It's time for these two, to fight it out for undisputed junior featherweight championship.
I'm picking Inoue to win by knockout against Tapales, he's the better overall fighter, and puncher.
He won't be denied of achieving this latest goal, the only question is will he move up in weight to challenge for the featherweight championship.

Not saying its bad or anything, but Inoue just wearing a T-shirt while Tapales is wearing a winter jacket in the same room looks so awkward.

Being fair for a guy who spent the past month training in PI, Japan must be very cold right now...

Tamales is food

Inoue will continue to show that there are "levels to this game".

How can we watch this in the UK?

Arum is amazing for a 92 year old - to still be involved in a business at ANY level - never mind as the figurehead of one of the biggest boxing promoters in the world and travelling around the world - that said, in the last year I've noticed he takes longer to answer questions and speaks more slowly

I'd like to see him stay at 122 and dominate for a few fights - then move up and fight someone more or less his own size - not that 6ft 1" freak of nature who beat Ramirez

Awesome year for boxing fans and an awesome fight to end the year.
