How Naoya Inoue saved boxing from a disastrous weekend and cemented the fact that he is the most exciting boxer today. My reaction following Inoue-Cardenas on @espn https://t.co/IZwA6PguXP

Naoya Inoue avoids disaster and stops Ramon Cardenas in an absolute thriller to save the weekend in boxing. My story on @espn https://t.co/6f9G9QDzJA

Update: He saved us.

Save us, Naoya Inoue https://t.co/4rP6gAbKBY

It's safe to say that Naoya Inoue won the weekend in boxing.

Inoue just torched Cardenas with a 7 punch combination at the start of round eight and the referee has stopped it! That may have been premature but dammit that was an incredible fight.

Inoue is bludgeoning Cardenas in the seventh but just when you think the fight is about to end, Cardenas fires back. But a trio of right hands from Inoue finally sent him down at the end of round seven. What a damn fight this has been

Inoue's jab is setting up some brutal body work that has taken steam off of Cardenas punches in round six. I don't know how Cardenas is standing after he absorbed a wicked offensive assault that might have killed any other human being.

I didn't think I'd need to score this fight, and I do not think it will get to the judges, but Cardenas has made an excellent account of himself regardless of the result.

Inoue just had a "monster" 4th round where he pelted Cardenas with combinations that had us wincing ringside. But Cardenas didn't go down and smiled after eating some devastating knuckle sandwiches.
