Nery, a heavy underdog, has described Inoue as “overrated, over-confident and ordinary\u201d – but the champion\u2019s accolades say otherwise.<\/p>\n
Inoue has lived up to the moniker \u2018kaibutsu\u2019 – translated to \u2018the monster\u2019 – bestowed upon him by gym owner and former world champion Hideyuki Ohashi after just one fight.<\/p>\n
He is a four-weight world champion and the only male fighter – after Terence Crawford – to become undisputed in two weight classes.<\/p>\n
\u201cInoue does pretty much everything very, very well. He has crazy power but his technique is flawless and his balance is sublime. These are hall of fame attributes,\u201d Jones says.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut that power – he carries it throughout. He can knock you out in round one or knock you out in round 12. He can even take a good shot.\u201d<\/p>\n
Southpaw Nery is himself a two-division champion and has just one blemish on his record – a stoppage loss to Brandon Figueroa in 2021.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a good and fun fight\u201d Jones says. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t be surprised if it goes late but with the power in his right hand, I think Inoue will win inside the distance.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jones expects Inoue to move up to featherweight and has identified the winner of WBC champion Ray Ford or Nick Ball – who fight in Riyadh on 1 June – as a potential next opponent.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you move up in weight, your reputation precedes you and I fancy Inoue against either of them,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom there on, an undisputed title in a third division would undoubtedly put him as an all-time great.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
