Inoue for me is one of the most exciting fighters to watch…always appreciate your videos breaking down the adjustments and the do’s and don’t in boxing…
The first round Inoue threw the fundamentals out the window just to please the massive crowd who wanted him to knock out Nery fast knowing the history of Nery and Japan, my Japanese mate was at the fight and said inoues dad was laughing at Inoue when he was coming back to the stool after the knock down. I dare say the whole team knew what he was trying to do, and by the way Inoue went back to his normal self straight away shows he didn't give a shit about what was going to happen it was just to get that huge crowd on their feet.
Not really, he got caught trying to swing his right but he was off position, leg entangled and awkward to recover. Nery took the chance and swung and it was a good shot. You could see Inoue knew his mistake and swung away when the punch connected and allowed the punch to go through while he also spun his body to avoid head concussion.
Nicely structured, easy to follow Always harder to follow without video due to copyright but here there is enough screenshot to show the action you are describing so it’s ok Ty
I really appreciate how strategic and technical boxing can be. To many people it just looks like two people punching each other but there's so many things going on that they're not seeing.
Yup he saw that shot coming n rolled with it with his right hook so it looked like he spun hard but it was just his own momentum, but it will still a solid hit tho
I don't think anyone to emulate what he does the average boxer would get killed so I'm glad you pointed this out. He makes it work but it's his reflexes and practicing that endlessly as to why it appears natural
Anyone can emulate it’s a Shokotan karate stance and also the pendelum is one of the basics of boxing he’s fundelmentally perfect basics join a karate a gym you will be tought how to fight like a Japanese boxer even includes kicks
@@momoghost he breaks shoto fundamentals too though. it's not to say he hast mastered fundamentals, because he has. there's a saying that you have to master fundamentals first so you can break them successfully. thats what inoue does. but ofc athleticism, natural reflexes and quickness also play a part in the breaking.
Boxers like Riggo, Inoue, Hamed, Jones Jr. younger Ali, they all did things you're not supposed to do fundamentally. That's part of the fun to watch them continuously get away with it
ya. it's bad ali and RJJ fought too long to the point where they couldnt get away with it anymore so they took damage they shouldnt have taken, especially ali
I was waiting for this for so long! Thanks film study GOAT! What I learned is that Inoue won thanks to having a better lead hand game than Nery! I always ask myself what made Inoue recapture the control of the fight and now I know why. Also that end sequence (8:03) of Inoue messing up his timing to play bullet chess with Nery is so cool! Hajime no ippo type of beat (Volg vs Mike). Probably the same situation Smash players are in a regular basis.
Asians are one of the smaller people on earth. They don’t have natural big frames. Inoue is only 5’5” and slim. He’s already moved up, fought and champion in multiple divisions. He will do what is best for him, not for a bunch of haters. They tried to push the narrative that he’s not good until he fights Tank and he has to prove in the US. Combat sports has multiple divisions for a reason. Why nobody tell Tank to move up and fight Bud Crawford or Bivol? Inoue can only fight the best fighters in his divisions and done that. In terms of fighting in the US. The Americans don’t support and promote the lower weight divisions like Japan. That’s why many fighters have to travel outside of USA to get paid. No one want to get into combat sports and fight without compensation.
That's right, Champs like Fulton came to Japan because they couldn't make money in America. Even Donaire said that, small weights have more fight money in Japan than in America.
There are plenty of big people in Asia. In China, Korea, Mongolia, and central Asia, many people are over 6 feet tall and are very robust and thick. I would say your description is more accurate about Vietnamese people in general. Japanese height increased after the 1950's because the food supply finally became more than adequate to nourish the population beyond its most bsdic needs. The bigger athletes in Japan gravitate towards baseball or judo.
I just was shocked to see him give away the foot and hand Positioning / dominance fight ... He seems so sure of himself (speed and power) to ignore tactics. ...I just was infuriated ! But got a nice rewarding display after the knockdown.
Yeah he's wild and sometimes unpredictable but that's what makes him good. He's a 2 time world champ with a record of 32 wins and only lost to Figueroa and now Inoue. He's going to be a top contender at 126, so they potentially could have a rematch.
i think nery doesnt posses the speed and timing to land anything significant to inoue aside from round 1 kd thats it.. i think inoue needs to climb to 126 bcoz he'll just demolish any 122 top challengers (no disrespect to any 122 boxers though)
Entertaining and informative. I was wondering what all the lead hand play was all about in the second round. When I first saw it I thought it was some sort of mind game (which it kind of is) but hearing about its purpose here is great.
depends on the southpaw. if theyre a righty that converted to southpaw stance you should do the opposite, coz their strong hand is really their lead (right) hand. juan manuel lopez was an example. sometimes people forgot that his power punch is really his right hook and ended up moving to it xD
@@alyonachan Even in that situation you know to expect the right hook. For sure, you can't do that for eternity, but it's a useful tool to take the control from them.
@@DareBizarre again it depends. different movement is needed for different types of southpaw (or righty if converted lefty like cotto was). coz converted lefties dont go with standard lefty 1-2. but lead with left then move and turn with right hook. doing a standard approach for lefties would get you hurt vs. a converted one.
Nice breakdown. But for me Inoue was always wining by knockout. Coz he has all the weapons in his arsenal,good athletic body,knows and maintance distance,reflex are tremendous,power on both hands,eyesight and focus spot on,timing in between opponent punches is great,closing distance at right time,punch selection superb,changes rhythm,changes style as par the style of opponent,extreme confident and above all willing to kill and win. Neri s lacking in all the departments except power on his left hook or say left hand.He knocked Inoue in 1st round coz Inoue didnot expected this or may be he was focused only on attack or may be overconfidence. You can win some but not many on just one weapon. Inoue to me is greatest so far compare to oldies or the current boxes.
What a 🤡 all the greats in the past got dropped before and and some got knockout, i guess they are bum too😂inoue destroying top fighters champions and HOF’s , you call a two div champion with a record of 35-1 with 27Ko better than tank a bum? You’ve been everywhere on inoue video just exposing yourself like a dumbazz😂
No one can stop the monster no matter how strong they are, it’s going to take a special person to beat him, So far I haven’t seen no one yet, pfp goat!
That sht didn’t even hurt him, after that monster was toying around with his prey and dropped him 3x all from “short” punches and send him to see Jesus for sec, his head was dangling trying to hang on to his head😂 that will be anyone who step in the ring with the monster, pfp Goat
Ali got exposed, floyd got exposed, Roy jone got exposed, duran got exposed, sugar rays got exposed, Joe Louis got exposed, Oscar got exposed, manny got exposed, hearne got exposed, marquez got exposed, cotto got exposed, Mike got exposed, foreman got exposed, frazier got exposed etc most of the greats got exposed, and most importantly you got exposed😂
It’s fun to watch Inoue learn from his mistakes and adapt in real time. Great mix of training and skill. He’s a real problem.

