Naoya Inoue Michael Dasmarinas presses TKO with body shot, wants to shoot in indisputable situation next time

While living with the turnover of the Japanese “Monster” Naoya Inoue, on Saturday she directed the corpse of the obligatory challenger Michael Dasmarinas in the relentless destruction of the drilling force.

Inoue (21-0, 17 KOs), a 118-pound joint champion, scored a trio shot from the back of the back hook on his WBA and IBF weight bantam titles in the third round of the Virgin Hotel. Las Vegas.

In Japan, Inoue qualified for the pound after continuing his attack on the United States after signing with the Top Rank and watching his fights regularly on ESPN. The 28-year-old champion of the three levels dominated. According to CompuBox, Dasmarina scored 65% of his total fists 48 and 40 away, and 17 and 5 in terms of body shots.

“Against a No. 1 fighter like Dasmarinas, I think I’ve had a big win,” Inou said through a translator. “I like to prepare to get out with a blow to the head or a body shot. I can’t prepare [for a specific one]. I’m very happy to be in the playoffs. ”

Inoue started with a lot of patience against Dasmarinas (30-3-1, 20 KOs), a 28-year-old southern pair from the Philippines. In the 2nd round he started to open a little more to the body when a beautiful left hook hit the floor of the Dasmarinas, until the body shots hit the final bell.

“On the first lap, I wanted to see what he had depending on how he came out,” Inou said. “After a while, I started to feel like I could get out.”

Inoue threw the Dasmarinas for the second time to open the 3rd round with a body shot. Moments later, another left hook finally fell as Judge Russell Mora jumped in to count down the fight at 0:15 of the round.

Victory sets Inoue up for a potential shot to become the undisputed 118-pound champion. Graduates John Riel Casimero and Nonito Donaire will meet on August 14 to fight the tough Philippine champions and both want Inoue for the four recognized world titles.

“Winning gives me a smile, but being able to fight the winner of Casimero and Donaire also brings me another smile,” Inou said.

Asked which fighter he prefers to face, Inou just smiled. Donaire decided, in the 2019 union fight, that he would get the honors as an annual fight. Inou broke his nose and orbital bone in the fight and forced Donaire to rise from his body shot in the final round to end the fight.

“I think it’s horrible, [my preference] It would be Donaire II, ”Inou said.

Donaire (41-6, 27 KOs), a surprising 38-year-old, attended Saturday, as did Casimero.

“I have to give Dasmarinas the most respect because I’ve been there, I know how he feels and they hurt. I’ve kept getting up but it’s a huge blow,” Donair said. “I thought so [Inoue] looks great. It’s very powerful and I thought it had improved. It’s awesome to see it grow. I was shocked.

“We’ve always had mutual respect. When he was growing up, he looked at me. We always had that brotherhood, but at the same time it was competition. Some may call it crazy for things but I love that. I fight and I want to do that again. It motivates me and motivates me. it wakes me up in the morning and I can’t wait to be there again. ”

Casimero (30-4, 21 KOs) praised Inoue’s performance, but remains confident in his options.

“I saw that Dasmarinas gave Inoue too much respect but it was a great experience to watch [Inoue] Directly, “Casimero said.” At the moment, my focus is on Donaire and I will do his best to win the fight against him. After that, I’ll take care of Inoue. ”
