Naoya Inoue vs. Marlon Tapales: How to Stream, Betting Odds and Fight Card
On Tuesday, December 26, Naoya Inoue (25-0, 22 KOs) will take on Filipino fighter Marlon Tapales (37-3, 19 KOs) at the Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan for the WBA, WBC, WBO and IBF world super bantamweight titles. Japanese superstar Inoue returns to the ring for the first time since he destroyed Stephen Fulton in eight rounds.
“The Monster” is one of the most fearsome fighters on the planet, with devastating KO power, as he has shown throughout his professional career. His hand speed is another impressive asset, alongside his precision, which helps make him a fearsome opponent. The Japanese fighter also has superb conditioning and ring IQ, which ensure he maintains a constant work rate and power throughout his fights, as he showed in his eleventh-round KO of Paul Butler.
Tapales has good footwork and will need to utilise this asset to stay out of Inoue’s range. He also has a solid jab and will need to use this to control the distance and potentially frustrate his heavy-handed opponent. The Filipino fighter has to improve on his impressive showing against Murodjon Akhmadaliev to trouble his all-conquering opponent. Can Tapales spring a surprise?
