Not the most thrilling matchup, considering how dominant Inoue is in this division. But since it's happening, I guess we’ve got no choice but to talk about it. This is yet another title defense for Inoue, with Goodman stepping in as a likely mandatory challenger. Goodman’s unbeaten, but he doesn’t pack much power, only 8 KOs in 19 wins. I haven’t watched his highlights yet, but if he’s anything like other Aussie boxers I’ve seen, he’s probably a slugger. If he's not careful, this fight could end early, with Inoue scoring a KO.

Yes, he is ranked number 1 by WBO and and IBF, and you are right, he doesn't have that power and so it will be an easy fight for Inoue as he had a good chin although it has been broken already by Luis Nery. However, I do not think that Goodman power is enough to rock him in this fight. And probably this is the reason why they chooses him instead of Casimero or even Murodjon Akhmadaliev.
As for the 126 lbs, you should also look at Angelo Leo. I think this is really a good fight for Inoue if he really wanted to test the best of featherweight division.
But as others have said, this fight will not last that longer, maybe under 8 rounds if Inoue really wanted to show off in Christmas. And I'll probably stay away from betting here unless there is a better odds for Inoue.
