The only person more famous than Inoue in Japan is Shohei Ohtani. Both are goated world wide. And he hardly cares about western recognition. Inoue: “To the comment that I should come to the US and compete: The home of the lightweight division is now here in Japan. If you want to see fights, come to Japan. If there is something in the U.S. that is better than the Japanese market, I will gladly go. It is worth it here in Japan.”

@@eratosthenes8004hes right, most Americans fans Ive met online don’t give a damn about the divisions below 130 unfortunately. Only Asia and South America which makes sense since we’re small.

Fuck off hes far from underrated, In Boxing pundit videos there are so many people like you screaming for him. Inoue is not underrated matter of fact hes overrated barely anyone hes fought are household names let alone anywhere near the top of the sport. I believe only Donnaire comes to mind idk.

Inoue is well known in Asia, comparable to Godzilla. If Inoue goes to Anerica and fight, he would be applying for food stamps, why, he makes millions where he is.

😂😂 Pitbull Cruz

Especially crazy when you consider 99% of the modern era's entertainment is from youtube, not cable or other such overpriced networks.

its vids like this that have made me a fan. ive learned tons. makes me wanna learn how to box.

Such a good point :)

Yeah, I never understand promoters and boxing companies that keep prohibiting older footage they could no longer sell (for lump sum's... such as initial or secondary PPV fights of major athletes, during and for a brief set of weeks or so after the fights; but once a few weeks or months have gone by, NOBODY is sitting around salivating for the release of any event, no matter how big)... They don't seem to understand you MUST promote your sport, to as many people as possible, in as many different ways as possible, because audiences have endless sports & entertainment to choose from; if you keep restricting your material, why would large people/audiences sit around until you do release them, 5, or 30 years later, when, again, they could easily develop tastes for other sports and entertainment?

I agree. They need to see how beneficial this stuff can be when done well. KZfaq needs to improve their system. Their copyright system. How they convey & implement stuff (give creators the ability to remove segments of their videos without YT fully taking it down over :20 seconds of some stupid footage that's usually covered by fair use yet they remove entire projects over nonsense!) It shouldn't be like this. If YT could support informative content, even if it covers difficult topics. I feel like YT would have zero competition. Fair use should cover quality made, informative, narrated highly custom edited content. That literally what fair use covers. Yet YT acts like it can Fully take down a 1hr 30min documentary due to a 10 second clip!? YT needs to realize they would be NOTHING without creators like you making quality content like this.. Yet they decide they want to run things like they expect everything to be kids content, or like it's okay their copyright system is outta control to the point it's not following fair use. I don't understand how KZfaq doesn't see the huge fan base around content for grown ups? If they supported things a bit better, they would have so much more success. Hopefully they wake up to this someday. They act like sponsors wouldn't support KZfaq if KZfaq allowed quality content covering difficult topics? They need to support content like this. It's fully covered under fair use yet copyright claims get abused like crazy as well as demonetized content even tho KZfaq still runs ads on those videos so it's just KZfaq taking all the $ and acting like they can't support the creators who are the sole reason why their platform has value and popularity in the first place! If KZfaq was smart and supported quality content for adults and not just children, they could genuinely be an unstoppable platform. That no other platform would even come close to competing with them. Yet they stand their ground. Their very uptight ridiculous ground lol

And the solar plexus shots , I would rather be KOd than suffer a solar plexus or kidney shot , one completely takes your breath away the other just shuts you down through pain , at least with a ko you are out without knowing it.

Those shots snaps with bad intentions. His setups are a thing of beauty

I don't like boxing since I don't like to see men hurt each other, but, how terrible is a liver shot?

​@@Saint-bz9hsall of your blood passes trough your liver

@@Saint-bz9hs imagine breathing normally. but as soon as a little bit of air goes into your nose, you feel a spear going through your left side of your mid body/liver area, causing a piercing pain that is making you not want to continue that breath. best way i can explain. so youre like trying to breathe but you cant but you need to but you just bloody cant along side the piercing pain.

