Question from Readers:
Inoue Naoya mentioned he struggled, yet he won by KO in the 8th round. What does that mean?
Reflecting on Inoue’s Match
Watching Inoue Naoya’s recent match left me with a lot to think about. Many must be wondering how he could say he “struggled” yet still achieve a KO victory in the 8th round. During the fight,
it was clear he faced challenges, just as he did in his previous match against Neri. With him moving up in weight classes, his opponent’s punches were likely stronger. Still, I felt that Inoue’s boxing is truly in a league of its own. His movements exuded a refined beauty, and each moment of his attacks was genuinely thrilling to witness. However, it’s also true that he took some dangerous hits this time. The immense expectations from those around him might be contributing to the pressure he feels. What would be considered “strong” boxing from an ordinary fighter is assessed as “struggling” when it comes to Inoue. It really made me realize how special his presence is.
The Joy of Watching Boxing
As I watched the match, I was reminded of the time I went to watch boxing with friends. Before the match, I overindulged in snacks at the venue, leaving my stomach full by the time the fight started. Once the match began, my friend and I cheered loudly, and by the end, we were both filled with smiles. I believe the essence of boxing lies in those moments. Inoue’s match was one of those special moments for me. Seeing him in the ring evokes a certain emotion, reaffirming the allure of the sport. I’m looking forward to his next fight. I would love to hear from readers about their own memories or special moments from watching boxing or sports. I’m excited to read any stories you share!
