After finishing the weigh-in, Inoue held up both fists and faced Moloney with the Australian flag. Ready. A certain confidence oozes from the eyes that nodded a little.
The ring for the first time in 359 days since November last year. In April, a three-group unification match with WBO class champion Kasimero was decided once, but postponed due to the evil influence of Corona, and landed in this match against Moloney. A one-year blank during the peak period. However, that period turned into an important day for Inoue to face himself.
“He wants to get strong.” I’ve been struggling with that simple thought. The “Monster Legend” that began with the capture of the world title in the sixth professional career at that time in Japan. For about 12 years, he dragged the famous champion Narvaes, who reigned on the world throne, with KO twice, and achieved second-class conquest. Looking for a strong opponent, never making flashy performances. The appearance of showing everything in the ring has received wide support beyond the limits of boxing fans.
In November of last year, he fought a fierce battle against fifth-class champion Donaire, who was selected as the best fight of the year in the main world media, and won the World Boxing Super Series (WBSS), which decides the strongest in the cock class. After the game, he signed a multi-year contract with a major American promotional company. from here-. Immediately after that, he was aware of the large-scale overseas expansion.
Inoue turned 27 in April when the sound of the ring disappeared around the world. Eight years have passed since he made his professional debut at age 19. He has eight years left until he is 35, which has announced his retirement. Helping with time, I looked at myself standing at the tipping point from a distant point of view. What I felt was not the praise and applause that overflowed around me, but the little “uncomfortable feeling” that I had felt since the war with Donea.
Compared to my twenties, my recovery from exhaustion was slower and I began to feel a slight change in the sensation of moving my body during combat. But that sentiment is by no means pessimistic. “How do you manage your body as you approach your 30s?” Accepting the present, thinking, looking to the future, we arrive.
Since I was 6 years old, I have been crying and eating because of my father’s teachings. The attitude of facing boxing has not changed at all, even after gaining fame. What I pursued was “corrective power that does not allow even 1%.” Even a slight feeling of discomfort etched itself into my chest if I didn’t put it off. I increased the number of times I watched videos of foreign players who had been rejected before and asked my senior, Mr. Yaegashi, to teach me how to train to stimulate the brain. Fine and courteous. I’ve been particular about “100%” myself.
In preparation for the debut match in Las Vegas, which was positioned as “Chapter 2,” we spent more time than ever investigating our opponents and worked closely with the coaches on how to place, receive, and time the gloves. Assuming unsupervised play for the first time, I turned off the music during practice and consulted with President Ohashi about my gym’s interval time, asking him to change the previous 40 seconds to the same minute as the game.
Inoue says. “No matter how much you praise, you will not be strong.” Keep an eye on everything about you. I’ve been taking care of my feet, so I returned to the ring for the first time in a year, with a figure that seems to have evolved more. It shows the battle that only Inoue can do in a holy place where the eyes of the world are focused.[Masashi Okuyama]
