Employing a relentless attack at close range, Inoue punished the taller Ishida with a barrage of uppercuts to the face, causing continual nosebleeds and forcing Ishida onto the defensive. Inoue’s performance culminated in a unanimous decision victory (118-109, 118-109, 116-111) over twelve fast-paced rounds, solidifying his status as a dominant force in the bantamweight division.
