The Filipino southpaw Marlon Tapales, who holds the other two belts at 122lbs, is in the ring at the moment. A fight with Inoue to unify all four title belts at super bantamweight could happen as soon as November. A mouth-watering fight and one you have to credit Tapales for moving forward with after tonight’s devastating exhibition.
