After 34 years from the time of welcoming Mike Tyson to play, the new Tokyo Dome Stadium continued to hold a boxing event. This shows the expectations of Japanese boxing fans for Naoya Inoue, who is considered the strongest boxer in the world at the present time.
The competition started in the way that no one expected. Luis Nery did what no boxer succeeded in a match against Naoya Inoue: punching “monster”. Nery even did this in the first half of the match, and made Inoue unexpectedly the most difficult start ever.
However, the first half ended was also the time when Inoue returned to the inherent performance. He punched Nery in the second, 5th and 6th half. At the time Nery fell for the third time, this boxer could not stand up anymore. The referee decided to stop the match and recognize the victory for Inoue.
The Knock-out technical victory in the 6th half belonged to Inoue, and he continued to hold the unbeaten champion with the achievement table of Toan Thang. Inoue can continue to stay in the Super Bantamweight weight, before coming to larger classes.
Also on the day Naoya Inoue successfully defended 4 championship belts, his younger brother Takuma Inoue also won. After Naoya weighed on the Super Bantamweight, Takuma took the Bantamweight WBA belt and had 2 successful protection in the past year.
