Why Bet on Takuma Inoue?

WBA bantamweight title holder Takuma Inoue has fought 20 times in his professional career. 

Out of those, he has earned 19 victories in that time with a single loss. Takuma Inoue only defended his WBA title as recently as February, and he has welcomed the regular opportunities to defend it. 

Now he comes once again ready to welcome his next challenger and prove his skillset, and it seems like in people’s heads he should have no issues defending his belt once again.

Why Bet on Sho Ishida?

The challenger, Sho Ishida, has 34 victories with three losses in his 37 bouts since beginning his career in February 2009. Along and respectable record for a veteran.

Sho Ishida is not necessarily a journeyman fighter, and his experience will prove to be some sort of difficulty for the champion. It is the best chance that Ishida has to make his name blow up hard, either by winning the fight or simply by making it one hell of a defense for Inoue.

He is the underdog in the public’s mind, but he’s got a shot at shutting people’s mouths.

Final Betting Analysis: Takuma Inoue vs. Sho Ishida

Both fighters tend to have similar stats when it comes to their wins, as they both finish with KOs now and then, but also tend to go the distance multiple times.

In this clash, just like most people, we are taking Inoue as a favorite. We are expecting him to make it pretty clear as he either finishes his opponent around the 9th round or goes all the way to get a clear decision victory from the judges.
