Naoya so good he made America pay attention to these tiny weight classes
Without googling I bet you couldn’t even name nobody
👂🏼 💯
@@jamess8477 yeah but he tell The Truth🤣 1 of 3 The 2× Undisputed Champ and The Most Active Boxer in The Planet😭
@@jamess8477you could say the shit for every weight class. Pointless comment
Fighting 6th graders ain't nothing to brag about. He should move up to 130 and test some real action out.
We only have 4 more years to watch this greatest warrior fight
God grant eternal youth to Naoya Inoue
he fights twice a year so that's a bonus!
It could be 6 hopefully.
Why only 4 more years? What he gon do then?
@@hdrkn5247 because most boxers start to decline after 35-37yrs old. Unless you fight defensive like floyd and canelo then it'll be easier to keep fighting but inoue is more offensive then defensive. Plus he fights the best back to back so that will def take a toll on you
@@droptopp3479yeah Hoped he will still Boxes Until 37 y.o
I love Inoue Maaan this guy is P4P
Me too love the Monster 👍 he's beast 💪
Inoue is inside the head of all his haters and critics, living rent free.

Damn Inoue in America let’s shut all the haters up
he is already There 3 times Brother😭🤣
😂😂😂😂 stop
Who has he fought in America worth a dam? He's fighting 6th graders.
井上に興味がない人は見なければ良いでしょう（笑）
ライアンガルシアが人気者になるような国で戦う意味が分からないですよ。
at this point is more profitable for him to fight in japan, why would he fight in usa?
Thank you champ! I really appreciate your response in an honest manner🙏
Thank you Mark and Ikushima-san for your great interview and interpretation too😊
Naoya is like the shohei of baseball. Hes one of the best in the league. Hopefully he gets way more attention in the US and UK
My number one idol in Boxing Monster🦖🦖🦖 Naoya Inoue
日本でアイドルとは歌って踊るティーンのことです。
What a humble and respectful dude - when you see him here you’d never think he’s got a full highlight reel of stunning KOs
Gotta love his humility, another great boxer and great man like Usyk
Crawford?
@@gypsyman1939what about him? He doesn’t stay active as Usyk and Inoue.
The fact that he challenged the very best in every weight class he competed in ..makes him extremely desirable to follow and admire..No ducking No hiding..He relishes a challenge
he duck prime dangerous johnriel casimero
He is scared jonriel casimero
also, no tune up fights, straight to the killers
@@probinsyanongpanadero Hes’ not your idol is scared to have a repeat loss to Sultan as he refused a rematch!
@@ggmode9819 He Casimero & his brother was the one that made the fight cancelled!
Inoue one the best in the world! 🇯🇵
I can agree with that. One of them, certainly.
Very intense guy and likable, immense power of concentration.
All hail naoya… first time I saw him fight was in the WBSS and was hooked ever since
日本人としてありがとう
His way of speaking sounds really smart.
Go Japan! 🇯🇵 admiring their polite behavior and discipline! Show to the world the best of Japan!
LOVE SEEING NAOYA INOUE IN AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually that's the fifth time that he went in the US now!
Probably there for a two week training camp too, hopefully
@@PjYogiBear Will he be in NYC for 2 weeks?? I live in NYC wish I can go see him😄
@@leodegariozagado6558 to visit or to fight? His very comfortable in his home land.
@@user-wr9lh4ly1n 😀
I don't actually know. All's I know is that he said in an interview after his previous first short training camp at Freddie Roaches gym that he'd definitely be back to do another. Could be back at Wildcard, but he might go for something different. He's known Ishmael Salas since his amateur days, so Vegas might be a natural choice. Salas knows South East and East Asian fighters mindsets like no other trainers. Even married to a Japanese so communication a little easier. Plenty good sparring partners with different styles for Inoue to sample there too..
He is 100% legit. 😎👍
THIS DUDE IS THE REAL NUMBER 1 POUND FOR POUND IN THE WORLD!
Over Usyk? Hell no!
No he’s not
@@isaiahcarroll3953 it's Just a Number🤣 by The Way USYK will Retire Soon and This ASIAN MAN will Continued His Reign😭
Usyk 1st
Inoue 2nd
Crawford 3rd
He’s definitely on the list but Crawford is number 1. Undefeated. And two time undisputed. Not to mention he beat the ever living hell out of Spence.
Good interview guys. The interviewer was so professional, good job! Naoya Inoue is def one of my favs! Tank too!
Why do they put a Puerto Rican flag in the background of Inoue poster picture . He is from Japan 😂😂😂
Lol smh
It's Puerto Rico week and that's the event he was invited

@@Modus888-if9yj Tell tank go fight Crawford first but of course he is chicken out.
