Naoya Inoue vs Murodjon AKhmadaliev prediction

Inoue promises action and his last fight against Cardenas was a treat for the fans. From 108 lbs to 122 lbs, Inoue has kept up his KO streak and is arguably the most entertaining boxer in the world. Akhmadaliev, meanwhile, is a regular 122 lbs fighter and he feels that will play a part in the fight.

Akhmadaliev said ahead of the fight:

"I can hurt anyone with my punches, and I believe in my power, and I can deliver it, too. He's not an exception. My job is to beat him, and I will do everything in my power to do that. I have the whole package to compete at the highest levels in any department."

Akhmadaliev has power and Inoue gets hit, meaning things might get interesting. That said, Inoue is way more experienced. While Akhmadaliev might land shots on Inoue, 'The Monster' is a sharp-shooter. When he connects clean, it usually leaves his opponents with spaghetti legs.

It might take Inoue a bit of time to figure Akhmadaliev out. However, he should do it as the fight progresses and eventually land a trademark body shot before getting the finish up top.

Prediction: Naoya Inoue by seventh round KO
