Former WBC bantamweight champ Luis Nery (35-1, 27 KOs), the Mexican southpaw challenger to “Monster” Naoya Inoue (26-0, 23 KOs) on this coming May 6, arrived on Sunday in Tokyo, Japan. Accompanying his wife and three daughters, Nery said, “I’m fully aware that Inoue is an excellent boxer, but I’m not scared of fighting him. I don’t believe Naoya, in the pound-for-pound ratings, is superior to Terrence Crawford or Gervonta Davis. I’ll knock him out and win the world belts from him.” Reportedly he is already at 127, just five pounds over the super bantam class limit. He has a couple of weeks prior to the highly anticipated super fight at Tokyo Dome.
Nery will give it his best attempt, but he is confronting a “Monster.” Inoue will win by KO5. Let’s hope there are no weigh-in “issues.”
Awwwwwww I hope this fight get cancelled
Inoue by unanimous decicion
Why??? By the way Inue by brutal beat-down stoppage.
Inoue never goes to decisions and he’s a master boxer;it will be a ko
Inoue never goes to decisions,plus he’s a master boxer;it will be a ko
We saw what happened recently, I mean, nothing is impossible in boxing. Massive betting favorite are being exposed, so, even though Inoue should be the winner in this contest, we shouldn’t forget that Nery is a heavy handed fighter with a big heart
If you mean with Haney, the dude has no power. Inoue is also heavy-handed, has heart, has excellent boxing.
Nery’s only loss was the much taller/bigger Brandon Figueroa who is now one weight clsss higher. This will be a very good fight. Inoue is the betting favorite but unlike previous Inoue opponents this one has a legit chance.
I hope Nery is well prepared and gives a good fight, better than Inou vs Nonito 1
* Inoue vs Nonito
If you don’t like how Monster Inoue is having so much power over you…this might be the night where you will get a chance to celebrate the fall Inoue, shack it up with your average looking partner in your comically overpriced paperhouse.
Once sobered up from the Super National 1 cent Ethanol that you paid dearly for, you will not enjoy how your new Powerful Handler Nery will start projecting power over you from his Granite Citadel.
Inoue is our Mascot for now, May the best man win
It doesn’t matter if you’re scared before the fight or not. What matters is if nery will get scared once he eats clean counters and power jabs from inoue.
Hoping for Inoue to do a number on Nery, which i think he will.
