And there are still rumors that he might still have one fight left at this division, so after Goodman, he could be facing another great contender, but let's see. I do hold Bob Arum's statement though, as he knows how to promote and make Inoue great in the US, just like how he brought Manny Pacquaio and then make him a household name by careful matchmaking although Manny has already had that talent already.

I'd like to correct you that it was not Bob Arum who brought Paquiao in the US and arranged his fight against Ledwaba; it was Murad Muhammad who arranged the fight when Enrique Sandchez, the supposed opponent of Ledwaba, got injured. Pacquiao was a replacement for that title fight. He was about to go home in the Philippines when he got a phone call that he would fight for the title; he won the title with only 7 days of training.
Arum only came later after Pacquiao was already a household name.

Yeah, but technically it was not Murad who make Pacquiao a household name. And so that is what I'm saying here, the Bob Arum has the formula and blue print already and probably this is only the reason why he did want to bring Inoue in the USA. Already Inoue's name is already big, but the center of boxing is in the US and for sure Inoue an even surpassed Manny as the biggest in Asia if he will just go and fight outside of Japan.

With this fight, I'm thinking that I might go under 7.5 rounds here.

Sam doesn't have the power and then Inoue is going to be too fast for him. Not sure what other boxing fans are thinking here, others might agree or disagree with me regarding which rounds will Inoue stop Goodman.
