Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Tapales for Unified Super Bantamweight Title - December 26
One month before the fight, here is the official poster,
However, I don't the video promotion though, there's no highlight for Tapales, he was just shown briefly when he steps on the ring after Inoue defeated Fulton.
Top Rank should have done better than this, https://twitter.com/trboxing/status/1729289372305084627

It looks like the one who created those highlights is biased, are they promoting Inoue too much? . That video doesn't look like the participants' match highlights but rather a promotional video for Inoue making an assumption that Inoue will win the upcoming fight.
It did come from the promotional company of Inoue, which is Bob Arum's Top Rank, and maybe they are obviously the one handling the marketing so they will have to put more emphasis on their boxer and not Tapales.
Anyway I am still curious about the preparation of Tapales for this fight, I really like to see Tapales have an upset win on this but still, I know that is very slim considering how very skilled and all-rounded fighter Inoue is.
Last time we discussed, Tapales has been training everywhere, and back in the Philippines and sparring heavy Filipino hitters like Mark Magsayo and other super bantamweight fighters. And with that, he is 101% on training focus on this fight, really going full because this is his biggest fight of his career and he is facing the Monster. Nevertheless, we shouldn't discount that he still might have a very little chance, but he had done it before, upsetting champion and being the underdog.
