Spoiler...

Totally agree, Inoue is special. Tapales, that guy had heart, he wasn’t giving up no matter what. He even fought back, and inoue really respected him.

@@lesliechan68 yes but stood no chance against The Monster

Tapeles is very tough, and a southpaw. Showed a ton of heart and determination, but started running out of gas at the end. The Monster is just too much

thats ur problem lol, why would you read the comments before watching the fight@@PauloHenrique-rt8fv

Yep!

Yeah crazy power. Won't be surprised if he carries it to 126 as well

​@@jessexiong69I wanna see him vs venado Lopez so bad, it would be a crazy fight

It didn’t break through he actually hit him on the temple

his middle name is D right?

@@SeeHang😂

Tried but loser still

Inoue still not at his peak yet. He himself said in recent interview that he has 30% more room to grow. He will probably be at his prime when he moves up to 130 after clearing out 122 and 126

@@rcsnake1 I'd love to see him at 130 and 135 especially if his power carries up. I just don't know how much size he can put on given his age. He might be very close to as big as he can naturally get while maintaining his level of fitness. Either way I can't wait to see it.

at 135 Monster vs Tank dream match. @@AP-te6mk

Akhmadaliev will smash him

nothing great and fantastic on what tapales showed.

​@@mr.brightside6576look, nobody agreed with you😂, u dummbass😆😆😆

God given punching power. You CAN'T train that. You are born with it 🥊

@@brasstacksboxing409 Nahhh, lies again, if you train hard and take care of your body properly, you will be a beast.

​@@Yiren666 fit and healthy with a lot of endurance yes.. but a "fast twitch" explosive type athlete has to be born with that trait.. hard work is vital of course but genetics play a huge role.. For example, no amount of training can turn a Nate Diaz into a puncher like Inoue period.

@@Yiren666 I feel you. Good points. But, you splitting hairs. There are those that can level their power up, and their are those who step off the couch drooping bombs. I know, I've sparred smaller guys who hit lik super middleweights

absolutely agree. can feel the thuds

He actually leaned back out of the way of a lot of Tapales punches. It took a lot of the power away. Also I feel like Inoue lost respect for Tapales and toyed with him till he finally went for the kill.

@@jordank2028 well, you have to know at Inoue's level it's hard to look for good sparring opponents, so it good to go for few more rounds to gain more experience before going in for the kill

Tank will be the crap of this guy 100%😅

@reycorona2670 I don't think so, his power won't be enough. If Cruz Pitbul put Tank on high notice in their fight what do you think Inoue will do? He will absolutely beat Tank.

Don’t think so all my money on tank … this guy to weak for tank … but any thing can happen… let wish this fight to happen asap😊

@reycorona2670 Ofcourse anything can happen in a fight but the fight won't happen anytime soon. Dude, Tank is at 130 and he highly doubts to fight at 135..Haney for example, but Inoue beats them both. Inoue has that Pacquiao in him, power, speed, IQ..a great body shot, even a better body shot. Dude Tank is not even a champion! Dude is almost 30 and has fought no one yet.

Don’t think so .. even devin will be the crap of this guy… this guy has no power at all he’s just fast that’s it😊

Who?

@@AraujoShowtime His name is Kazuki Anaguchi. He had been in a coma after his match on the same day. He had been treated in a hospital, but sadly he passed away on Feb 2.

手袋はめているんで、全然普通です

@@MarcelGomez-pi2lm普通ってなに？笑　ボクサーがダウンしてる試合を見た事ないの？笑

It was the punch that before that did the real damage.

It literally hit the top of his head

nah he was just fighting to survive

​@@mr.brightside6576if he just wants to survive he should be keep running, instead of getting toe to toe exchanging punches against the monster

if what you are saying is true then he wouldnt get knocked out

@@mr.brightside6576 Was thinking the same...The word 'superb should not have been used...The correct word or wording should've been ' Good ' or ' pretty good '.. or ..' pretty decent ' lol

@@pallen49 true....

Lol I'm curious, what moment are you referring to? Like what round did you think tapalez would win or had a chance to win or that inoue would/could lose? From what I saw of the highlights, there didn't seem to be any moment where I was worried for inoue. After the first 2-3 rounds I knew tapalez didn't have the power or ability to KO inoeu. And I knew from the start that Tapalez wasn't going to out box inoeu and win a decision. So yeah. Zero chance for me. Even if tapalez looked like he landed some thudding shots, inoeu didn't really show any real pain or damage. The loud thuds from some tapalez punches was probably due to it hitting the gloves or was more of a slap punch to defended part of the body compared to inoeus punches that land with great accuracy/power and does the damage that everyone expects from the monster by now, whether it's body shot or headshot, or even arm shots where he punches your guard and it still rocks them or makes their guard open up and provide an open line to their head after which the next punch or two from inoue finishes them off.

