Naoya Inoue vs Ramon Cardenas prediction

Naoya Inoue is one of the top pound-for-pound superstars for a reason. He sends opponents flying with his power. And apart from Luis Nery, no one has ever been able to put Inoue in trouble, Despite getting dropped in that fight, Inoue came back in style to win.

Cardenas, meanwhile, is on a upward trajectory with 14 consecutive wins. He is technican with good fundamentals. However, is not a knockout artist who can potentially threaten Inoue.

Cardenas will look to establish his range and stay away from Inoue's power early in the rounds. However, he might not be able to gain the respect to stop Inoue from eventually progressing. The Japanese superstar might look to go body-head and earn yet another spectaculat finish.

Inoue should get the job done with a finish and that too around the halfway point of the fight.

Winner: Naoya Inoue by knockout
