster in hand speed and footwork so it will be very difficult for Nery trying to outbox the champion. Inoue got staggered by Donaire which means it might happen again if Nery lands his heavy shots first. Nery should not fight backwards and try to force Inoue to retreat or at least make the fight at the center of the ring. Or maybe Nery is practicing to fight backwards and tries to land his counters on Inoue. But it's too dangerous to fight backwards because that's where Inoue is too dangerous, hunting his prey.

It will be enough as I have said if the fight goes to distance and judges will have to score the fight. But it should be very well convincing round win for Nery as this fight is in Inoue's home backward. I think you contradict your self by saying he should conserved his energy and go for the KO. You can't KO anyone if you are not throwing any power punch and it means their are no conservation of energy.

Again, everyone is confident. Donaire was able to extend the fight in 12 rounds and for me this is the best way for anyone to beat Inoue. It's hard to score a KO in my opinion, maybe the closest blue print we have is how Donaire almost got Inoue in the first fight.

So he can't really do that. If we look at the previous fight of Inoue, Marlon Tapales was able to land some solid shots from his counter punches, but the problem is the power was not there, can't even rocked Inoue, so I'm expecting that if Nery will do the same strategy, Nery should have the power to hurt Inoue, otherwise, he will suffer the same defeat as Tapales, will last a bit but will still be KO in the end. Honestly, I believe it's hard to beat Inoue, so it's a big problem for Nery on how he can upset the best fighter in Japan.

That's obviously true, Tapales is not a hard hitter that's why even if Inoue is hit sometimes, he is still very aggressive in hunting Tapales and knock him down. Actually, Inoue could knock down Tapales in just the first round, but because he doesn't underestimate Tapales, he take it slowly and surely and was just looking for the right timing until he sees an opportunity to KO Tapales.

Nery might be a different animal, but so far, it was only Inoue on their first time that has a decent match of beating Inoue, unfortunately, Donaire got tired in the end and his punches are not anymore as strong as in the early rounds.

Tapales trying to become the aggressor or stay in the center of the ring helped him prolonged the fight especially in the early rounds where Inoue was also avoiding very risky moves as he was figuring out his opponent. Tapales was also landing shots although not enough to hurt Inoue and win more rounds.

One thing is clear though, Tapales was more successful than Fulton who was only there to survive once he tasted the power of Inoue. Donaire also tried to become the aggressor at least stay in the center of the ring in his first fight with Inoue and had some success. So I am guessing Nery is heading that way and avoid fighting backwards.
