Такума
Иноэ

This is only his eighth professional bout. Tenshin has sold out the Tokyo Dome in the past in a different discipline. He did not lose as a professional kickboxer. He has not lost as a professional boxer. He had losses in amateur kickboxing. He had an exhibition against Floyd Mayweather. He showed ability to use his footwork to find angles to fight on the inside. He threw an overhand left that commentators had not seen from him before. Tenshin has limited head movement in his game, which is not shocking coming from a fairly recent kickboxing effort. He throws creative punches that are unconventional.

Takuma Inoue had a loss to Seya Satsumi. He spent time in his brother's shadow. He pondered retirement before this fight. He has a firm grasp of the basics and fundamentals.