Over exaggerated af shut up dude

NAOYA. !!!

@@domingoliao2724 quality comment.

and the award for the best comment goes toooo...

He adjusts as needed too. Greatest boxer of his generation.

Looks like a mix of that and proper technique that's been drilled in him from an early age.

Our QUADRO ALAS MUST PREPARE HARD FOR HIS FIGHT COZ I FEEL ALAS MIGHT BE IN BIG SUPRISE IF HIS LIFE ..TRAIN ALAS PLS MUST BE SERIOUS TRAINING PLS....?

I rate him 50

Takes the decision, but a bit of a beating in the first fight...trains and studies Nonito's ways HARD....KOs him INSIDE TWO in the rematch!...TOTAL CLASS!!!

@@Anglovox appreciate the way you mention a bit ! It was a banger both showed heart ching whatever the world boxing fans wants and could ever ask for those fights will forever be remembered 😌🔥

HAHAHAHAH CASIMERO ?????? THEY WILL FIGHT IN 2021 and chooses the weak moloney. HE said in twitter before he doesnt want the undisputed title but when casimero loses his belt due to weight problems he immediately fight The UK Garbage boy . wtf not ducking fight ?

​@@graydavis9439 ask Casemiro to get a single belt first before asking him to fight against Inoue. No belt, not a champ. Inoue take it one step at a time. He knows being arrogant can make him fall. That's how Casemiro lost his belt.

@@graydavis9439 casimero has loses with those people ho has already lost more than total 15 + fights what you talking about he doesn't deserve ☺️🤭

Some people are just like that and can't fathom that someone they don't want to recognize that he's the best in the world right now. I'm always like who do you guys even are when you have legends of the sport praising him and saying only positive and good things about him. There will always be these people no matter what he will do.

@@augustinyeovanmengomeobame9652 True. But the more he puts opponents to sleep the less such people will appear

I was surprised to hear that american's madia say Inoue are fighting only weak and unknown boxers, although he is fighting with champions, at least top level boxers. They really don't know it?? I can understand why some people look down on him, because their madia is like that.

Joe Vincent has one but not updated. Very good anyway.

Look how small and little his gloves are I would knock everybody out too with those little ass gloves on

​@@EkoInstinctcame here to say that.

@@badger297😊😊😊

It's Mongster

He also said the Donaire1 was the most "fun" fight he ever had.

Yeah, you can tell a lot of his opponents are reacting like they have never been hit so hard. The Monster hits like a much lighter Shavers.

What's annoying is the boxing world don't give him the billing he deserves, these days more than ever cards are made for casual fans who want to only see a big guy get knocked out , whereas this pure boxing deserves to be top billing. Maybe if they gave them a chance they might find people will watch.

He needs to go to USA and fight most of his fight there to reach more international viewers.. it’s a waste, he is definitely a great fighter

@@robertvelasco2482ラスベガスで過去に2回やってる。アメリカでは軽量級の選手には大きな箱が与えられないから井上も冷遇された。日本で試合をする方が何倍も大きな興行になる。ネットで世界中の試合を見られる現在においてアメリカで試合を行う意味はない。

@@abkircz107 Great point he makes more money in Japan and he even gave Fulton the payday of his career. If they were in America they wouldn't have made half the money.

@@robertvelasco2482 It isn't a waste when he gets paid more in Japan. He would only get recognition in America if he fights fighters like shakur and tank who would happily dodge him.

Maybe let that feeling guide you

same

May Allah bless your child

-Abso-f******-lutely

I loved the fact he took a year of when he had taken damage in the fight where his eyebrow got cut. Giving his brain and body time te recover, probably gave his chin some time to strengthen back up. Could be big when you go for a lengthy career.

He needed it. He’d fought 10 rounds with a fractured eye socket.

骨折しながら闘った事に驚かされます。

indeed, I never get tired of watching Inoue box.

