when Inoue fell, i think everyone who put their money on him must have been standing up and about to say goodbye to their money.
but then he won by KO again. it isn't surprising but Inoue knocked down was more surprising, it kept watching over and over and it sure can be a big hole in his defense. it may just be his fall next if he fights someone on their heavier division.
this is the first time i saw Inoue showboating by the way. i guess that knock down crawled under his skin.
It was a flash knockdown as he didn't saw that hook coming but i think he was not that hurt as he didn't even clinched to Nery and i admired Inoue's presence of mind and composure and the adjustment he made was awesome that Nery couldn't hit him anymore with his counter left hook.
I think he was showboating so that if Nery would take the bait he will be open for the counter straight of Inoue and yeah he seldom do that.
There are talks that Inoue's next fight will be in September against Sam Goodman so this means that Casimero is already out of the picture of getting/winning the Inoue sweepstakes.
giving a chance to casimero might be good thing for inoue but none seem to back this fight to happen. if inoue climbs the weight again, then he will not have any chance.
its crazy to see inoue will still be defending his belt after Nery, it would make sense to go all the way up already. but i'm guessing he could not request the fight to be in Japan if he climbs up to fight a champ from the upper weight class?
