[Boxing] Inoue vs Goodman December 24th

[freedomgo]

That's what some other boxing analyst says.
But they are also saying Casimiro is risky and they are not going to risk Inoue for Casimero to rise because Casimero is only known in the Philipines Islands whereas Inoue is gaining popularity in the US. They do have plans for Inoue to one day fight his biggest payday in US.

Casimero isn’t just popular in the Philippines, but he’s also well-known internationally as a fearless warrior who’s willing to fight anywhere and beat most of his opponents. Remember Tete? He was considered one of the most popular fighters in the bantamweight division, but Casimero defeated him in his own country.

That just shows how dangerous Casimero really is. So, with that in mind, do you think Inoue is afraid to fight him?

Why is this Inoue vs Goodman not yet in many crypto casinos? Obviously, Inoue is going to be the favorite, I'm curious how much to profit for Inoue by KO.

Fights that aren't popular are not listed early, that's the obvious reason.

Bad news for boxing fans, this fight is officially off as Sam Goodman suffers a cut over his left eye in his last days of sparring.

So definitely this fight is not going to happen on the scheduled date. So not sure how Inoue will take this one as he said that next year he will be fighting in the US and going up in the next division.

Either they will have to find a replacement for Sam Goodman, or Inoue totally not fighting in December 24.

Sam Goodman has suffered a cut in training, and the fight with Inoue is off for now. The event page on BoxRec says that the fight is now scheduled for January 24, 2025. The injury does not look too bad from the picture that was posted on social media, but it is uncertain if Goodman can recover in such a short amount of time. It might be time for Inoue to move on to another deserving opponent, but with how strict the IBF is about enforcing mandatories, he will just have to wait on Goodman, even though this was not the most intriguing fight.

If they go as plan, then there will be no Sam Goodman. Inoue will go to Featherweight next year. Or since they have save that date in Japan, maybe find another fighter for Inoue that is ready in just 10 days but it's going to be impossible. From the images posted, it seems that the cut is really deep and for sure by now it has been close and stitch already by some doctors in Australia, but there's not enough time for that kind of cut to be healed. I know, it's f**k Inoue's schedule but I guess this is this kind of freak accident that happens in boxing and that no one wanted this to happen but Inoue will have to go and move on next year in the US.

Yes, some gambling sites put that date too on this fight. Maybe that's what the push date will be temporarily agreed by both parties that's why it was updated like that. I read that there is a Japanese in the undercard and it's possible that he will be the replacement, but there's no official word yet. But what are chances that it will be Nakatani?

As for Sam, I do not think that Inoue will wait for him. He had his chance, unfortunately, he had this accident and so Inoue will move on without him. Inoue will not waste his time as he had better plans in 2025.

Inoue isn’t in a rush to move up, so I think waiting another month won’t be an issue. We’re in the holiday season, so the postponement might even give him a chance to enjoy the festivities. Regardless, the outcome isn’t likely to change. Inoue will still dominate this fight and likely score a KO.

Awwww.
We saw some replacement on the very last minute of matches and maybe that might happen for Goodman on this match.
But I don't think that the Inoue side will agree onto that term when they have prepared for nothing but Goodman only.
It's going to be out of the strategy that they have planned for if the opponent will be replaced by another fighter. There's not that much enough time for them to prepare so, the schedule might just be moved then by a month or two.

This is quite unfortunate, we all look forward to this fight and in the days that are near Goodman suffered an injury that had to be canceled and reportedly there is new schedule for their meeting, but who knows if there will be an agreement to have new schedule or Inoue will fight another boxer who will replace Goodman.
If Inoue gets replacement challenger then it is clear that it may not be fighter who will be able to have balanced fight, in this division Inoue is still the best and there are not many fighters who can match him.

Sometimes replacement boxer are the most dangerous opponent, as obviously, Inoue trains to have Sam Goodman as his opponent, so they tailor made his style against him. It reminds of Pacquiao vs Errol Spence, wherein Errol was replaced by Ugas in the last minute and so Manny's lost that fight. No excuses though, but he was not ready for the style that Ugas, and most likely that's one factor that lead to him taking a big upset lost that time.

Let's see if they can find a replacement fighter. If I'm not mistaken, in UFC there is this thing like a back up fighter so in case that someone might got hurt or not able to fight, they can easily bring that fighter as a late replacement.

