He looks like a nerdy kid who spends his time playing online video games but then crushes world level boxers like its easy.
definitely one of my favourite fighters today. don't know if his power is that deceptive though. you can clearly see the power on his shots. watch zarate in comparison. now that would be a good match. inoue has a way to go before he is at zarate's level though. i really like the small quick steps inoue takes, he really makes footwork look good. people always rave about lomachenko's movement, but i much prefer inoue's footwork. the way he moves is all about setting up the wicked power. you don't want to super glue guard against the monster or he will rip your body to pieces, then smash you up top (if you last that long).
Yeah, that fight was ruined in a similar way to Garcia/Mattysse.
chavez is one of the best for that, punches that look like they are landing but you can't see the internal damage they are doing as in the bone/tissue damage. But one guy stands out in my mind more than any other and thats naseem hamed, he'd look like he's just touching someone, as in tapping someone and they'd drop, never seen anyone else do it like that. body mechanics all wankie and everything, didn't make a difference, the guys would drop.
it's a tough sport, i've always thought that the outside of the ring life makes swellings those kinds of factors. Joe Frazier was known to drink and his diet was probably bad too and Fernando Vargas is another who was known to ballon up between fights, boxing is a lot more than what goes on in the gym and the ring, it's also the 90 percent of the rest of the time outside of it and what you put into your body.
i have never really watched much chavez until recently, but like you say the damage he did was ridiculous. as for hamed, he was just one funky cat. not sure if i was really a fan, but his reflexes were up there with roy jones and ali.
I don't get it
He was just a flimsy looking little dude with a giant head and little arms.
