Japanese superstar Naoya Inoue has been able to blow away all of his opponents so far in his career.
Currently with a professional record of 30-0, no one has been able to get the better of the ‘Monster’.
Despite Inoue being dropped in his last fight against Ramon Cardenas, he was able to recover to win the bout. The stoppage win was his 27th in his career, as Inoue continued his finishing streak.
In 2022, Inoue was able to showboat his way to a late stoppage in Japan, in what was his 24th career victory.
Naoya Inoue showboated his way to victory in 2022 against Paul Butler
After his victory over rival Nonito Donaire, Inoue required just one more belt to become undisputed world bantamweight champion.
Holding the WBA, IBF, and WBC World Bantamweight titles, Inoue targeted the WBO champion, Paul Butler from the United Kingdom.
Butler had a 34-2 record as he faced Inoue in his home country in June 2022. However, he would not have much success in the fight.
Winning all 10 completed rounds of the fight, Inoue was clearly leading the bout from the very start. As well as being on the front foot, Inoue was showboating throughout the unification bout.
From standing with his hands by his sides, to tying his arms behind his back, Inoue was seemingly in his element against Butler.
Then, in the 11th round, Butler would be stopped in the fight. A barrage of punches from Inoue would see Butler eventually crumble. Unable to make it back to his feet, Butler was waved off in the fight.
Naoya Inoue has finished all but two of his opponents
Inoue’s incredible finishing ability has earned him the title of the greatest fighter that Bob Arum has ever seen. Across 30 professional fights, there have been just two men to survive the ‘Monster’s’ power.
In his fourth professional fight in 2013, Inoue would be taken the distance by Ryoichi Taguchi, winning via unanimous decision.
The second time Inoue heard the final bell was in 2016. Fighting David Carmona, Inoue would once again win via decision.
Inoue would go all 12 rounds with Donaire in 2019. However, their 2022 rematch would end in a second-round knockout win for Inoue.
