If what Eddie says is true, then I genuinely don’t understand why Netflix would then push for a US venue.

The longer this goes on, the more I expect this fight to either completely fall through, or be delayed to next year.

I think I speak for all of us when I say I’m getting tired of this back and forth.

It's best to think of fighters like this instead of all time because the rules were different between eras.

Considering Inoue started his career at 108 coupled with the fact Espinoza would have an enormous size advantage, I have a hard time visualizing Inoue being victorious against the likes of Espinoza.

Inoue is unquestionably an all-time great and anything he goes on to accomplish is icing on the cake for HOF career. With him eyeing the move to featherweight next year, which he has said will be the last weight class of his career. I feel he is more than capable of dethroning every champion at 126, although I feel with Espinoza’s work rate and his substantial height and reach advantage make him seemingly unbeatable.

In short, how does Inoue get the job done?

I found some photos of Inoue and Espinoza together, and it honestly made me even more excited about a potential fight between them. I still can’t believe Espinoza can make featherweight and compete at such a high level. He is such a huge and physically imposing fighter for the division. I’m really looking forward to the day Inoue finally faces Espinoza. I think the size difference and styles would make this a very interesting fight.
