Naoya so good he made America pay attention to these tiny weight classes
Without googling I bet you couldn’t even name nobody
👂🏼 💯
@@jamess8477 yeah but he tell The Truth🤣 1 of 3 The 2× Undisputed Champ and The Most Active Boxer in The Planet😭
@@jamess8477you could say the shit for every weight class. Pointless comment
Fighting 6th graders ain't nothing to brag about. He should move up to 130 and test some real action out.
Inoue is inside the head of all his haters and critics, living rent free.
My man why is Kim jung un your pfp 🤣
@@legosanero5381 Exactly
@@legosanero5381 Even in north korea they know Naoya 😂
Hell no 😂
@@Cris92507 He is great
We only have 4 more years to watch this greatest warrior fight
God grant eternal youth to Naoya Inoue
he fights twice a year so that's a bonus!
It could be 6 hopefully.
Why only 4 more years? What he gon do then?
@@hdrkn5247 because most boxers start to decline after 35-37yrs old. Unless you fight defensive like floyd and canelo then it'll be easier to keep fighting but inoue is more offensive then defensive. Plus he fights the best back to back so that will def take a toll on you
@@droptopp3479yeah Hoped he will still Boxes Until 37 y.o
He is the best in the world at this moment in time. Respect.from the USA.
I love Inoue Maaan this guy is P4P
Me too love the Monster 👍 he's beast 💪
Damn Inoue in America let’s shut all the haters up
he is already There 3 times Brother😭🤣
😂😂😂😂 stop
Who has he fought in America worth a dam? He's fighting 6th graders.
井上に興味がない人は見なければ良いでしょう（笑）
ライアンガルシアが人気者になるような国で戦う意味が分からないですよ。
at this point is more profitable for him to fight in japan, why would he fight in usa?

True, but in opposite order.

What a humble and respectful dude - when you see him here you’d never think he’s got a full highlight reel of stunning KOs
Naoya is like the shohei of baseball. Hes one of the best in the league. Hopefully he gets way more attention in the US and UK
Thank you champ! I really appreciate your response in an honest manner🙏
Thank you Mark and Ikushima-san for your great interview and interpretation too😊
Gotta love his humility, another great boxer and great man like Usyk
Crawford?
@@gypsyman1939what about him? He doesn’t stay active as Usyk and Inoue.
All hail naoya… first time I saw him fight was in the WBSS and was hooked ever since
日本人としてありがとう
❤❤❤ NAOYA BIG LOVE FROM THE PHILIPPINES!
😏When Naoya fought Luiz Nery. The moment Naoya falls, Filipinos laugh at these times. On the contrary, Filipinos don't like Naoya!
Real Filipino boxing fans respect Inoue

Hes actally PR.

@@loi2531whered you this info?
Inoue one the best in the world! 🇯🇵
I can agree with that. One of them, certainly.
The fact that he challenged the very best in every weight class he competed in ..makes him extremely desirable to follow and admire..No ducking No hiding..He relishes a challenge
he duck prime dangerous johnriel casimero
He is scared jonriel casimero
also, no tune up fights, straight to the killers

@@PjYogiBear Will he be in NYC for 2 weeks?? I live in NYC wish I can go see him😄
@@leodegariozagado6558 to visit or to fight? His very comfortable in his home land.
@@user-wr9lh4ly1n 😀
I don't actually know. All's I know is that he said in an interview after his previous first short training camp at Freddie Roaches gym that he'd definitely be back to do another. Could be back at Wildcard, but he might go for something different. He's known Ishmael Salas since his amateur days, so Vegas might be a natural choice. Salas knows South East and East Asian fighters mindsets like no other trainers. Even married to a Japanese so communication a little easier. Plenty good sparring partners with different styles for Inoue to sample there too..
This guy truly a monster. His fights are explosive
Naoya should fight in Los Angeles a few times at dodger stadium or another place in LA. If shohei ohtani does a ring walk with him, their popularity would explode
My number one idol in Boxing Monster🦖🦖🦖 Naoya Inoue

