The dude is a complete fighter, and nasty! Speed, Combos, Distance, Range, Power, flawless technique, ring IQ, Accuracy, counters 😮
Beautiful to watch 😢

[kobidog]

Inoue is the King of his division best fighter ever. Strong and Smart. Love this Fella. 💪👊

[TheVietSlade]

Inoue’s art of countering and speed was immaculate throughout this fight. In round 6, notice he adjusted for the step-in jab, he would instantly react with a faster left jab. Crazy.

Japan should be proud of Inoue. This is a multi-generational champion. Complete puncher.

best fighter in boxing! really fun to watch!

[BLACKMAN---]

Inoue is a beautiful fighter to watch a technically sound but powerful fighter

[sieg]

Tank himself said inoue is good and he loves to watch him. Seems like a lot of casuals think they are better than tank in terms of boxing since they are calling inoue trash.

[SUKUNA_BOYYY]

What i like most about inoue is he knocked out their opp. with their guard on!! He's so powerful!! 👌👍👍👍

[pinky]

Marlon Tapales kept making ajustments throughout the fight. Which to the casual obersever may seem a slow boring fight. But in reality it was a very technical chess match in the end Inoue's power was just a bit much for Tapales. Respect to both fighters

[paynne]

Some of you all really say Inoue hasnt fought anyone. Most of you Americans only knows boxers that fights in US soil there are a lof of great fighters that isnt popular. They are champions for a reason.

[cloudcaf]

Marlon Tapales' style is under-rated. that low stance is incredibly effective as a slow paced defensive stance.

[slh]

Thank you for finally uploading this! And Tapales really put up an amazing fight. Respectable and humble fighter, although it was also rather apparent from the start that Inoue would come out on top. But still, respect all the way to both fighters

[Santo]

Inoue never continued punching when his opponent started to fall👍

[marcusmichaels]

Inoue is simply a master of this craft.

[JulieTech]

Though Tapales lost, but he gave a shock to Inoue. This is one of the best fight of Inoue among his opponents.

[markneilvillela]

I respect Tapales for this, Haven't expected anything from him, but he showed up to fight.

[TheIndonesianStallion]

for japanese monsters, greetings from the Indonesian people 🙏😎

[nameless]

The reason this badass is so good is his foot work is one very important keys to his successesss....he was born to box no lie ...talents and hardcore workouts....equals super hero status

[adamspivey]

It's mind-boggling how much power that little fella generates!

[BentleyVB]

Major props for Tapales to rumble against the pound for pound .