Inoue won't rush moving up, no matter how many fighters at featherweight call him out. He will take his time.
That is what he is supposed to do.
Facts. Btw Black Flame is an awesome album haha
I say why don't they move down. Just saying. 🤷♂
@@balam8743 americans always wants others to adjust for them. These american fans boxers are dumb. They keep asking Inoue to move up but never said that their idol should move down.
Making money in the lower weights and giving opponents opportunities to make more money too! What a Champ!
This man. People overlooking the impact he has on the lower weights. But some people complain that he only fights in Japan. If you gotta go to Japan to make a few millions why not.
He is the best in the world at this moment in time. Respect.from the USA.
😂
Respect to you too
He’s a monster in the boxing world. It’s something special watching Inoue do his thing in the ring.
I am in the presence of greatness right now!!!!!!! #1 p4p

He's been the number 1 pound x pound for a while now. And l'm a great Crawford fan too...
Casimero fan girls are crying in the comment section 😂
I hate them mf they're just like Deontay Wilders, small brain and never speak bout stuff objectively
😂
Just like in church, they are in the cry room
Well to be fair inoue did duck him , it's not crying if it's facts & i'm an inoue fan
@IceColdRaspberryTea If you're an inoue fan then you'd know he didn't duck him inoue was willing to take a paycut to fight casimero and casimero and his team rejected it fool
I am Japanese. I'm happy to know that there are people outside of Japan who support him.
He has so much class. Not only in the ring but outside it. Coming from a country where people are so respectful and kind.
Let's go Naoya!
By the way, I'm a Japanese living in the states for a while, but his interpreter isn't good enough IMO. He speaks pretty fluent English but choice of words in Japanese is kind of poor, so Emglish listners are not really getting the exact messages from Naoya. His ENG to JPN translation is not good neither.
And this interpreter can't utilize his memo and tend to skip a lot of important details when translating in those two languages.
Has anyone noticed that?
By the way, his another "regular" interpreter, who is a lady is even worse...
Naoya is one of the best boxers from this era, so they should hire the best interpreter for him, so that the world can recognize him exactly as what he really is.
The best boxer of the world, Nayoa Inoue....❤️❤️
The Monster 👹
Naoya Inoue God gifted power man Handsham gentilman talented honesty handsham fighter in the world super God always wins wins
LETS GOOO NAKATANI VS INOUE MENTIONED! my fkng Dream Fight
Nakatani stands no chance against Naoya, he could beat Takuma the younger sibling though, I'd like to see them go toe to toe if they want to unify bantamweight
Tremendous fight. But might be too early for Nakatani to step in the ring with Inoue. And they might not cross paths in time as he's looking to unify at bantamweight while Inoue will soon be moving to Featherweight some time next year.
Nakatani is an excellent fight but Inoue is better than Nakatani in every respect: power, speed, footwork, offense, defense…
That would be a great fight in featherweight soon!
junto is at 118, inoue at 122. Inoue may move up to 126 by next year and nakatani may stick around at 118 for a while. I doubt they will ever meet up due to inoue moving on so quickly, he fights like 2-3 a year while nakatani only fights once. inoue getting to featherweight b4 we know it.
The die hards boxing fans and savants all know that Inoue deserves to be at the top of the P4P mountain. Understandable that Uysk should be #1 at the moment because cmon, he defeated one of the notorious giants of the heavyweight, Tyson Fury. But Inoue is truly becoming the people's champ in boxing. He's everything you want to see in a boxer. His skillset and IQ are off the charts. He only fights the best of the best in the weight division he competes in and the most impressive thing is that he does it in back to back fights...within a matter of months. I get that many of these boxers fight to provide for themselves and family but Inoue goes beyond chasing greatness, laying down his undefeated record every single fight, knocking everyone tf out, entertaining fans and boxers from all over the globe, and making a whole lot of money that so many boxers dream of ever obtaining. Now that is the gold standard of boxing. Not no bs slick style run and tap boxing like Mayweather or ducking the fights that need to happen like Crawford. Every boxers need to start watch and learn from Inoue because he's doing it all. Making a whole lot of money, entertaining fans with his skills and performance, beating all the best fighters, winning world titles and continue making history in the sport of boxing. The monster is that motor in today's era that is reviving the sport of boxing.
everyone hating in inoue cause he's chinese if he was black or Mexican ppl would be cheering for him
@@killingspree15Correction, Japanese!
