Naoya inoue inoue hits Kim in round 4 in the Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan, on ESPN+
Inoue vs. Kim: Round 4
Well, it didn’t take long. Inoue, as sharp as ever, dominated the fourth round with clinical precision. He supported Kim at a corner and cut off every corner, and the South Korean simply couldn’t find a way out. Counters relentlessly beat him and left no doubt about who controlled the fight.
The moment of Doom comes with a sick left hook to the body that echoes through the arena. Kim, desperate to show a little bravado, has aroused inoues ahead – a daring movement for a man who has already drowned. InCe obliged with a devastating right hand that causes Kim to descend and leave no need for a score. Spell about.
Inoue vs. Kim: Round 3
Inoue is turning it into a target exercise and breaking down kim methodically with evil combinations. Those samples clap Kim’s head back, and the relentless right hands to the body take their toll. The man’s right eye swells like a warning light, but he still tries – his heart – to fire his heart back with some desperate left benches. Spoiler: It doesn’t work.
Kim is stuck on the ropes, a sitting duck while inoue was shot on a shot at the shot. The body swing is busy with authority, and there is no way Kim can absorb much more of this. He is on borrowed time.
While the third round closes, the intensity cranks even further. The champion is now moving to high equipment, and you have to wonder: Will it end in fourth place, or do Kim survive in some way to see another round of destruction?
Inoue vs. Kim: Round 2
Naoya Inoue puts on a clinic, determines the pace fully and shows Kim exactly why he lies leagues. A sharp right hand to the body near the ropes caused the crowd to falter, their “oohs” and “aahs” corresponding to the accuracy of each shot the champion countries have.
Kim, bless him, try to hang there and even drive a single counter in the midst of the chaos. But let’s really be – one shot is not going to stop the relentless pressure of inoue. A valve left hook and a chopping right followed and hammered the inevitable home. The only real tension remaining is whether Kim’s angle will save him before inoues decide to end it himself.
Inoue vs. Kim: Round 1
Well, that’s exactly what we expected – a total mismatch. Kim looks like a deer in headlights, barely moving while inoue takes it apart with ease. The ‘sample’ is already loading out exact shots, and you can hear the clock practically taping on how much longer Kim will last.
Inoue’s dominance is striking, and it feels more like a public sparring session than a fight. 10-9 inoue, but let’s be honest-it won’t be long before Kim’s flat is on the canvas.

Naoya Inoue has just made his entrance like the king he is, who descends on an increased platform to remind the world that owns the ring.
Let’s not get here ourselves. Kim is not here to win; He is here to survive – and even that’s a piece. Against a power like inoue, it is not if he is knocked out; That’s when. So let’s have fun with this. When will Kim hit the cloth?
Drop your predictions. My money is on round 3 – if inoue feels generous.