How true is this? 😅
@@mountainman077 Inoue and his brother both got knocked down in round 1 then won. If it was anyone else I wouldn't believe it.
@@utkarsh2746 do you think its deliberate?
Not really, he got caught trying to swing his right but he was off position, leg entangled and awkward to recover. Nery took the chance and swung and it was a good shot.

@@mountainman077 Maybe they were both hyping each other up in the back and both got a wake up call in the first.
Inoue (27-0)
Opponents win/loss records (692-76)
-
Tank (29-0)
Opponents win/loss records (489-135)
-
Bud (40-0)
Opponents win/loss records (689-227)
Thanks for the breakdown
Also Inoue is active fighter, compared to the others
crazy stats.
Not to mention, a shit load of Naoya's opps have been champions since like what 5th or 6th fight or so? Always an inspiring fighter to witness.
Nicely structured, easy to follow

Always amazed how the elite boxers after 2-3 rounds they have their opponent figured out and just dominate. Fight IQ
I really appreciate how strategic and technical boxing can be. To many people it just looks like two people punching each other but there's so many things going on that they're not seeing.
Inoue is a straight killer in the ring he literally wants to end his opponents with deadly set up and counters
Yup he saw that shot coming n rolled with it with his right hook so it looked like he spun hard but it was just his own momentum, but it will still a solid hit tho
Awesome breakdown. Good s**t, i love it

I can't imagine being Nery or his corner. Inoue literally took him to different depths of hell, where there was only 1 conclusion.
Best channel i discovered !
WOW. Great analysis. Thanks for helping me understand the fight better. Truly enlightening.
Good analysis, there's so many things happening so fast we don't notice it unless it's slowed down.
Inoue is a boxing manga come to life. When you have power like that, you don't have to just brawl, you can set up traps.
It did not get taken down and for that I'm grateful

Well said man!!!😊
That’s why Mexico and Mexican Americans offer great opponents to Japanese fighters. Bam could be a challenging matchup in the future for Inoue.

Great insight

Gracias, excelente análisis y contenido siempre 👌🤟
Finally ❤
Nice vid.
The sound of that KO punch was preposterous
That was some sweet science.
Nery ain’t bad. He’s pretty damn good himself

Nice ❤️🔥💪🏽
Monster Inoue p4p No1 The Best of The Best fighter in the world 🌍 today second Crawford well done ✅👍✅👍✅👍✅👍✅👍
Inoue had more 10-8 rounds than 9-10 rounds. Really crazy stat.
Easy move to regulate the southpaw is to do half steps + jabs on the outside, clockwise. That way you are limiting them to front hook.
depends on the southpaw. if theyre a righty that converted to southpaw stance you should do the opposite, coz their strong hand is really their lead (right) hand. juan manuel lopez was an example. sometimes people forgot that his power punch is really his right hook and ended up moving to it xD

The easy way to beat left handers/south poll is using straight punch
Yes
Correction nery hit with a left hook
Inoue has been fighting Southpaws of the last 3 fights
Nice breakdown.

I’m big fan of Inoue. I was so shocked at his down for the first time. I hope it was just an accident. Yeah I know it was….
that first knockdown, what if someone had more ko power? should we worry about Inoue’s defense?
i always knew inoue was a HYPE JOB🤣 he got dropped by a BUM and he had em FACE DOWN AZZ UP like he was practicing for P DIDDY👺🍑👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Kinda like how deontay got clapped by a fat ass, dropped still crying to this day

I think inuoe was just trying to KO him in rd1 and paid for it lol. After that he said ok whatever I'm gonna KO him anyway I'm gonna do what I do
😏
Sory to say 😂.. Nery not a level... Please bring more powerful other fighter to fight inoue.. Huhu
No one can stop the monster no matter how strong they are, it’s going to take a special person to beat him, So far I haven’t seen no one yet, pfp goat!
