Naoya Inoue (29-0, 26 food) is defending his undisputed Super Bantamweight title tonight against #8 IBF ranks Ramon Cardenas (26-1, 14 COs) that many fans consider a full maladjustment in the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The right gem on this map is WBO springweight champion Rafael Espinoza (26-0, 22 COs) who defends against Edward Vazquez (17-2, 4 COs) in the main support match. Welterweight contender Rohan Polanco (15-0, 10 food) fights Fabian Maidana (24-3, 18 COs) in a 10 round.

Tonight’s Inoue-Cardenas Main is shown Live on ESPN and ESPN+, start at 22:00 Et / 19:00 pt. The preliminary map was started on ESPN+ at 18:15 ET / 15:15 pt.
Fans consider this struggle as unilaterally in favor of Japanese superstar inoue. Cardenas are not a big puncher and have never fought anyone almost as talented or as powerful as ‘Monter’ inoue. While Cardenas won his last 14 fights, his opposition was mostly low-level tomato can.
Fans are angry with Inoue because they have chosen Cardenas to fight in the US instead of Murodjon Akhmadaliev or Alan David Picasso. Some people believe it is intentional on Inoue and his management’s part, which holds him with mediocre opposition. It is a self -destructive move on Naoya’s side, but it may not matter to him. He is rich and has a big fan in Japan.
