Prediction

Boxing can be an unpredictable game, but it doesn't get much more predictable than Inoue vs. Doheny. That's why Inoue is a -5000 favorite coming into the fight. Doheny has lost to far worse fighters than Inoue and Inoue has not only never been defeated, but he has also scored a stoppage in 24 of his 27 professional fights, many of those against better fighters than Doheny.

This fight was made because Doheny had done just enough to be a credible opponent while also being a familiar name in Japan. It'll be a nice payday for him, but Inoue can likely end the fight the second he feels the desire to put his foot on the gas. Pick: Naoya Inoue via KO3