​@@ex0duzz It wasn't that there was a specific moment where I thought he was going to lose, it was Tapalez strategy as a whole. As far as I'm aware, no one is going to outbox Inoue. So although the commentators say "you can't just stay in front of him" that's exactly the one thing you can do against the Monster. Stand your ground with a solid defense and strike with accuracy enough to hit and power enough to force Inoue to respect him. The vast majority of fighters would get too anxious and get their asses countered, or stay too timid and become a punching bag for multiple rounds. There are two ways I can imagine the Monster losing. The first is against someone who can outdog him, trade shots, attack fast and be too tough for Inoue's power to break down even in a counter. I can't think of anyone in the nearby weight classes that can do that. The second scenario was exactly what Tapalez was doing. No. Tapalez's thuds weren't just from the slapping gloves, otherwise Inoue would have demolished him really early. The fight took as long as it did because Inoue would've just trampled any boxer that didn't have enough firepower to force him to pick his shots. He's done it before. It wasn't the thuds that tipped me off. It started by the fact that Inoue was getting hit more often than I've ever seen. Meanwhile, Tapalez was not only accurately blocking Inoue's shots but also dodging him, pressuring him against the ropes, not falling for easy baits. Yes, granted, Inoue was on top pretty much 100% of the fight, but this WAS a fight. Ever since his first bout with Donaire, Inoue had become a different beast and once he demolished Donaire in their second fight, I couldn't fathom him losing against anyone. To me, all the other fights he since then didn't feel like "fights", but public executions. Not this one, though. This felt like a real duel.

would love to see inoue at the welterweights!

@@redguy2215guys at welterweight are way too big, they weigh in like 160 lbs on fight night easy, inoue weighs like 135 lbs rn fighting at 122.

@@PartyCrasher04 he's still young, he could still gain some weight. Pacquiao is lighter too while fighting at welterweight

@@redguy2215 pacquiao was already fighting at welterweight or maybe 140 when he was 30 years old. Inoue has already said he doesn’t plan on moving up that drastically, if we’re lucky we’ll see him fight at 130-135 MAX, if we’re lucky… either way one he’s one of my favorite boxers ever

@@PartyCrasher04 yeah 130-135 would be great!

Он проиграл нокаутом а МЖ был бой спорным

​@@user-fn4lu7kx5e common tapales will beat mj in more decisive decision after this match😅😅😅

@@degualbosav9754 что смешного Тапалес проиграл нокаутом не так ли посмотрим может МЖ тоже будет нокаутирован а самом деле МЖ тоже хоршый боксер как Тапалес они оба хорошы удачи обеим дальнейшего.⏰

That’s what happen when you can only fight in your own country and inject what ever he can lol😂

​@marv6455 another dumb asss comment... you really think japan is corrupt like USA, that saying like floyd never fighting outside of the US .. from casual.. inoue fought few times in the US

​@marv6455 wut u mean he fought in America 3 times and is clean.

Tapales to Tamales. Snacks for Inoue.

@@marv6455 you sound like a fulton fanboy! 😂

He was quite competitive at times not many people have pushed inoue as far

He ran lol

@@_Elon.Musk_ he wasnt in that much danger of actually winning but he didnt get chinned in 3 is all i meant

​@@_Elon.Musk_ u must be talking about the fulton fight or either ur blind. the video is literally right here u can see tapales standing and exchanging in front of inoue most of the time

@@troxi69666 yeah he fought well

No where near mayweather. He just got his ass beat.

@@ELVENEVN his running from his opponent is a Maywhether style.

agreed with you at first but didn’t 💀 mayweather actually threw punches on the backfoot 🤷 you don’t know boxing if you think brawling is all that matters

​@@ujayet 😂 tapales tried to fight like Mayweather since when do Mexicans use the Philly shell?

@@jerrygraves6531 never said Tapalas fight like gaywheater where you get that from?

Idk where u got that info but tapales had 3 losses already

​@@tarzan2441ya Marlon wasn't undefeated but beat someone who was undefeated to win his belts.

Tapales was not undefeated, my guy. lol where do you get your boxing info?

Fulton ducked/sneaked/covered/running around to last 8 rounds. Tapales stood in front of Inoue ad traded for 10 rounds. Tamales could knock out Fulton too.

I agree

Actually it’s nothing to do with real competition or not as he already the champion across four different weight/class from 108 to 122 pounds. To be honest it’s only his own challenge himself to other weight/class level ! It is not about the abilities it’s all about size/weight that something you can’t control or to be ! There are limitations of human body/size. Simply he never can be even middleweight class, just like Mike Tyson never can compete in middle weight class. Anyway Inoue already a legend in boxing history

Lol..so nothing he accomplished means nothing to You until he moves up to 126? Like nothing? 😂that's like saying you just able to afford a nice home in a good neighborhood but your family/ friends say hey your neighbors have a better looking house than yours but meanwhile your hater is still in the projects?😂

@@librasign5062 idt that's what he meant. Think he means no one will give inoue trouble until 126 as it has looked easy so far to inoue

🇺🇿🇺🇿🇺🇿💪💪💪

Tapala in this battle was gaining weight to 63 and challenging the battle.
