Arum: Inoue-Moloney could be fight of the year

By Ray Wheatley – World of Boxing

Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum spoke to Peter Maniatis about Jason Moloney (21-1, 18 KOs) challenging “Pound-for-Pound Best” Naoya Inoue (19-0, 16 KOs) on October 31st in Las Vegas televised on ESPN. “We are going to do the Jason Moloney vs. Naoya Inoue in the “Bubble” on October 31st,” said Arum. “Inoue’s papers and visa are cleared. He will be coming here (to the USA) probably a month before the fight. The Moloneys are the same. Jason will fight Inoue on October 31st and a couple of weeks later Andrew Moloney will get a rematch with Joshua Franco. Jason Moloney is a helluva a fighter. I cannot wait to watch the Inoue-Moloney fight. That could be the fight of the year.”

  • I hope Moloney wins but Inoue is on another level.
    He is not as fast as Moloney but has way more power. If Jason doesn’t get KO’ed he might just win on points.

  • the hype is starting … Casimero vs Inoue was much more compelling, but Arum didn’t want to pay Casimero’s purse and was a big risk for Inoue. Arum thinks sugarcoating to the press this Moloney vs Inoue will earn him more.

  • Inoue by ko in the middle rounds.. Sorry but it won’t be fight of the year, the brothers are good but not great.. Easy work for Inoue

  • This is another ARUM show.he felt Inoue will be in trouble if fighting Casimero than fighting Maloney.They are coward and disrespecting boxing as a sport.
    You cannot call him monster if he is evading the best fighter out there and what they did to Casimero is insult to boxing and disgrace to this sport.I think Arum should enroll Inoue to a track and field training center.
    Shame on this people.Arum is very old to aim for more money.Instead he must cement his legacy by pursuing and promoting fights for his wards which is best for boxing.

  • I’m an Aussie and I hope Maloney can grab this but hope won’t stop this guy Inoue,he can box and he can really bang with every shot in the book !!
