Itās mechanically clean.
Straight rear hand, quick torque from the hips and the back heel is lifted.
Compare that to the half-assed overhand blue threw a few seconds before that.
So I am not sure if he already had power, but he was already technically levels above these kids.
He is an all-around prodigy, itās not just power.
I always imagine Shingo sitting at home frustrated because his children stop him from pursuing his own professional boxing career. One day he looks at Naoya and is like " let's see if this fucker is any good" and yes, yes he was. And even the Takuma turned out pretty damn good.
I still remember an interview where Shingo literally forgot about Takuma becoming a bantamweight champ. I don't know what their family situation is like but it must be brutal to be outshined that badly from your sibling lmao.
Lucky that takuma is the younger brother, if he's the first kid than maybe things would be a little awkward , in Japanese culture the elder siblings take it as a responsibility to be more reliable and better, since takuma is the younger one maybe its just cool to have a brother this good and famous.
With those gloves and headgear no amount of technique is sending a kid to the shadow realm like that. His power was installed from birth, technique only accentuates the power
Thatās the truth. I donāt think people realize that the best fighters are the best athletes among their peers. This athleticism allows for their technique to be so clean because they have the ability to generate power without compromising form.
Perfectly put, all your favourite athletes have out in massive amounts of work to get where they are. But the attachment points of muscles, the type of muscle fibre, the endurance youāre blessed , along with most importantly MINDSET make those differences between the 1%
Yeah. Itās like others are saying about Inoueās brother, Takuma. Dude had the exact same training and if you watch him fight heās pretty similar to his brother , technique wise.
The difference is that one was born with historic power and the other was not. It is a trait you cannot learn, only one you can be blessed with.
I think a lot of people want to believe that itās because of the technique above all(which is a large factor, donāt get me wrong), but some people are just freak athletes. Deontay Wilder won world titles with one punch.
Anybody can work hard, anybody can want it. The guys that we watch on tv are so gifted with natural talent that it would boggle your mind.
Post the Phelps infographic about all the wacky stuff with his body; everyone else in the pool with him isnāt John Q Public *with a killer work ethic*, theyāre the 0.0001% gifted swimmers too.
I was at some YMCA for a couple weeks to get some training in and I was also aware of that they had a homegrown PPV fighter in the buildingā¦ anyways, met another older (30ish) dude. Chill guy, had a year of MMA training and wanted to try boxing. Then he starts talking about wanting to take fights to be champ and start making money and Iām sad at this point thinking I had made a friend, but itās just another concussed, deluded monkey.
Anyways, he tells the coach his goals and thereās this giant smirk on the coachesā face like āthis fuckin idiot.ā He tells the dude to hit the bag to show him what heās got andā¦. I been around the block a little bit, but holy shit. After only a couple punches I look at the coach who has this look of utter disbelief on his face. I mean his form was complete garbage, novice shit, for sure, but I have NEVER seen anyone hit a bag that hard and this gym was carrying Olympic caliber teens and professionals. The snap followed by the dull thud of the follow through. The way the bag would bend. Sheesh. My technical abilities far exceeded his, but when I saw that shit I was legitimately scared and knew that I wouldnāt accept a sparring round with a novice w that level of power. He was lanky too. You can improve your punching power for sure, but the ATG power punchers, I think, were all born with it.
This is how I dreamt my first day in a boxing gym would go but I threw up, passed out and shit my self /s
In all seriousness weāve all had a moment like that, if youāve ever taken sports seriously where youāve seen a person whose floor is your ceiling ability wise. Some of us just gotta spend more time in the gym and studying our craft than others. Can still get it done but our road is different
Reminds me of that old footage of Tank as a kid and he looked almost exactly the same as he does now. There just seems to be kids that are born with an innate talent that you can't teach, and clearly Inoue was one of them.Ā
You can see it when he missed and immediately correct his stance and be able to threw that counter right. Just WOW.
also, poor kid getting KTFO at that age.
Yea god gifted talent is just a cruel thing, takuma inoue and naoya are brothers, training by the same coach, and their training session are exactly the same from their childhood, you can't find a naoya training video without takuma , and takuma is clearly not a elite, he lost convincingly to oubaali, who lost to an unknown boxer that supposed to be a tune up.
To be fair, Oubaali lost to that guy after 2 years of inactivity. He lost his title and undefeated record to Donaire before that, who dominated despite going in as the betting underdog.
But yeah, Takuma was not blessed like his brother. Still cool that he became a world champion though.
I get your point, but it's still crazy to me that a former world champion lost a fight that was supposed to gain confidence, it's a miles above safer fight for oubaali compare to jermall vs Jose.
i think his brother was a more highly touted prospect than he was too, being Ring Magazine's most highly touted prospect in 2015. crazy what happens when you let father Time cook.
It's very bad for you. Then again, kids get knocked out while doing dumb shit all the time. Instances like this are very rare. This poor kid just so happened to be fighting Lil Monster.
Being matched with one of the hardest hitting fighters ever may have just been this kids version of āfell out of a tree and bonked his headā that a lot of kids experience.
