Maybe Inoue’s trying to beat Casimero’s first-round TKO. Let’s see how it goes. Cheesy

Nothing against Sam Goodman, but I believe this is just a stay-busy fight for Naoya Inoue. Experience-wise, the Japanese Monster clearly has the advantage, as Sam Goodman’s resume and the opponents he has faced are mostly unremarkable. However, I don’t think this will end in the first round. Inoue will likely be more cautious than ever to avoid repeating the mistakes he made against Luis Nery. Betting on the fight lasting under 6.5 rounds might be a good idea.

Right, he just want to be active as we say, before he can go up to featherweight division. And if for those who haven't seen Goodman, he is somewhat slow at this division, he might be tough, but his style is perfect for Inoue to counter and then score another knockout win.

It will be interesting to see what the strategy of Inoue, I'm seeing him attacking the body of Goodman early here and then goes for the head if it is ready to be taken off. I haven't check the odds if this is listed already or not, but yeah, 6.5 under might be a good idea if the odds is going to be that interesting.

But Goodman slow fighting style gives him good strength in stronger body resistance to every opponent blow, his body is hard and that why he is an undefeated fighter, it might be very sensational fight because Inoue with his hard punches and Goodman with his body like rock.

If he has trained his body then maybe he is going to be a tough cookie to break. But we all know that Inoue is also a body snatcher, although in his last couple of fights, he is head hunting as he wanted to knock people out. But he still takes on the body, so soften them up before attacking the head. Simply but very effective for him. And if you will notice, him and his brother Takuma loves to take that body away.

Honestly, as time goes by I think it impossible for Inoue to win by KO, maybe he will only win by decision if he continues to put pressure and more punches go into Goodman body or face.

Maybe when he moves up to 126 lbs, wherein boxer are typically bigger and natural at that weight, it might be very hard to Inoue to knock them out and we still don't know if he can carry his power in that weight class. But here against Sam Goodman, he could still pack the power that we have seen him all throughout his campaign in this division and the consensus is that he will win by knockout again.