Nah still fight lower division at his age like donaire got old but scared to go up because cant compete the same in lower division. Fight all the best 135 to 140lbs
@@xioopgu see that’s why your considered one of those ignorant boxing fans. Inoue only fight the top fighters in his weight division. He started fighting at 108 lbs and destroyed the next 4 weight division. He’s going to be fighting in his 5th weight division next year but you think he’s not great cause he gotta move up and fight at 135-140 which is 3-4 weight division from where he’s currently fighting at. Just cause you only follow the dead dream Haney and run lil scared Shakur, doesn’t mean fighting at 135-140 makes you the best fighter. You don’t see Haney going up and fighting Canelo. Weight classes matter. Your logic is saying that Inoue is his career has to fight in his 8th weight class in order to be considered great. Dumb comment. Even the best fighters at 135-140 (Tank and Teo) already recognized Inoue as their favorite fighter of this generation.
@@xioopgu So Inoue gotta be like PacMan and fight in his 7th and 8th weight division to be relevant. Might as well tell Shakur Stevenson and Devin Haney to go up and fight Canelo just to get their asses knocked out. Inoue started fighting at 108 and bouta to move up to his 5th weight class. Shakur only fought in 3 weight classes and doesn't even look good at 135.
Have never seen much attention again to these “lighter divisions” since Pacquiao and Nonito Donaire in the late 2000’s. I’m so glad that we at least have a beast in the FW div.
This man is a legit tank destroyer.
Naoya should fight in Los Angeles a few times at dodger stadium or another place in LA. If shohei ohtani does a ring walk with him, their popularity would explode
Inoue is #1 p4p.
I hope Inoue and his team stays consistent and brave throughout this and what's ahead. As he gets bigger and bigger it become a lot more political, business, and branding. It can be really tiring and annoying dealing with press and all the nonsense. I hope they get to keep their heads straight and sharpened and not let all the noise and bullshit wear them out.
Very well said bro #respect#
Usyk is espn's top pfp but imo, these lower weight classes are more exciting than heavyweights 🤷
i said what i said
yeah heavy weight is boring asf you're spitting facts. Lower weight class is more fun to watch
@@Sauce-ke Heavyweights are slow af, most only rely on power. In that weight class, most of the time, one punch seals the deal. In lower weight classes, beat up is systematic. Speed with power are vital
Inoue Is the p4p
Naoya Inoue my 🥇 idol and number 🥇 p4p King 👑
Inoue vs Nakatani would be absolutely 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Japanese on Japanese won't make money or be recognized on a global level. IMO, the man has to continue fighting the Blacks and Latinos. And the Monster should definitely go after the Russians and Ukrainians.

Omgahhhhh I’m so happy to find this❤ thank you espn for having him on the interview テレビにちょっとだけど出たんだね！！こんな出演見れて感激
Fun fact:The only 3 fighters to ever win undisputed champion in 2 weight classes in the 4 belt era,are also the top 3 p4p.
INOUE! INOUE! INOUE!
The next time Inoue fights in America will catapult his stardom EVEN MORE. I’m talking face of boxing after he beats Shu Shu!
He needs to get a world title first. Inoue only fights champions.
One of the best fighters currently, no argument with that.
Japanese are very humble people
If Naoya learned a little english and fought more in the states hed be the biggest thing since sliced bread. Hes already a legend in Japan i think with his style hed be huge in the US as well.
He is already a legend not just in Japan but many parts of the world where actually care about a boxer's ability and not showmanship/marketing. And if you have listened to the interview, you would know that Japan now has 10 current boxing champions which is more than any country including the US, so it's the other way around that maybe other fighters should fight in Japan instead.
@@YCHTT Listen i didnt need any snippy ass comments i was just stating that Inoue could be a guge star in the states as well. I dont need any lessons about boxing i have been deep into the sweet science since the 80s till current and also competed in amateurs when i was a younger man. Studied all the great fighters of the past to the present from London prize ring rules to The Marquis of Queensberry. And for your information Inoue is my favorite fighter, i just wish he would fight more in the US. Canelo did it, and look at him.
@@freedomlovingamerican5496 Roy Jones literally said Inoue is the INTERNATIONAL SUPERSTAR and the true P4P kings over Crawford being only an American superstar. You see the difference? World vs only the US? It's America's lost if they can't see a legend of boxing in Inoue not another way around. You can't compare Canelo Mexican fan base in the US and said that would work for Inoue. If you can't handle comments and being like a snowflake, get out of the Internet. And it's funny seeing your handle who claims "loving freedom."
So...whats so special about fighting in the states? please explain...
@@brettmartin9730 so they can steal his belts via corrupt judges.

The translator is terrible both in Japanese and English. Inoue should hire Ippei Mizuhara lol😂
First heard about this dude from Tyson. He truly is a hmongstar
As ever,he's keeping it humble and real.personally i think he'll do a defence or two at 122 then he'll move up and try and clean up there.
Inoue v Nakatani at 126 was the biggest fight in Japanese boxing history, if the could be happen in the future that will purcase Millions $$$ in japan.
