Hope i get to watch this, Finding a steam will be hard.
Inoue has great balance and technique on his punches combined with excellent stamina. Maloney does not have the defensive ability to frustrate Inoue and take him off his game. It is only a matter of time before Inoue catches him, which I predict he will do between rounds 4 and 8. Alternatively, Maloney is able to frustrate Inoue with some effective offense which results in a longer fight ending in a decision win for Inoue. Bottom line, if Inoue can get his punches off, Maloney will be out of there. Maloney can survive by finding a way to frustrate Inoue through awkward offense, similar to the way Doniare did, and maybe even hope to win enough rounds to get a decision. The least most likely outcome, is Maloney lands something big to end the fight.
My prediction is Inoue by KO in 4 to 8.
