By his own reckoning, Taguchi has been Inoue's toughest opponent to date. For context: it was Taguchi's first national light fly title defence and Inoue's fourth pro fight after he'd beaten the Filipine and Thai national champs, and the top ranked contender in the national championship, and was ranked #6 when Taguchi called him out after becoming the champ. That was a big fight in Japan, and despite the wide scores in Inoue's favour, Taguchi was a tough nut to read and crack. After the loss, Taguchi went on to become the WBA champ, and defend his belt six times before getting himself the IBF belt and becoming a unified light fly champ. He retired after losing his first unified title defence to Hekkie Budler, who's challenging for Kenshiro's light fly belt tomorrow.. Taguchi came out of retirement to challenge for Kosei Tanaka's fly belt. He retired for good after losing the fight.
@@vm5954 If that was his default guard, you might have a case... He might use the L-guard/Philly shell/shoulder roll but fluidly transition out of it within a few rounds in adapting to his opponent, like he did with Fulton. Knowing how to use the tools at one's disposal needs to be complemented by knowing when one should be used rather than another. Obviously, Inoue masters particular techniques, his skill in means, in order to effect a particular outcome. When the desired outcome has been achieved the technique has served its purpose and the situation requiring the application of that technique has disappeared, only for a new scenario to appear requiring adjustment. What's the point flogging a dead horse, as they say.. Like Crawford, Inoue's a master of eventually closing fights, getting the job done. They approach and adjust to their opponents moment by moment, on the fly. Very difficult to read and predict opponents like that to set them up, while they're doing exactly that to you, i imagine...
Great back story. Just another fun fact was when Taguchi had been a pro for 4 years sparred a 17yo Inoue, got knocked down. He even questioned himself if he should continue boxing. So when Taguchi won the Japenese title, he wanted to prove to himself and avenge himself in the pro ring. The rest is history.
Taguchi was the only one of the fighters who fought Inoue who never laid down in the ring. Taguchi later became a unified light-flyweight world champion, having held the WBA, IBF and Ring magazine titles. This was the Japan championship title match. Two young lions ! Taguchi currently works as an instructor at a boxing gym. The gym where he works is owned by Takashi Uchiyama, former WBA super featherweight champion and 11-time defender. These two former world champions have had a very close master-student relationship since their active careers. Incidentally, one of the commentators in the video of this fight is Takashi Uchiyama.
Wow, Naoyas style has been refined over time, but you see how it hasn’t changed. That’s a very good thing because he took HIS unique style and developed and improved it. Really remarkable and all the great fighters have this skill. Look at any great fighters with some exceptions, and their early style and their developed styles are the same. With Inoue it is obvious. He is one of the best and most exciting boxers currently fighting.
If I'm not mistaken, few years before this fight, they already spar with each other and Taguchi said that he got disappointed on himself on that sparring, because he was beaten up by a high school kid, which is Inoue.
Inoue was just much faster, sharper and more accurate. If this had gone on 2 more rounds I think Inoue could have managed a ko seeing as how Taguchi was exhausted while Inoue looked like he could've gone strong for at least 12 rounds. But props to Taguchi for being the only one of Inoue's opponents who did not end up sitting or laying on the canvas at any point nontheless.
Is it acceptable to wear each boxing gloves in the ring to avoid deceit by neither of two fighters like what Margarito did before against Cotto I think there is some THING in Inoue''sgloves
That was the Monster young. You going to ready tell he's going to be great. Go fight them today good luck. Salute everybody hope everybody's having a great evening or a great day
Wow Taguchi is really hanging in there and lands some good blows against Inoue. I still think Inuoe is dominating this fight. By the way, great channel - I just found it and had to subscribe - keep up the good work...
mann taguchi boxing, countering, moving around the ring like how I thought fulton was going to do smh. I wish i would've washed this fight first before losing money lol. is taguchi still active?? id love to tune in more let me know
But, if the fight between Inoue and Donaire occured at Donaire' s prime, Inoue could have gone losing, his eye socket was damaged severely during their first fight. Their second fight; it's more than honor but the purse/ money. And if it's true that Inoue made a trick, I don't know! I'm
Uh, what are you talking about? Nonito is Inoue's toughest opponent as he's the first one who could shake Inoue, he generally landed more heavy punches throughout the 12 rounds, broke his eye socket. Taguchi took 2 rounds at best, Inoue just got good experience, it was a good fight but clearly not the toughest.
One year after this game, he became the champion of WBA light fly weight, and then he also won the IBF title. He was really a nice boxer. Ryoichi Taguchi, its his name.

