The Naoya Inoue Boxing Technique - 5 Fearsome Factors

In this video we are going to examine the boxing technique of the Japanese star boxer Naoya Inoue AKA ‘The Monster’.

Inoue is a boxer who has a fantastic KO ratio as a professional, but even more of an insight is that he had a similar KO/stoppage rate as an amateur.

Whilst looking at the Inoue boxing technique, it is natural to be drawn towards his proficiency in body punching. In fact, for my money he’s one of the best body punchers amongst his peers.

So, there are 5 elements of the Inoue technique that I want to point out, 5 Fearsome Factors that make him the highly dangerous operator that he is.

1. Wide boxing stance at long range with his bodyweight very slightly forward. This allows quick responses to incoming punches and supporting a solid counter punching style.

2. Crushing punching power - Inoue can KO opponents with either hand or any punch. With that type of punching power opponents show a bias to protecting the head, this leaves openings to the body.

3. He triggers opponents with the jab and always seeks to counter off the jab.

4. A key Inoue technique is the use of the centre line, flank and target approach to working the opponent. When you throw a shot to a particular place, openings appear elsewhere - Inoue capitalises massively on these openings.

5. Inoue is a risk taker. He leads with hooks, both to the head and body. When doing so he reduces the risk with speed and high levels of aggression, looking to overwhelm the opponent.

So, my view of the Naoya Inoue boxing technique distilled into 5 Fearsome Factors. As always, comments welcome.
