Naoya Inoue vs Marlon Tapales Betting Pick
The best offshore sportsbooks are heavily favoring Naoya Inoue to secure an emphatic 23rd knockout on Boxing Day, as he faces former fellow unified super-bantamweight champion Marlon Tapales.
It is clear to see why this is the case, given the fact that he is the single most fearsome puncher in boxing pound-for-pound. Inoue is already a four-weight world champion, as well as boasting one of the most impressive knockout ratios in the sport of boxing.
Here at SportsLens, we think ‘Monster’ will add yet another knockout to his resumé and become undisputed king at 122-pounds. Boxing fans though Inoue was in for a real tough night against Stephen Fulton last time out in his first fight at super-bantamweight, however he made it look easy, beating Fulton at a canter.
Tapales is of course a world class fighter, but that simply isn’t enough when facing Inoue. Inoue is elite, not just world class. His punching power, speed, accuracy, timing, boxing IQ and footwork is second to none.
Tapales has been stopped twice in his three defeats, by fighters far les spiteful and powerful than Naoya Inoue. We can see the Japanese boxing superstar becoming undisputed champion in a second weight class after securing a knockout in the early to mid rounds of the fight.
