Luis Nery, boxing, bantamweight, Naoya Inoue lets talk

Luis Nery and Naoya Inoue both easily make weight before the big event of the evening. At the junior featherweight divisional limit on Sunday, Inoue weighed in at 55.2 kg (121¾lbs) with 100g to spare, and Nery weighed in at 54.8 kg (120.8 lbs), 500g under.

After failing to weigh in for a bout in Japan in 2018, Nery lost his bantamweight world title. The Japan Boxing Commission imposed an indefinite ban on him to compete in Japan, which was just removed this year.

Inoue declared yesterday that “I knew he would make the weight.” “It’s a major occasion, and Nery is most likely earning more money for this bout than he has for any other in his career. I had no concerns.
