Awesome body shots from Inoue
Well I anticipated this from Inoue but still impressive how he managed to break this dude down with those hooks to the body.
As always, them left hooks to the body were money!
A boxer with very powerful hands. Almost each punch was a power one and with consequences. Boyeaux was brave but with no chances at all since Inoue is a much more solid boxer.
This is a monster from Japan.
Can’t wait to see him in 2018, and I hope it’s often!
