Dec.26th Naoya Inoue vs Marlon Tapales

[Misery Signals]

I liked the way Tapales fought and I've become a fan. More so than some of Inoue's other opponents.

Holy shit! Now it makes sense when we saw his leg shaking and him being held up after the fight. I thought he was just super tired.

It’s always easy to tell in hindsight but letting him fight after the 3rd KD might have been a bad idea.

 

[Kovalev's "Man Bag"]

Oh shit. That's serious. I hope Anaguchi is okay.

 

[Blastbeat]

hate to see that. hoping for a full recovery for Anaguchi.

at least you can say the guy went out fighting, because he did.

Gotta let them do what they were born to, can’t tell a fighter not to fight, but damn it’s not a game. RIP warrior, thoughts and prayers to his family

The fight was truly outstanding, my own personal FOTY, but it came at too high a price.

On this very specific case it's all about sending him back after every knockdown, I guess. 4 is quite a lot. Maybe his corner or the referee will do a little soul searching about this.