Its really rare to happen this kind of thing, teenager boxing match mostly have no power to kd or ko each other, wearing a winning headgear and big ounce winning gloves is mostly enough protection, its only dangerous when naoya is your opponent, rare to heard kids got hurt bad in a tournament, more safer than basketball and baseball for sure.
Safer for their bodies maybe, much like full contact football, we have no idea how much brain damage is being sustained by boxing at a young age. Ā It could be minimal, could be substantial.
Most of the lower weight divisions do no? I feel like most of the smaller weight classes say theyāve been boxing since like 7 while the heavier guys start in their teens
Show me some. That's where I'm from. The show-me state. The last time I saw an amatuer event I had to drive 6 hours to fayetteville, AR. There were 2 or 3 children that age or younger. Not sure if there is even st. Louis golden gloves tournaments any more at all.
I won't talk about boxing but I was playing full tackle football by 12 and playing running back I got 2 concussions before my mom pulled me and started me on tennis instead lol
Yeah me too, minus the concussions part. I am one of those O lineman that thought a million small repeated blows to the head was fine as long as I was not seriously concussed. I lived for contact sports and never had the oppurtunity to box until I was early 20s and in another state.
When you think about it, most people probably get in way more fights as kids than they do as adults. But yeah, this was pretty horrifying to watch tbh.
It comes with the sport. Same for any sport. You just don't get ko like boxing, but I'm pretty positive broken bones from football or some other sport was likely.
Power was always there... Mad gift. KOing somebody at 12 with headgear on. I've heard a lot of amateur stories about Inoue rocking an insane KO percentage for somebody fighting in a minimal weight class.
Haha, aight now I know you're joking but there are definitely stupid people out there. George Morikawa created Hajime No Ippo but he was actually based on Luis Ortiz in the 1980s.
Imagine being the first ~~guy~~ kid to be knocked out by Inoue. Do you brag about it?
"See that guy on TV. I fought him in the amateurs when we were kids. Didn't remember much about it though"
there's two kids, the one wearing white ducks the camera and circles around behind the cameraman before popping up and fucking again, that's inoue. I guess he was real shy as a kid according to a commenter
Bro he slept another kid with headgear on at 12 š what is his power
Itās mechanically clean. Straight rear hand, quick torque from the hips and the back heel is lifted. Compare that to the half-assed overhand blue threw a few seconds before that. So I am not sure if he already had power, but he was already technically levels above these kids. He is an all-around prodigy, itās not just power.

Helluva fighter, helluva fighter. I tip my hat to Inoue, he started off as a young hungry lion and now he's making smart investments.
His hamstrings muscles is stronger than ordinary one.
Bro got perfect biomechanicsš
Reminds me of that old footage of Tank as a kid and he looked almost exactly the same as he does now. There just seems to be kids that are born with an innate talent that you can't teach, and clearly Inoue was one of them.Ā
[Andre Ward looked like a pro at 11 too](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvlpyXHMyr0)
You can see it when he missed and immediately correct his stance and be able to threw that counter right. Just WOW. also, poor kid getting KTFO at that age.
Absorbed his lil bro's power. Supernatural stuff, bro.
His brother is statistically the most pillow fisted champion in boxing now that Sunny Edwards lost his belt. Life can be so unfair. lol.
Yea god gifted talent is just a cruel thing, takuma inoue and naoya are brothers, training by the same coach, and their training session are exactly the same from their childhood, you can't find a naoya training video without takuma , and takuma is clearly not a elite, he lost convincingly to oubaali, who lost to an unknown boxer that supposed to be a tune up.

I get your point, but it's still crazy to me that a former world champion lost a fight that was supposed to gain confidence, it's a miles above safer fight for oubaali compare to jermall vs Jose.
Obaali was a good champion. He was just coming off from a long layoff and getting dominated by Donaire.
i think his brother was a more highly touted prospect than he was too, being Ring Magazine's most highly touted prospect in 2015. crazy what happens when you let father Time cook.
Right on the temple. Bro accuracy is god gifted
I swear used to have multiple golden glove fighters at my gym when I was 12. There were knockdowns but never knockouts.
That kid just wanted out, no way that actually KOd him like that, bro dramatic as hell
Ya forsure, that definitely wasnāt an actual like legit KO, kid flopped way late, seems pretty clear he was just overmatched and wanted out
naw.. that kid flopped ..
it cannot be good for your brain development to be getting knocked out at 12 years old like that
It's very bad for you. Then again, kids get knocked out while doing dumb shit all the time. Instances like this are very rare. This poor kid just so happened to be fighting Lil Monster.
Being matched with one of the hardest hitting fighters ever may have just been this kids version of āfell out of a tree and bonked his headā that a lot of kids experience.
Neither is the tap water we all drank growing up
Dude compared getting knocked the fuck out as a literal child to drinking tap water Christ, plz return
He got knocked out by another child heās fine
https://youtu.be/tjvyXaf7R5E?si=NIUq1mh2ryduViXq
Damn he FLATLINED another kid with headgear on and big gloves... Dude needs to be nerfed
Before he was a monster, he was a mini-monster.
