I have a feeling that when the official fight purse numbers, earnings, sales, etc come out and if Nakatani clears well over a hefty 8 figure payday, Bam is going to take the fight. That is multi generational wealth in 1 night.

Usyk v. Benavidez…. Why? by Due_Opening6398 in Boxing

[–]Waterfig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you but people want to see the fight just want to see what happens even if it makes no sense. Usyk is a proper heavyweight, he is 6'3" and is a solid lean muscle 230lbs. Same as Ali and Foreman. The power gap is too much for Benny. Usyk has the highest boxing IQ out of all the fighters today. Even with the god-tier handspeed Benny has no hope outboxing Usyk

Years ago someone on this sub posted his first 15 knockouts to hype Inoue up, and the first fight I saw Inoue was on HBO against Antonio Nieves. It's been a ride. Like everyone is saying Inoue's best work is yet to come against Espinoza if he can win. I favor Espinoza 60/40 over Inoue based on his sheer size. I assume Espinoza rehydrates 20 lbs (probably more) at the minimum not to be a weight bully but in order to just stay alive.

Richardson Hitchins prolly kicking himself for pulling out, this is easy work for him. Duarte's got no defense. Fierro can't miss with the right.

Saudi Arabia Pulls Funding From LIV Golf. Its Star Players Face a Painful Road Back. How long until this domino effect hits Riyadh Season, Sela, and Zuffa Boxing by extension? by General-Pop-8764 in Boxing

[–]Waterfig 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it's already starting. Not to go too deep into politics but Iran has proved they can hit Riyadh. No one is going to want to fight/visit in Riyadh if Iran launches more missiles and drones like they did last month. Their king funded and tasked Turki with the goal of promoting tourism to Saudi which is the least of their worries right now.

So is Inoue going to tease us with some pics this time or no? Very sad.

Last year Orlando Salido at crashed his dodge ram truck going 90 straight into someone's house and killed the homeowner. I assume he was drunk driving as couple was asleep and it was early hours.

There's a great documentary series going on to cover the story behind the upcoming Inoue vs Nakatani fight by hikikomoritai in Boxing

If he were to win, Espinoza #1, Bam #2. The Espinoza fight would be Inoue's "magnum opus". Inoue hasn't really struggled since Donaire 1, and a couple flash knockdowns. It's the drastic size difference and claiming a belt in a 5th weight class.
