Welcome guys thanks for joining me again in this update. I hope you're all well. Ok guys, so The fight between Naoya Inoue and Bunnam Thammakhun took place on January 5th, 2013, at the Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan. This marked Inoue's second Pro fight after his first with Filipino national champion Crison Omayao. At the time of this fight, Inoue was recognized in Japan but by no means on the world stage, as a prodigious talent in boxing. He had a strong amateur background and was developing a reputation for his knockout power and precision. His opponent, Bunnam Thammakhun was also a national champion. Hailing from Thailand, he entered the fight with experience but still as an underdog, as his record was 9 and 10. This is the only opponent Inoue faced that had a negative Win-Loss ratio. Mayweather, Fulton, and Figueroa all from the USA, fought against three opponents like this during their careers This still presented Inoue with a test at the Professional level in his second fight to see if he could handle the challenges that came with professional boxing. Inoue had long made a promise to his manager Hideyuki Ohashi to never fight against easy opponents. However, it wasn't that Inoue fought against easy opponents throughout his career it was more that he made easy work of his opponents. Inoue started aggressively, using his superior hand speed and footwork to control the distance and tempo of the fight. The height difference certainly gave Inoue an advantage and he used it to establish his Jab. Thammakhun tried to establish himself by being aggressive but only managed to walk onto a superb, and well-placed counter left-hook from Inoue. When Thammakhun he hit the floor, the referee could see that he struggled to get back to steady feet by the 10 count and had no option but to wave the fight off, resulting in a 1st round KO for Inoue. So guys what I want you to do is notice how Inoue has incredible speed while implementing his technical abilities. His reactions are also on point but lets not confuse the two. His reaction time is more about his awareness and when he starts to respond but his speed is more to do with the efficiency of his movement to get him from point A to B in the quickest time possible. Now I want you to check Inoue's rear foot and understand that he trains and fights with a raised back heel. This is what gives him his speed in action when his reactions kick into play. Go and look at Terence Crawford, Gervonta Davis and Inoue when they are in the ring and you will notice when they approach a certain range or require particular evasive movements the back heel is activated. You don't always have to maintain that position in Pro boxing as you do in the amateurs but its always important to train as if you do to improve balance and your ability to train reaction and speed together.
