Unified super-bantamweight king and reigning pound-for-pound champ (within the opinion of many) Naoya Inoue has not fought in Las Vegas since June of 2021, and the Japanese celebrity has not boxed in America in any respect since that date. However that is set to alter this June. As per a information story at Ring Journal’s web site, Inoue is near finalising a deal to battle unbeaten Mexican warrior David Picasso on June 14th, the T-Cell in Vegas the seemingly venue.
It’s nice that Inoue is ready to field outdoors of his homeland for a change, however on the similar time some followers will presumably be feeling underwhelmed so far as who Inoue’s dance accomplice can be on the night time. Who’s David Picasso, and may he give “The Monster” something in any respect to fret about if/when he shares a hoop with him? There are, for certain, higher, extra deserving opponents on the market for Inoue, however possibly these guys – Murodjon Akhmadaliev, for instance, who has been screaming for his shot at Inoue for months now, can be accommodated afterward this yr.
If that’s the case, then wonderful. However first comes the scary, certainly anticipated mismatch between Inoue and Picasso. Picasso is Mexican, and that’s an excellent factor, as everyone knows that every one Mexican fighters are naturally robust and proud. Picasso might be anticipated to strive his best possible and go for it when he will get his huge, huge probability. At 30-0-1(17), 24 yr previous Picasso of Mexico Metropolis has a nice-looking professional document, however who has he truly fought?
Taking a look at Picasso’s document, there are some recognisable names there, similar to Azat Hovhannisyan and Damien Vazquez, however that’s about it (until you, fellow battle fan, see a reputation on Picasso’s ledger that’s significant and I’ve missed it?). Little doubt, Picasso can be taking an enormous step up in school when he fights Inoue. Will this be a showcase KO win for Inoue in June and nothing extra? To be blunt and truthful, it appears so.
Nonetheless, loads of US battle followers could have a ball having the ability to see Inoue, 29-0(26) battle reside, from ringside.
