This guy is the goods. One of the least padded records I have seen on boxrec. He started boxing and beating experienced fighters from his third fight on

Inoue has status, a wrecker, destroyer. Not only do people like him, they have given him a mission as an avenger. Nery in Vegas would sell huge since Japan is out. Macau?

What a talent.
Inoue the destroyer

I didn´t quite get what Inoue was looking for when he pawed leading hands with Payano for the first minute.. seems that he knew exactly what he was doing, one - two with the jab going under Payano´s right to block vision. Fcuking perfect.

I read online that Inoue used that pawing jab to feint going over Payano's right only to actually go under it. Needless to say, not only did Inoue throw the fundamental 1-2 perfectly, but he did it rather cleverly.

Not sure if Monster is the right nickname for Inouye, he's more of a Predator. As good as his power and technical ability is, his greatest ability seems to be his boxing brain.
Not sure if it's purely down to studying hours of footage of his opponents or if he just get's a quick read on them once the fight starts; but he seems to know exactly where, when, and how to hit in order to get a KO with the absolute minimum of fuss.