Why the white short not speeding his boxes ? He only holding his box ir his hands not throwing his boxes more and fast. The white short should open eyes to see and learn from Many Pacquio
I don't know. I think beating a 40-5 three divisions champion was more impressive than this fight. Good stuff though. Same old strat. Work that vertical fist jab and overhand right and gradually loosen up the guard, then start going for liver shots.
This was his 4th pro fight and helped him get the his 1st world title in his 6th. This was his 1st pro fight that went to the score cards. This was where he started to grow the most and gained the experience to fight future fights like Donaire. Just like Donaire helped him grow even more and tested him to his limits to get to become who he is today. It's a journey and progress.
No he's always been a monster. Inoue beat him up sparring when Inoue was just a high schooler while Taguchi was a pro. This caused him to doubt his own skills. Inoue has always been Taguchi's nightmare. This was the night Taguchi conquered his nightmare, only to find out he wasn't dreaming. But in conquering his nightmare, moving forward, he proved himself and the world that he's a true champion.
Your idol Casimero, is not a champion anymore! was stripped of his Title long time ago because of his own fault, so at that time the title was considered vacant & there was a fight on 1 & another ranking contender & it was Butler who won but later dethroned by INOUE! as of Casimero’s case of undisciplined ways (overweight) on a Titlefight & squabbles of money matters on a proposed fight with INOUE, resulting in the parting ways of his manager, promoter,Sean Gibbons! so at the rate of undoings he remained out of circulation in the fight circles of quality opponents! & the real reason, boxers avoid him, is not out of fear! but the falter or failure of any proposed fight with any fighter due to the nature of so many violations ( overweight) complaints of his brother of how much pct of the purse in a Title fight & so on!
because Donairе gave his all in that battle. he was better than ever in that fight. and he also promised his sons that he would take first place and bring them the Muhammad Ali Cup. but.... but...he couldn't. and you Filipinos need to be able to accept defeat, otherwise there will be no respect for you.
@@LoH1-tg9dwDonaire did give his all-but he was older and his all at that time isn’t what it had previously been. I don’t agree he was “better than ever”. It was a very good fight too. Donaire was one of my favorite fighters. I also liked Pacquiao and was an old fan of Hagler. I like Canelo right now, and Inoue, Bud Crawford, and Tawanchai in Muay Thai…
You are a casual, commenting without knowing! count how many Title defenses NAOYA fought??? look up his record in his previous Titles from 105 lbs. up to 122 lbs. he fought his way up challenging champions & winning them all, & has the highest K.O. ratio of undisputed champions @ 88% you are just a plain NAOYA hater! & what can you say about Casimero fighting unknowns & unranked boxers in OGUNI & semi retired AKAHO! what about fighting a very old Rigondeaux at 40 yrs. old!

Agreed, such a big big difference in skills...
Taguchi went on to become unified champion, and this was only Inoues 4th fight. Also Inoues only opponent that he couldn’t drop
If I'm not mistaken, few years before this fight, they already spar with each other and Taguchi said that he got disappointed on himself on that sparring, because he was beaten up by a high school kid, which is Inoue.
yes , correct!
This was a very entertaining fight, I have never seen an opponent take all the punches that Taguchi took and finish the fight still fighting back.
💯

Taguchi proved to be the toughest opponent in Inoue's career so far by his own admission.
He did
I want to believe Taguchi had a granite chin.
Hence why Inoue couldn't drop him with ease.
Paul he is very good fighter who can fight all round with Naoye both of good excellent ferformance