He’s definitely on the list but Crawford is number 1. Undefeated. And two time undisputed. Not to mention he beat the ever living hell out of Spence.
This guy is the best fighter in the world 🎉🎉

you mean in japan only lol
@@euariaeu8873 Wrong. WBA, WBC, WBO and IBF all recognize him as the world champion.
@@euariaeu8873naw in in world gang
But aftaid of Casimero🤣
I am Japanese. I'm happy to know that there are people outside of Japan who support him.
First heard about this dude from Tyson. He truly is a hmongstar
Naoya Inoue God gifted power man Handsham gentilman talented honesty handsham fighter in the world super God always wins wins
Inoue won't rush moving up, no matter how many fighters at featherweight call him out. He will take his time.
That is what he is supposed to do.
Facts. Btw Black Flame is an awesome album haha
I say why don't they move down. Just saying. 🤷♂
Making money in the lower weights and giving opponents opportunities to make more money too! What a Champ!
This man. People overlooking the impact he has on the lower weights. But some people complain that he only fights in Japan. If you gotta go to Japan to make a few millions why not.
He’s a monster in the boxing world. It’s something special watching Inoue do his thing in the ring.
The best boxer of the world, Nayoa Inoue....❤️❤️
The die hards boxing fans and savants all know that Inoue deserves to be at the top of the P4P mountain. Understandable that Uysk should be #1 at the moment because cmon, he defeated one of the notorious giants of the heavyweight, Tyson Fury. But Inoue is truly becoming the people's champ in boxing. He's everything you want to see in a boxer. His skillset and IQ are off the charts. He only fights the best of the best in the weight division he competes in and the most impressive thing is that he does it in back to back fights...within a matter of months. I get that many of these boxers fight to provide for themselves and family but Inoue goes beyond chasing greatness, laying down his undefeated record every single fight, knocking everyone tf out, entertaining fans and boxers from all over the globe, and making a whole lot of money that so many boxers dream of ever obtaining. Now that is the gold standard of boxing. Not no bs slick style run and tap boxing like Mayweather or ducking the fights that need to happen like Crawford. Every boxers need to start watch and learn from Inoue because he's doing it all. Making a whole lot of money, entertaining fans with his skills and performance, beating all the best fighters, winning world titles and continue making history in the sport of boxing. The monster is that motor in today's era that is reviving the sport of boxing.
everyone hating in inoue cause he's chinese if he was black or Mexican ppl would be cheering for him
@@killingspree15Correction, Japanese!
Nah still fight lower division at his age like donaire got old but scared to go up because cant compete the same in lower division. Fight all the best 135 to 140lbs
@@xioopgu see that’s why your considered one of those ignorant boxing fans. Inoue only fight the top fighters in his weight division. He started fighting at 108 lbs and destroyed the next 4 weight division. He’s going to be fighting in his 5th weight division next year but you think he’s not great cause he gotta move up and fight at 135-140 which is 3-4 weight division from where he’s currently fighting at. Just cause you only follow the dead dream Haney and run lil scared Shakur, doesn’t mean fighting at 135-140 makes you the best fighter. You don’t see Haney going up and fighting Canelo. Weight classes matter. Your logic is saying that Inoue is his career has to fight in his 8th weight class in order to be considered great. Dumb comment. Even the best fighters at 135-140 (Tank and Teo) already recognized Inoue as their favorite fighter of this generation.
@@xioopgu So Inoue gotta be like PacMan and fight in his 7th and 8th weight division to be relevant. Might as well tell Shakur Stevenson and Devin Haney to go up and fight Canelo just to get their asses knocked out. Inoue started fighting at 108 and bouta to move up to his 5th weight class. Shakur only fought in 3 weight classes and doesn't even look good at 135.
I am in the presence of greatness right now!!!!!!! #1 p4p
Casual
You can’t even name his last 5 opponents
😂
@@budcrawfordbeatseasyroutespenc We can name them you can't because you ignorant to the smaller weight classes.
@@xXAmightzXx I can because I cover the sport you can’t because you casual fangirl
Have never seen much attention again to these “lighter divisions” since Pacquiao and Nonito Donaire in the late 2000’s. I’m so glad that we at least have a beast in the FW div.
Casimero fan girls are crying in the comment section 😂
I hate them mf they're just like Deontay Wilders, small brain and never speak bout stuff objectively
😂
Just like in church, they are in the cry room
Well to be fair inoue did duck him , it's not crying if it's facts & i'm an inoue fan
@IceColdRaspberryTea If you're an inoue fan then you'd know he didn't duck him inoue was willing to take a paycut to fight casimero and casimero and his team rejected it fool
If Naoya learned a little english and fought more in the states hed be the biggest thing since sliced bread. Hes already a legend in Japan i think with his style hed be huge in the US as well.
People mad because he's fighting the best fighters HIS WEIGHT CLASS!!! NOT F*CKIN JR. WELTERWEIGHTS!!!!

