Vamos panteraaaaas
Inoue after he beats Nery has to be P4P king, he stays busy, and ducks nobody, Crawford also right up there, but lost his belt, and doesn’t seem to want it back, Inoue would. but don’t get me wrong Crawford is great.
Nery will get busted up in 5 rounds! The monster is a different kind of breed, I give lots of credit to nery for his courage and determination to face the monster!
Inoue by ko, probably a body shot. I think he makes it look easy.
Wouldn’t be surprised if it goes full distance
Go Jason moloney do ypurself and Australia proud go Aussie
