James Toney was one of the best to use this defensive style.

Japanese boxing is all about precision, discipline, timing, and controlled aggression — and Naoya Inoue is the perfect example. Inoue’s signature strengths are his elite timing, sharp footwork, devastating body shots, pinpoint combinations, and explosive power. He reads opponents beautifully, creates openings with subtle movements, then turns those openings into fight-ending moments. He doesn’t just overwhelm opponents — he breaks them down with precision before unleashing the damage. Speed. Timing. Power. Precision. 🇯🇵🥊

After the summer holidays we are back. What do you want to see more?

One of my favourite drills when we start the sparring session.