The real face of boxing and the greatest to ever do it!
Not!!!
Face of boxing in japan, but no.
Not the greatest, let’s set that straight, he can’t be called the greatest until he’s retired and accomplished more.
It’s gonna be hard beating Manny Pacquiao‘s 8 division record
@@kiboma4209He Pacquiao has losses! we’re’ talking about undefeated!
@@domingoliao2724 Pacquiao has never unify a division Inoue is double undisputed
Best fighter in the world!!!! What a monster this guy is!!!!! Huge fan
The GOAT!!!!
LETS GOOO NAKATANI VS INOUE MENTIONED! my fkng Dream Fight
Nakatani stands no chance against Naoya, he could beat Takuma the younger sibling though, I'd like to see them go toe to toe if they want to unify bantamweight
Tremendous fight. But might be too early for Nakatani to step in the ring with Inoue. And they might not cross paths in time as he's looking to unify at bantamweight while Inoue will soon be moving to Featherweight some time next year.
Nakatani is an excellent fight but Inoue is better than Nakatani in every respect: power, speed, footwork, offense, defense…
That would be a great fight in featherweight soon!
junto is at 118, inoue at 122. Inoue may move up to 126 by next year and nakatani may stick around at 118 for a while. I doubt they will ever meet up due to inoue moving on so quickly, he fights like 2-3 a year while nakatani only fights once. inoue getting to featherweight b4 we know it.
The Monster 👹
People said they didn't know who Bruce is but Inoue knows who he is and that's all that matters.
Bruce will get K.Oed.
Bruce took 8 rounds to Ko a Bum with 3 days notice… Bruce is an American hypejob. Only good American at 126 I see giving Inoue a good fight but losing is Raymond Ford, not a hard puncher but he got that dawg in him.
Bruce is overrated
@@kiboma4209 the great thing about boxing is when it happens no one can save you in the ring. If we are talking about who did what and how long it took. Inoue I like him but he still got laid out by someone he shouldn't have. But we will see who's who when and if they fight. We will see.....
@@FhillipFry we will see...
@@VesaJay everyone can get knocked down, it's what you do during that situation that separates you from the rest. He got up, defended well in a corner and countered Nery twice to push him back and then destroyed his opponent in the next 5 rounds
The real face of boxing 💯
You got a point
But he never did
Ppv so can’t say til then
Canelo is a flop
& only people who sold a lot
With other is
Usky
Aj
Crawford
& Tyson fury
So he go ppv & do over 400k
Ppv with a purse of 10m or less he’s is face of boxing
Because he make money & numbers
What are you on about, canelo and tank are the face of boxing, regardless of if you like them or not, numbers wise no one outsells them .
@@Xmgnomnomstank is not the e face of boxing. Tank is a scrub and he’s hella small.
@@TheUndisputedTalk50455k in Tokyo dome. Did Tank or Crawford even sell that many tickets…oh wait…they dont have enough demand to fight in a 50k arena or stadium.😂
@@Xmgnomnomstank ain’t no damn face of boxing 😂😂
Inoue vs Nakatani would be absolutely 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Japanese on Japanese won't make money or be recognized on a global level. IMO, the man has to continue fighting the Blacks and Latinos. And the Monster should definitely go after the Russians and Ukrainians.
Usyk is espn's top pfp but imo, these lower weight classes are more exciting than heavyweights 🤷
i said what i said
INOUE! INOUE! INOUE!
Inoue Is the p4p