[Baofeng]

Even the name of Akhmadaliev, who solidifies his position with a 3rd round knockout of Ricardo Espinoza in the third round.

But Inoue's response is very clear,



https://x.com/naoyainoue_410/status/1868148123572568528

So I guess Inoue another option is to wait and fight Sam Goodman on January 24th next year.

I don't think it will be fully healed before the scheduled date, which is January 25. You have to be 100% healthy with no prior injury if you're going to meet Inoue. Inoue loves to target weak spots, and that cut will be targeted to open up.
Goodman should ask for an extension or just ask Inoue's camp to look for a replacement; I don't think there will be a taker; no boxer with short preparation can withstand Inoue's attack; if there is, he is just there for the money.

They’ve set the date, which means they’re confident they’ll be 100% ready by then. If Goodman ends up asking for a replacement, I’m sure plenty of boxers would jump at the opportunity to fight, even with short preparation. After all, it’s a title shot, and everyone below Inoue is eager for that one big chance to become a champion. Not to mention, the purse for such a fight in Japan would be significant, making it an even more attractive opportunity.

Well, that fight of Pacquiao did really made him lose that match with the final minute replacement but yeah, no excuses and he accepted the defeat.

So with that tweet of Inoue, it seems that he'll wait until next month which is what I am expecting from him. He's got the condition to accept or decline any offer from the other camp or might just wait for the better.

The purse split alone will be a very good motivation for them to fight Inoue. Even if we say, they are underdog on this match. Still, it will be a good opportunity for them to face him as there is not much pressure as people are confident that Inoue will emerge as victorious on this match. Would be very interesting if they can go the distance and have a toe-to-toe fight with Inoue. Usually, those who will fight the superstar is also testing the waters. If he has the power to stop him or not. So for the challenger, this is a very good avenue to know the skills and strengths of the top contender and see where he can take advantage the next time around, that is, if he has plans for a re-match in the future or at least know where he stand on this kind of fighter the likes of Inoue.

For sure Goodman will not ask for a replacement, he had his injuries and that is a freak accident. And Inoue has total control of this fight, as he can look for a replacement or not go with the schedule fight as his opponent is injured.

Yes, there could be boxers that will take this in short notice, and take that opportunity. But still up to Inoue to decide. If he insists to go on January 24 or wait for Sam Goodman, then that is good.

But if he does, then I think Inoue should fight a better opponent, and that would be Akhmadaliev. He recently won his fight against Ricardo Espinoza Franco, and this fighter has been vocal about wanting to face Inoue. IIRC, Akhmadaliev was skipped because Inoue chose to fight TJ Doheny, an older boxer whose ranking wasn’t even higher than Akhmadaliev’s, and we all witnessed it was an easy one for Inoue.

We've seen Inoue's answer on MJ, and it looks like Inoue is not interested on him. Inoue mentions that he was beaten by Tapales already in which Inoue beat by a knockout. And as what we have seen, crypto base casinos have change the date to January 24 so it seems that this fight is still going to happen but with a new date in the horizon.

Yes, Akhmadaliev won against Espinoza, but Inoue is still not that impressed the way we see it.

Inoue is the A-side and most likely that's what they have agreed for now, just move the fight to a new date and not get a replacement.

I saw that tweet, but honestly, Inoue shouldn’t have responded that way. He should respect a boxer who wants to challenge him. Besides, what’s the point of staying in a division where he’s already become undisputed, only to refuse challenges?

Why not fight Casimero instead? Sure, his ranking might not be great, but he’s a fighter who hasn’t been beaten by anyone in the current division. It would definitely be an exciting matchup.

Casimero is 2nd in this ranking

But seriously, is Goodman even an A side fighter too?

Casimero is 2nd in this ranking

Casimero might decline the offer as a substitute for Sam Goodman as the time to prepare is not enough, two weeks notice is just too short for Casimero since we all know that he struggle to make the 122 weight limit of this division. They might postpone this fight to early next year, maybe Jan as what some users here speculate.

This would very much be Casimero's most biggest mistake! He does not have big opportunities with his small Japanese promoter. Casimero can negotiate a larger offer than his last fight to have this event move forward or no one will have revenues if this is cancelled. Also, Casimero will be one of the biggest names that will very much be cheered by the Japanese fans for his bravery. However, this should be on catchweight without risk of Inuoe's championships. This will be a good fight for Casimero if this is on catchweight. We might witness something similar to Inoue vs. Donaire 1 hehehehehe.