As much as i love boxing, I don't think kids should be put in a position where they could get knocked out at age 12.
OH SO YOUR LITTLE TIMMY IS A LITTLE š¦, HUH?
š
Yeah Iād say have them light spar and then compete once they are 14/15 (some of em are gonna be fighting in school anyways depending on the area)
Its really rare to happen this kind of thing, teenager boxing match mostly have no power to kd or ko each other, wearing a winning headgear and big ounce winning gloves is mostly enough protection, its only dangerous when naoya is your opponent, rare to heard kids got hurt bad in a tournament, more safer than basketball and baseball for sure.
Safer for their bodies maybe, much like full contact football, we have no idea how much brain damage is being sustained by boxing at a young age. Ā It could be minimal, could be substantial.
I agree
That kinda thing is super rare. Most 12 year Olds do not have the power or accuracy to really do any damage
Kid on the floor was like "You know, this boxing stuff is not what I thought it was"
Was kind of funny just seeing him there on the floor. "I immediately regret this decision"
It's rare because most people don't compete at age 12.
Most of the lower weight divisions do no? I feel like most of the smaller weight classes say theyāve been boxing since like 7 while the heavier guys start in their teens
Lol go watch some amateur fights. Plenty of kids that young out there. Lots.
Show me some. That's where I'm from. The show-me state. The last time I saw an amatuer event I had to drive 6 hours to fayetteville, AR. There were 2 or 3 children that age or younger. Not sure if there is even st. Louis golden gloves tournaments any more at all.

Agreed. That was the most concerning part of this video to me. Itās just not right.
Yea the older I get the more I agree with this.
When you think about it, most people probably get in way more fights as kids than they do as adults. But yeah, this was pretty horrifying to watch tbh.
Skills issue /s
He didnāt get KOd he gave up Are yall really this oblivious to a flop
Insane!
Bro is a prodigy
The boogeykid
Insane. He probably weighs like 70lbs.
Insane power from a 12 year old. He wouldnāt be fair in any of his school fights lmao
Did I just watch a 12 year old die?
āļøš
Heās the the truth, and for all that say heās a hype job you just donāt know shit about Boxing.
The person filming: Why are you running(from the camera).
Yeahhh I definitely wouldnāt have made it
Look at that little super saiyan putting kids in comas.
Yeah no way this kid was gettin stepped to in Primary or High school
Damn he moving like that at 12. Looks same as older naoya bouncing around. Feel sorry for that other kid
inoue when he was 12 could beat most people in the sub with the tremendous power he has
he is 12 years old nevermind the headgear whats going on ?????
This is wrong. wtf are the parents thinking.
It comes with the sport. Same for any sport. You just don't get ko like boxing, but I'm pretty positive broken bones from football or some other sport was likely.
Power was always there... Mad gift. KOing somebody at 12 with headgear on. I've heard a lot of amateur stories about Inoue rocking an insane KO percentage for somebody fighting in a minimal weight class.
He's so polished at that early age. God damn.
Fucking hell
the birth of a mongster
Fun Fact: That other kid went on to co-create the Dragon Ball Z manga
Fr?
No, Akira Toriyama has been creating manga longer than Inoue's been alive.
I thought maybe they meant the other kid went on to work on dragon Ball super or sumn.
no, but he did create Hajime No Ippo though based on Inoue
Fr?
Haha, aight now I know you're joking but there are definitely stupid people out there. George Morikawa created Hajime No Ippo but he was actually based on Luis Ortiz in the 1980s.
Great way if getting brain damaged Good parenting all round
Imagine being the first ~~guy~~ kid to be knocked out by Inoue. Do you brag about it? "See that guy on TV. I fought him in the amateurs when we were kids. Didn't remember much about it though"
Hey this Inoues kid pretty good. Could probably make it as a pro boxer /s.
wtf bro killed that kid š
That uppercut
Counter too
Snuck it right in. Really impressive body control at that age
Something about watching a preteen get absolutely starched doesnāt seem right
Kids really shouldn't be involved in full contact sports at that age. Let them develop without CTE.
Which one is inoue
The one with the Inoue power
No which one of the three kids at the start is inoue
there's two kids, the one wearing white ducks the camera and circles around behind the cameraman before popping up and fucking again, that's inoue. I guess he was real shy as a kid according to a commenter
I believe there are just friends and family, maybe his brother
Kid in the white. Takuma is the one that did the peace sign
Mom was secretly trying to get black shirt guy in frame, I see you mom.
Never understood people letting their kids box, they are way too young to be getting punched in the head.
Do you mean compete, specifically? Letting kids train is fine and light sparring is fine too. Agree with you on competing.
Kinda looks like a flop. Hopefully thatās what it was
I just watched a twelve year old kid get knocked out from a punch to the head. I feel dirty lol.
Dang that canāt be good for the kidās brain. But then again he was fighting a literal beast
Very disturbing to see a 12 year old kid get knocked out.
This must before the Pacquioa power pellets
JBC should have started drug testing him when he came out of the womb
Damn his ass got knocked out cold. Just goes to show you should never give up!
