Win Methods
Takuma Inoue is the reigning bantamweight WBC champion — 22-2 and holding the belt everyone in the division is chasing.
He's a pure boxer in the classic sense — 17 of his wins have gone the distance. Feet, jab, ring IQ; opponents rarely get knocked out, they just lose every round.
Most recent outing: a win over Kazuto Ioka via decision (unanimous). Business handled.
