Fun fact: Jason Maloney has fought 5 times since this bout and has won every single one. He even won his most recent match with a broken right hand. Maloney's a true warrior.
-
its amazing to watch the foot work, fencing like moves in-out. beautiful.
-
Kudos to Moloney. He is a fighter, and he has a lot of heart. Full respect.
-
Naoya inoue is the next level of boxer. He is incomparable to anyone
-
My goodness, inoue absolutely picked him apart, what a perfect performance, a great boxer to learn from, amazing

Nn the final minute of Round 7 Inoue is constantly throwing jabs to bait reactions from Maloney with his jab. Jab, Jab, Jab, looking at how Maloney reacts and looks for an opening. Everytime he jabs or throws a right he notices that Maloney counters with his own Jab. The exchange before the KO he has a high guard, level changes, throws a jab -> jab -> jab. On the KO he does the same high guard, does the same level change, waits an extra beat, and then throws the right straight. In round 7 he rested for a minute in a half, conditioned Maloney for 40 seconds by upping his activity and working him to a frenzy, and hit him up with a bait and switch. Inoue is a freaking genius.

Inoue - speed, accuracy, power. Basically magnificant!
-
This is a special kind of fighter, I don't think he should be compared to any other fighter he is unique and I love watching his skill in the ring.
-
Naoya's punches were very peculiar. He punched without giving out any signal of what is coming. Look at the knock out punch at the end. He is an awesome boxer. Maloney has given all he can. Good fight!
-
My favorite fighter . His fist shakes the brains of enemies and my heart .
-
we need more Inoue in the states
-
この試合は好きな試合だ。マロニーは井上をパンチを浴びながらも逃げることなく向かって行き少しでも攻撃しようとしている、が井上のスピードがマロニーより上で全てのパンチが避け切れない。マロニーも最後は打たれても立ち上がろうとしたがもうダメージの方が身体に回ってしまっていた。良い選手だ。
-
Look at Casimero's expression when he saw the fight with Donaire. He's already mentally knocked out.
-
Damn Maloney is a true beast warrior look at his kockout ratios!!! That's scary. I can't believe Americans say Inoue never fought a true boxer. moloney is a true beast boxer scary as hell but lost to Inoue
-
naoya is real monster.
-
Honestly probably my favorite Naoya Inoue fight. Moloney put up a good fight considering the opponent. Inoue still dominated but it’s a closer fight than the outcome would suggest. You can tell Inoue really worked on his defense after this fight though. He no longer takes many punches like he’s taking here and he took from the first Donaire fight.
-
That punch was ridiculously fast Maloney didn’t even process he got hit
-
became a fan of him since 1-2 months ago
-
Inoue finishes Fulton inside 9th round
-
Maloney has 1000 times more guts than Butler.
