[Boxing] Naoya Inoue vs TJ Doheny 122lb Title fight-September 3

[robelneo]

And Inoue is still very sharp I should say, kudos to TJ he is a good fighter and I think he can reckon at this division and with the best of them. However, Inoue is really the best of this super bantamweight division and we want him to go up to featherweight and fight in America next year.

As per Bob Arum's plan, Inoue will defend his title on December 24th against Sam Goodman. This card will also feature another Japanese champion Junto Nakatani in the undercard. The article says that if both Japanese will win, they will meet in April 2025 at Tokyo Dome in Japan so Inoue's fight in US soil might be delayed for a few months next year.

Great, Sam Goodman will be his last stop before going into the featherweight division and hopefully, he will not derailed any plans of Inoue going into American next year. It is also much needed for Inoue to fight in US soil as we have been requesting from him to get out of comfort zone and fight outside of Japan.

And it seems our wish have been heard by Bob Arum. And probably Inoue himself has been hearing what fans said of him, and so he is willing to change the course of his career again by going Stateside.

Same outcome though, I'm not seeing Sam Goodman as well to derail the plans, he is slow, although methodical as well, but it's not enough to put a stop on the winning streak of Inoue unless he got a lucky punch.

But he doesn't have the power to score a knockout, and then Inoue is complete as he had a solid chin. So we will see who he will be fighting next year at the featherweight division and having his status, I won't be surprised if he is given a chance to fight for a belt in his first fight at 126 lbs.

There's a possibility, out of respect for being an undisputed champion, he will go directly on the belt, knowing Arum wants to cash out big on his prized fighters, which is why he wants Inoue to fight in the US because there is a lot of good opposition, and that's huge bucks and promotion coming in his promotion, and besides,, Inoue really need to be in the US as part of his establishing his legacy.

Sam Goodman and Junto Nakatani might be his last two fights in the super bantamweight division before moving up. Derailing the path of his career is a slim possibility as Top Rank is doing a very good job of grooming Inoue and every fight is a calculated risk, i mean that whenever Inoue fights, it should be a winnable fight for him.

We can see very soon Inoue fighting in the US as that was what Bob Arum promised.

But he could only get one fighter at the end of the year and it could be Sam Goodman. I don't think that they will risk it fighting fellow Japanese although it could be big in Japan as obviously they hail from the same country.

And with that, after Sam Goodman, then Inoue going into the US in the first quarter. For sure we have our own speculation as who is his first opponent at featherweight, could be a champion or could be a cherry pick and tune up for him in this new division.

I think Naoya Inoue will fight Sam Goodman and Junto Nakatani last in super bantamweight division before moving up. I am sure Inoue career is going well because Top Rank is helping him make good choices. They make sure each fight is good chance for him to win. I am excited to see Inoue fight in  US soon like Bob Arum promised. I think Inoue will do great in boxing and moving to the US is a good next step. With Top Rank help I think Inoue will keep doing well and achieve even more.

According to Bob Arum, Inoue will have his last fight at end of the year in Japan, so with that, he will have to choose only one boxer between Nakatani and Sam Goodman.

So I doubt that he will fight the two in super bantamweight, it is Goodman and then featherweight for him in the US. Unless they change their minds and fought Nakatani in US which is odd.

Nakatani vs Inoue would be big in Japan than in the US so i think they will stage the fight in Japan if both are successful this year-end.
