Question from a reader:
Why are Naoya Inoue’s opponents always such strong fighters? Can you tell me the reason?
The Strength of Naoya Inoue’s Opponents
Every time I watch a match featuring Naoya Inoue, I am reminded of just how incredible a fighter he is. When I came across the question about why his opponents are always so strong, I couldn’t
help but nod in agreement.
Reflecting His Own Will
First and foremost, I believe it’s because Inoue himself desires to fight strong opponents. Watching his matches, it’s clear that he wants to win not just by a simple margin, but to dominate his opponents. He seems to test himself in the ring, approaching each fight with full effort, which is truly inspiring. In fact, the fighters he faces are all top-tier competitors in their respective weight classes. In this context, we are reminded of just how much skill Inoue possesses. Behind his strength lies an immense amount of effort and experience that perhaps we don’t fully appreciate.
The Difference from Other Fighters
I recalled an interesting episode. When I went to watch a boxing match with a friend, he said, “It must be tough for Inoue to fight such strong opponents.” I replied, “On the contrary, by dominating these strong opponents, Inoue is proving his own abilities.” My friend laughed and said, “That’s an interesting perspective!” Indeed, fighting strong opponents likely contributes to Inoue’s own growth as a fighter.
The Importance of Technique
Additionally, when watching Inoue’s matches, his style of winning by showcasing high-level techniques rather than merely aiming for a decision is striking. This, in turn, makes it extremely captivating for viewers. After each match, I find myself eagerly anticipating, “What will the next fight be like?” When I watch boxing, I pay attention not only to the victory itself but also to how much technique is being employed. Inoue’s ability to fight in his appropriate weight class and dominate is truly remarkable.
