The monster returned to the American land for the first time in almost four years and did not disappoint.
Nayya Inoue He defended his undisputed world championships in the WBO featherweight with the eighth round of the TKO against Ramon Cardenas On Sunday evening at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Inoue (30-0, 27 KO) looked early at the end of the night, but in the second round he was in the second round the left hook. He maintained control, but with novel respect for Cardenas (26-2, 14 KO), which remained hazardous with his left and right hands.
In the fifth and sixth rounds, Inoue began to land cleanly, forcing Cardenas to hide, while Inoue was looking for holes around his guard. This time, Inoue was more cautious, going back enough to avoid the number of left hooks or locking the occasional right.
In seventh place, Cardenas had Inoue on the defensive, when the Japanese star absorbed the blows of gloves. But a moment later, Inoue stunned Cardenas with her right hand before he was abandoned by further rights.
Cardenas returned to his feet, but the next hit in the next round forced judge Thomas Taylor to stop the competition at: 45.
Inoue said. “Watching today’s fight, everyone is well aware that I like a fight. I was very surprised {with knocking down}, but I took things calmly and gathered.”
“In the first round I felt that I had a good distance. It began in the second round. Since then, I made sure that I did not do it again.”
“Fans here were supporting and great. I hope that I was able to entertain them.”
Cardenas said: “I never cared for losses. It’s about the best fights with the best. I dreamed of fighting thousands of people in Las Vegas. So I came to give everything.”
“I told my trainer that if I leave, I would go out on my shield. I just did it. I’m not sorrowful. But I’m blown up. This is what it is.”
King of Mexican featherweight Rafael espinosis (27-0, 23 KO) began the Cinco de Mayo ceremony, defending his WBO crown with breaks in the seventh round against Edward Vazquez (17-3, 4 KO).
Espinosis (27-0, 23 KO) controlled the fight early with a stiff pierce and speedy leg work, but he could not resist the fight inside, hitting a vasquez hit in third and four rounds.
In the fifth Vazquez, he worked out, and the constant upper results and bumps on the body eventually forced him to withdraw on the ropes. Espinosis forced to stop at 1:17 seven with a dam without interruption.
“I knew he was a great opponent. I knew he would come to fight. And that’s good, because it allowed me to show more of my possibilities,” Espinosis said. “This is a kind of fight that people like to watch. And I like it too. People deserve this kind of fighting. And as a Mexican fight for this vital Mexican date, I did it with all my heart, and I will do it. To be born a novel Mexican god, I will have to fight the best.
Aid sender: WBO Intercontinental Champion Rohan Polanco (16-0, 10 KO) he drove to a 10-round unanimous decision about Argentine punk Fabian Maidana (24-4, 18 KO). Polanco pressed forward with the attitude of his arms roller, forcing Maidan to exercise caution and limiting the action. Nevertheless, Polanco interrupted the performance with the upper upper top title of the solar plexus, which dropped Maidan in the last round. Results: 100-89 3x.

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.
Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.
Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.
Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.
Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.
The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.
The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.
McKean meets Taliva
Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.
McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.

The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.
Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.
Undercard remaining
At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.
Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.
Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.
Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