P4P in a fight Inoue beats Floyd

Lol

Please don’t mention that chicken shit name, that rhymes with roid!! He’s not a boxer!!!

LOL, everybody have weaknesses, its just a matter of time before someone finds a hole in Inoues fighting style. Hes a great fighter, no doubt about that, but not invincible. Anyway, time will tell.

@@wolfdog5981 He has no weakness, Inoue is the toughest man on the planet.

Still overshadow by the big G

What about noriyuki Haga

ong bro he knew how the tactics works its crazy ass shit

Donier has 2 hand power puncher left or right goo with ko. But this man has stronger chin

Yeah, that is the scariest trait for sure. When 💩hit the fan, the guy can just bite down on his mouth piece and let it go. Something a lot of great fighters can't do.

Definitely showed in Donaire’s 1st fight

Not anymore vs. Luis Nery

hotdog as u wish beat old past prime donaire

Well said, excellent channel, soooooooo much fight footage!

His legwork is among the very best.

thank you

Manny would have been destroyed by the Japanese easily. Phi - Jap 0:3.

Power is definitely a 10 for his weight class

@@shhhh4637 he doesn't 1 hit ko almost everything, so yeah. not a 10. Not many boxers with a 10. Mike Tyson, George Foreman, Deontay Wilder, Klitzchko (or however u spell it), Earnie Shavers...

90% knockout rate. at least power 9

@@johanns7302 knockout rate is not the same as power. If you are an accurate boxer, you will eventually wear your opponent down. I still can't give him more than an 8. He isn't a 1-hit KOer.

@@calripplebear1293 90% ko-rate in bantam is just pure power. You rarely see KOs in that weight class but Naoya just demolishes. Look at his opponents giving up due to body damage. Hear that sound his punches do. That’s a straight 9.

In the audience footage of his fights, you can hear those shots from up in the stands

Thanks Alec!

The Japanese have historically been great boxers Since the days of the legendary fighting harada

boxing is a sport, not a martial art, but yes I understand what you mean, he is impressive

@@zura17 Bruh what? Its both a sport and a martial art

That fight 100% earned Fight of the Year for 2019. I rewatch it from time to time because it's just that good. It's probably the best fight of the 2010's tbh.

In the second round of the Donaire fight, Naoya Inoue suffered a broken nose and orbital bone from Nonito Donaire's left hook. Despite excruciating pain and double vision, he fought on unfazed until the 12th round. Remarkably, Donaire refrained from targeting the injured right eye. Initially, there seemed to be a speed discrepancy, and I wondered if Inoue would be outpaced, but Donaire swiftly unleashed a left hook like a Japanese sword, shattering Inoue's face. It was an incredible match.

@@sirmuffincat6630 @BVW996 Yeah i will 100% rewatch this fight a couple of times. After round 2 continueing with the broken orbital bone and with doublevision were nutz. I think after the liver shot in the beginning of round 11. Donaire never could fully recover from this. But he takes it very good many others were Ko after this. Amazing. Stuff of legends. Very glad to find this :)

Nery got a knockdown because inoue is too hype and doesn’t defend himself when he swings I haven’t seen this do keep his hand up after a jab or punch yet

Try 2x undisputed within a calendar year 😂 unheard of

No he’s not gervonta Davis is

@@colbylo5196 he's undisputed in 2 weight classes and fought all champions! Tank isn't the best because he doesn't fight the best.

Worst fan base

Poor country people only active on social media

There's this one guy in the philippines he's trying to avoid thou...I wonder why...he already mention as u finished business...but still avoiding it's challenge despite all the insult and trashtalking made by that guy

@@ployburn. you mean the guy that’s ranked 4, 6, 7, and unranked and has 3 losses? LMFAO. If he was so good, the boxing world would be calling for that fight. But it’s just you Filipina casuals calling for it LOL

@@ployburn. and you made a new account today? Hahaha fake guy

And undisputed 2x in 2 different weight class within 12-13mths is unheard of. If any American boxer did that. He be hailed best boxer in history lol