Inoue is #1 p4p.
Naoya Inoue my 🥇 idol and number 🥇 p4p King 👑
NAOYA INOUE !!!!!!!!!
Inoue needs more American press bruh I love this, he’s kinda mysterious in a sense hence a lot of his stuff is in Japanese and some interviews go untranslated.
Naoya his very humble and intelligent boxer and he has a good power punch. Greetings from the Philippines
only boxer i would set alarm at 4am to wake up for in the morning to watch. phenomenal boxer.
I hope Inoue and his team stays consistent and brave throughout this and what's ahead. As he gets bigger and bigger it become a lot more political, business, and branding. It can be really tiring and annoying dealing with press and all the nonsense. I hope they get to keep their heads straight and sharpened and not let all the noise and bullshit wear them out.
Very well said bro #respect#
Great guy!
The monster 👹 number 1👍👍
Good interview guys. The interviewer was so professional, good job! Naoya Inoue is def one of my favs! Tank too!
One of the best fighters currently, no argument with that.
I don't know about bias ESPN, but I have Naoya Inoue at #1 P4P, with Usyk at #2, and Bivol at #3. Crawfish don't even count, he only beat a derailed Spence from 2 car accident.💯
Crawford cant help people ducking
Usyk #1 for me. Heavyweights can't gain more weight and they are more dangerous. Usyk fought guys 20, 30, 40 or more pounds heavier than him.
Inoue #2
😂😂😂😂😂 stop
Ikr Crawford is not even active and he's number 2 p4p?? Bruhh
Crawford only beat a derailed Spence? Spence had 3 titles and he also already became undisputed before that fight. You’re a straight hater.
Monster 0 is so good. He got the East Coast waking up for monday morning boxing. The feeling of watching the highest level of boxing so early with a cup of coffee instead of a warm Guinness 😅 is different.
Arigatōgozaimashita.🍃🥋
NAOYA INOUE🇯🇵🗾
I love his attitude he’s always respect his apponent no talk shit around and he beat all the champ only that’s why he got nickname monster and that’s why he’s number one boxer in the world❤❤😅😅
Omgahhhhh I’m so happy to find this❤ thank you espn for having him on the interview テレビにちょっとだけど出たんだね！！こんな出演見れて感激
The next time Inoue fights in America will catapult his stardom EVEN MORE. I’m talking face of boxing after he beats Shu Shu!
He needs to get a world title first. Inoue only fights champions.
He is really monster
Need more interesting questions.
Mark Krigel is a horrible interviewer
Inoue v Nakatani at 126 was the biggest fight in Japanese boxing history, if the could be happen in the future that will purcase Millions $$$ in japan.
Especially at the Tokyo Dome!!
Monster ☠️
The Monster 👹 🇯🇵
As ever,he's keeping it humble and real.personally i think he'll do a defence or two at 122 then he'll move up and try and clean up there.
Japanese fan here. Want to see Inoue vs Nakatani at 126!
The real fight is Casimero
I think that will happen at 122

Perfect translator by the way.
THE BEST
If inoue spoke English his stock and fanbase would go way up. Future 3 division undisputed coming 💯
Unfortunately he’s not fighting for money so he will never learn. He’s fighting for legacy and the love of the sport.
This weight class doesn't have that much attention. but Inoue fix that
Fun fact:The only 3 fighters to ever win undisputed champion in 2 weight classes in the 4 belt era,are also the top 3 p4p.
The light division is the best, fast, exciting and real boxing
If yall bring up Bruce Carrington name again with Inoue idk what's wrong with yall. Dude a prospect & his performance tonight showed he's easy Work, FOOD!
Inoue would put Shu Shu in the blender lol
As of now I would never advise Shu to even think of Inoue unless he's thinking in future anyone saying Shu Shu beating Inoue is either a hater hoping and praying Inoue looses to an American fighter, a bitter Steph fan Ignorant the skill gap between the 2 is so wide Bruce has power patience timing Inoue has both to go with speed great IQ ring generalship he's well rounded with good defence.
The translator is terrible both in Japanese and English. Inoue should hire Ippei Mizuhara lol😂
日本のインタビュアーと違ってアメリカのインタビューは、
井上選手へのリスペクトが感じられて素晴らしいですね、
ファンが聞きたいことを質問してくれてありがとう。
Lot respect
クロフォード、スペンス戦への言及はリップサービスだね。
The featherweight class is not a dangerous one, and not everyone can just move up to a higher and higher weight class. To do that, you need time to prepare your muscles, body shape, and weight. Preparation is important, and no one would be stupid enough to suddenly move up a weight class. On the other hand, if a featherweight fighter wants to fight Inoue so badly, can he go back to super bantamweight and fight Inoue right away? He probably can't. It's the same thing. It's obvious that he'll be defeated by Inoue in super bantamweight, so it's not a true champion to talk about things that are to his advantage.
I have gotten up on my Off Days @ 6am to watch his last few fights..All ko world Titles fights .. His last fight he got up .. Delivered quite possibly ko of the year 💯‼️
日本の宝です
I’m glad he isn’t too humble here and saying he is the best. Enough of being polite like Japanese typically are.
He didn't say he was the best. He actually said he wants to get back on the #1position. He also said he was impressed by bud vs spenve fight.
The interpreter didn't say exactly what Naoya said.
Beast
yayy!!
100!!!
He doesn’t look so small from this angle
it’s taken him a long time, it’s natural growth.
階級を上げ続ける上で、肉体増量を行っています。
Probably his walking around weight right now
My boy! Mr. Nice Guy, aka the Monster
fighting style, for me Inoue is the number 1 p4p
Why do they project Puerto Rican flag 🇵🇷 and not Japanese flag 🇯🇵??
The event today was for the Puerto Rico day parade in NY so that's just the theme.
Everyone around the world, Inoue and of course Nakatani are both really strong. I'm looking forward to it.
I hope Inoue comes to LA and fight
