Undisputed tremendous bantamweight champion Naoya ‘Monster’ Inoue’s struggle in opposition to Sam Goodman on December 24 must be postponed as a result of Australian struggling a minimize to his left eye throughout his remaining coaching session. The 2 had been supposed to fulfill on the Ariake Area, Koto-Ku, in Tokyo, Japan.
No substitute?
It’s not but identified whether or not Inoue (28-0, 25 KO) will discover a substitute opponent to save lots of the date and the cardboard. It is not like non-Australian followers had been very interested by seeing Inoue defend in opposition to the 26-year-old Goodman as a result of the struggle was thought-about a mismatch.
Followers would not complain if Inoue by no means rescheduled the Goodman struggle, as that is not one of many names on the want checklist for the Japanese fighter to face.
They need Inoue to begin preventing 50-50, not 90-10. That is why Naoya just isn’t standard outdoors of his native Japan. He by no means places himself ready the place he may lose by preventing guys who’ve an opportunity of beating him. He isn’t a danger taker.
Goodman had by no means crushed any notable opponent to earn his No. 1 rating with the IBF and WBO. Boxing followers wished to see Inoue face a proficient contender for a change, specifically Murodjon Akhmadaliev or John Riel Casimero. Goodman was simply one other in an extended line of disappointing opponents Inoue confronted throughout his 12-year skilled profession.
Inoue has taken his time transferring as much as stage 126 to tackle the harmful expertise on this division, and a few imagine he has stage fright figuring out he can be anticipated to struggle these harmful apex predators:
Rafael Espinoza
Bruce Carrington
King Vargas
Stephen Fulton
Angelo Leo
Brandon Figueroa
Sulaiman Segawa
Is it an excessive amount of to ask of Inoue to struggle one in all these killers? Many of those guys can be an absolute nightmare for Inoue, 31, which can be why he is hesitant to maneuver as much as featherweight.
