Naoya Inoue vs Ramon Cardenas Prediction
Pound-for-pound boxing superstar Naoya Inoue hasn’t fought in America since June 2021, with Sunday night being just his fourth fight on US soil.
‘The Monster’ is currently riding a 10 fight knockout streak, and boxing sportsbooks are expecting him to make this 11 consecutive stoppages when he steps into the ring with Ramon Cardenas.
All four of his world super-bantamweight titles are on the line, as well as the Ring Magazine belt, with the Japanese powerhouse fully expected to win in emphatic fashion at the T-Mobile Arena.
Cardenas is a credible opponent, but simply not on Inoue’s level. Expect yet another vicious Naoya Inoue stoppage here, perhaps even in the first half of the fight.
