Keys to Victory for Naoya Inoue 

Also known as “The Monster,” Inoue has built a reputation for delivering electrifying performances, turning his fights into must-see events. Inoue’s relentless pressure is one of the many reasons he’s so dominant in the ring. His ability to dictate the pace early and overwhelm his opponents has allowed him to score 25 KOs in a 28-0 undefeated career.

He will be looking to establish this trademark pressure against Kim, who replaces Sam Goodman on short notice. If he can successfully do that, this will be a rather short night for both fighters.

For Kim, surviving those early exchanges will be a tall order. Interestingly, the young boxer is nicknamed ‘Paquiweather’ after two of the greatest boxers of this generation. He has the style to be able to counter Inoue but relative inexperience in big matches could make this a tall order for Kim. He also believes that his size can play a factor against Inoue, who is not a natural 122 lbs fighter.

Hopefully, it is as interesting a fight as it sounds on paper.
