Yes. And it should also be noted Inoue went on to win those fights. But what I'm seeing from Inoue is he is being hyper aggressive in the first round in a really amateurish way, leaving himself open to be countered. This is not something an elite fighter should be doing. WHEN Inoue decides to box, and actually use his brain then he is an amazing fighter, and that's when he's at his strongest. When he fights MEASURED. He is not doing that in the first round or two. I don't know what his deal is, is he getting overexcited, anxious, impatient, I dont know. But you can watch it back and he's doing stupid shit and if he does that stupid shit against someone like ball who wants to fight a war with you if you let him, he MIGHT get hurt. Keyword MIGHT. I dont know. But let's stop pretending like Inoue is invincible when he's been down hard multiple times recently.

Have you seen Crawford get downed like that recently? How about Canelo? Bivol? And if Inoue moves up another weight class guess what. He's going to even less punch resistance. I know Ball's no counter puncher. Luis Nery is, Cardenas can counterpunch too apparently. Nobody thought he could before the fight though, that's the issue.

Ask yourself this. If I were to come to you before the Inoue Cardenas fight and say, "who do you think is better, Ramon Cardenas or Nick Ball", even if you don't like Ball you're going to say Ball. And right now, who do you think is better? Ball is not elite, he's not amazing, but you don't have to be elite to be a threat to an "elite" guy, especially one as reckless as Inoue. This is boxing, we've seen Inoue hurt multiple times now. The other guys at the top of the p4p list aren't nearly as reckless and aren't getting downed nearly as much, or at all. Inoue can box well when he wants to, but what he wants to lately is crash the pocket like he's fucking edgar berlanga crushing cans. It's embarrassing and if he keeps doing that shit he's gonna lose.