WOW 👌, TAGUCHI HE SURE IS A TOUGH BOXER TOO, LOTS RESPECT 🙏 TO TAGUCHI, ALDOUGH NAOYA IS BEST AT SPORT ❤❤❤
I agree with you
So far I've only seen Naoya piecin this other dude up...With precision. Perhaps the tides turn...
この試合を今見ても、当時の田口選手が世界チャンプレベルなのが分かる。もちろん井上選手はそれ以上。
Wow Taguchi is really hanging in there and lands some good blows against Inoue. I still think Inuoe is dominating this fight. By the way, great channel - I just found it and had to subscribe - keep up the good work...
Taguchi so far is Inoue's toughest fighter, follow by Donaire.
井上が唯一ダウンさせられなかった相手
この一戦は凄かったよね。
井上選手が、と言うより、田口選手の気持ちとか想いが凄かった。
この試合を知っていたから、田中選手との試合がとても残念な気がしました。
hai!!
Good fight Inoue vs Taguchi thise is the toughest opponent of inoues fight against Taguchi wow..
Greetings from Ukraine ❤❤❤thank you!!!
Thank you too!
Thank you, it's a nice match.
I'm glad you like it
@@Charlessalbox I'm in uk. I learn a lots of basic exercises frm u. Boxing is really funny. Go ahead man.
This opponent Ryouichi Taguchi has become unified champion.
Bravo Ryoichi! Yours opponent was really tough
この後２人共世界チャンピョンだもの。ベストバウトだよね。
井上はこの時19.20とかだし、正直ベストバウトと思わない。
To me the fight could have gone either way. Great fight ! To me no loser there. Draw of anything .🕵🏻♂️
These 2 boxers look like twin!
Is that racism?
This announcer is the same one who voiced as an announcer in Hajime No Ippo, right? His voice really sound familiar.
Inoue seems to control the effort more efficiently...
yes and is considerably more powerful
@@Charlessalbox a very good opponent anyway. He took a lot of puches also in the liver zone and could continue round after round......
It seems that this match was taken some years' ago.
井上はこの頃からこの様なスタイルだったのか。フリッカーが出る度ギアがアップしパンチが重くなる。ガードの上からでも容赦無く重いパンチが飛んでくるので、相手の選手はいつの間にか腕が重くなりパンチに切れが無くなる。スタイルを変えず洗練されたのが今の怪物井上なのだろう。何処まで魅せてくれるのか、
非常に楽しみである。
INOUE THE BEST BOXER ALL THE TIME
No doubt his toughest fight so far!. Their fighting styles are very similar.
And they say he fights nobody’s 🙄
valeu ,parabéns pela grande vitoria por que ninguém é eterno !
mann taguchi boxing, countering, moving around the ring like how I thought fulton was going to do smh. I wish i would've washed this fight first before losing money lol. is taguchi still active?? id love to tune in more let me know
He retired towards the end of his prime. After losing to Inoue, he did move on to become unified champ in that division so he had a very good career.
This is what I like.... about Inoue getting a worthy opponent,not a weak opponent...
Yes he was a good opp back when my boy wieghed 115 lol thats like comparing paq early career with his career after juan marquez
Taguchi will be next new Enove
腕を伸ばした時に骨から体重のせてダメージを相手に与えるバンチが出ていない。今日は本当に倒す気が無かったのではないかと思う。

If I like the video I will give it a like, I might share, I do not need pop ups telling to do it. So now won't do either.
Thanks for letting me know
his toughest fight is still with a japanese guy like himself, not with a hyped black american dude.😜
Before you comment, look up his entire fights vs. all type of ethnicities & nationalities! if you go with race of a boxer!
Question only is this the Thai style
؟
which boxer are you referring to?
Thai style is weak to powerful punchers, so no it's not. Good question, tho
I think this is more eastern European boxing style, more like ggg type, come forward with high guard pressure fighting
They show a really boxer...dont they???
Very tiring...😂😂😂😂
👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕🙏🙏🙏
Against Inoue you have to be tight and he....he's not as effective....