Especially at the Tokyo Dome!!
Stop focusing on Canelo, Crawford, Spence etc..
The real Pound 4 Pound best fighter is Inoue...regardless of his lower weight class.
Just like Tyson says, "Inoue is a beast, a monster"!
Monster 0 is so good. He got the East Coast waking up for monday morning boxing. The feeling of watching the highest level of boxing so early with a cup of coffee instead of a warm Guinness 😅 is different.
Arigatōgozaimashita.🍃🥋
부럽다.. 한국도 챔피언이 나오면 좋겠다!
2:37 Inoue-“You’re looking at him”😂
NAOYA INOUE🇯🇵🗾
If yall bring up Bruce Carrington name again with Inoue idk what's wrong with yall. Dude a prospect & his performance tonight showed he's easy Work, FOOD!
Inoue would put Shu Shu in the blender lol
As of now I would never advise Shu to even think of Inoue unless he's thinking in future anyone saying Shu Shu beating Inoue is either a hater hoping and praying Inoue looses to an American fighter, a bitter Steph fan Ignorant the skill gap between the 2 is so wide Bruce has power patience timing Inoue has both to go with speed great IQ ring generalship he's well rounded with good defence.
If inoue spoke English his stock and fanbase would go way up. Future 3 division undisputed coming 💯
Unfortunately he’s not fighting for money so he will never learn. He’s fighting for legacy and the love of the sport.
80% of the negative comment on Inoue is from a poor coutry in south east asia which consits of more than 7000 islands.
In Brooklyn in the 80s and 90s I grew up above a local bar that was frequented by crews from all over Brooklyn. Brawls used to break out every weekend. Hands down the scariest dude was 5’-8 140 dripping wet but was ripped to shreds. Roided guys twice his size crumbled from his fists. Saw him uppercut a massive juice head out cold skull bounced off the concrete. Probably died in the ambulance. Speed kills.
The Monster 👹 🇯🇵
only boxer i would set alarm at 4am to wake up for in the morning to watch. phenomenal boxer.
He doesn’t look so small from this angle
it’s taken him a long time, it’s natural growth.
階級を上げ続ける上で、肉体増量を行っています。
Probably his walking around weight right now
baddest man on the planet
I’m glad he isn’t too humble here and saying he is the best. Enough of being polite like Japanese typically are.
He didn't say he was the best. He actually said he wants to get back on the #1position. He also said he was impressed by bud vs spenve fight.
The interpreter didn't say exactly what Naoya said.
He is pound for pound without a doubt.
Need more interesting questions.
Mark Krigel is a horrible interviewer
This weight class doesn't have that much attention. but Inoue fix that
クロフォード、スペンス戦への言及はリップサービスだね。
The light division is the best, fast, exciting and real boxing
He is really monster
Everyone around the world, Inoue and of course Nakatani are both really strong. I'm looking forward to it.
Yeah like many ppl in the comments say, he’s humble and it makes him greater. Wish I could marry this man
日本の宝です
The featherweight class is not a dangerous one, and not everyone can just move up to a higher and higher weight class. To do that, you need time to prepare your muscles, body shape, and weight. Preparation is important, and no one would be stupid enough to suddenly move up a weight class. On the other hand, if a featherweight fighter wants to fight Inoue so badly, can he go back to super bantamweight and fight Inoue right away? He probably can't. It's the same thing. It's obvious that he'll be defeated by Inoue in super bantamweight, so it's not a true champion to talk about things that are to his advantage.
Monster ☠️
Inoue got that Tony Soprano drip on fr
日本のインタビュアーと違ってアメリカのインタビューは、
井上選手へのリスペクトが感じられて素晴らしいですね、

以前からずっと気になっていたんだけど、井上尚弥にはもうちょっといい通訳をつけてあげてください
Why do they project Puerto Rican flag 🇵🇷 and not Japanese flag 🇯🇵??
The event today was for the Puerto Rico day parade in NY so that's just the theme.
My boy! Mr. Nice Guy, aka the Monster
YESIRRR HES BACK TO AMERICA!!
Hopefully he goes and wins one more weight division not many 5 weight champs
Nakatani doesn't move his head enough, and Inoue is good at fighting taller, bigger guys. Even if Nakatani improves his head movement, it's difficult to use head movement against a shorter, power puncher. Nakatani relies on his legs and combination punching as his defense, and Inoue can close the gap fast and punch with Nakatani, punching between Nakatani'spunches. If they fight, Inoue wins by KO!!
inoue is the most exciment fighter to be seen in the ring like manny pacquiao inoue is the next manny pacquiao except he never be the 8 division 8 world champion like manny but i like he fight like pacquiao but i think he fight the most powerfull fighter in other division we climb 🇯🇵🇵🇭💯
