Doheny challenges Undisputed and undefeated super-bantamweight champion Naoya Inoue at Tokyo\u2019s Ariake Arena on September 3<sup>rd<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p>It is an exceptionally, exceedingly difficult prospect. Naoya has KO\u2019d his last eight opponents. He\u2019s won all of his twenty-two world championship bouts. He\u2019s won world titles in four weight categories and twenty four of his twenty-seven bouts by fast track. Aged thirty- one, he\u2019s six years younger than the man from Portlaoise, Ireland. But\u2026Terence John possesses several key resources and factors upon which he can and must draw.<\/p>\n<p>Naoya has built an 88.89 percent KO percentage. But southpaw TJ\u2019s 26-4, 20 KO\u2019s tangibly show that he\u2019s is slouch either, as his KO radio is 76.92 percent. He himself carries tasty and salty KO power in either hand and he\u2019s never been stopped. He won the IBF super-bantamweight title defeating Ryosuke Iwasa by UD and successfully defended once, before losing in a unification via MD, to WBA champion Daniel Roman. Following his UD loss to Sam Goodman in Sydney, he\u2019s notched three consecutive victories in Japan. Although he\u2019s fought sixteen times in his adopted Australia, he\u2019s no stranger to the Land of the Rising sun.<\/p>\n<p>If he\u2019s to defeat the mighty and formidable Naoya, more likely than not, it would have to be early on. This is when opportunity might knock? It seems to be \u2018\u2019Monster\u2019s\u2019\u2019 one and only vulnerability and flaw.<\/p>\n<p>In their first titanic fight, Nonito Donaire caught Naoya momentarily napping in round two, with a crunching left hook to the face. That one punch wrought and rendered near havoc. It broke his nose, fractured his right orbital bone and cut him over his right eye. For the rest of the fight Naoya was seeing double and as such was at a disadvantage. Yet, he it speaks volumes about him that he overcame this, to dominate from round five onwards, stunning Nonito with a flush right hook to the jaw and increasingly dominating.<\/p>\n<p>It almost ended in round eleven of their thrilling World Boxing Super Series bantamweight Final, when Naoya pinpoint left hook to Nonito\u2019s liver. The Old Master doubled up in agony, but was wily enough to scuttle crab like to an open space across the ring and then go down on his haunches. Somehow, he bravely got up, but from then to the final bell he was in survival mode. The rematch was a second round blow out. Naoya was in no mood to drag it out and expose himself to more heavy- handed risks.<\/p>\n<p>In his most recent super-bantamweight undisputed title defence against Tijuana\u2019s Luis Nery, Naoya was again surprised early, this time in round one, with a crunching left hook, after momentarily dropping his hands. It put him down hard, but he remained clear eyed, clear headed and alert and he got up!<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2019The Monster\u2019\u2019 is not infallible, but on a scale of one to ten he obtains top marks, being able to adapt, pull out and summon up and assimilate sheer brilliance at the drop of a hat, accelerating into top gear in the blink of an eye, when confronted by adversity and its accompanying temporary setbacks. This tenacious ingenuity is assuredly one of the definitions of all time greatness.<\/p>\n<p>He swiftly returned the compliment in round two of the fray and with interest, via his own potent left hook and yet again with a left in round five. The bell saved Nery, but not for long. In round six a right uppercut stunned him and then an even harder right hook decked him.<\/p>\n<p>It was all over.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to this Naoya became the second four belt undisputed champion by stopping tough and resourceful Filipino southpaw Marlon Tapales. Marlon was WBA and IBF super-bantamweight champion. Naoya had won the WBC and WBO belts by TKO\u2019ing the talented Stephen Fulton in eight rounds.<\/p>\n<p>Befitting the champion he was, Marlon put up a spirited fight. But as early as round four, a blistering, unremitting two fisted salvo, put him down. It could have ended there and then, but the bell saved him and he drew upon his excellent physical condition to weather the breaking storm. But\u2026in round ten a big right hurt him and an even bigger right put him down, this time for the full count. Patient, persistent and all pervasive, Naoya had finally found the mark.<\/p>\n<p>Naoya who is in his twelfth year as a pro, won his first title, the WBC light-flyweight Green and Gold, with a sixth TKO over Adrian \u2018\u2019Confessor\u2019\u2019 Hernandez, way back in 2014 in only his sixth fight, is a phenomenal talent. His speed and lightning reflexes and uncanny ring generalship are a marvel to watch. He\u2019s a pinpoint, ruthless marksman, watchful and intelligent yet also instinctive and intuitive.<\/p>\n<p>Secure in his supremacy, Naoya can show flashes of headstrong arrogance and bravado, from time to time, putting his hands behind his back and daring his opponent to punch him, or temptingly sticking out a jutting jaw. Most unwise, for even a superstar, because it only takes one punch, as we\u2019ve all seen. Remember thou art mortal\u2026even a conquering General.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s said he\u2019s going to stay at super-bantamweight for the next couple of years, before considering moving up to featherweight. Thus far he\u2019s matured and grown into every weight category, moving up, without easing up, carrying his formidable punching power along with him. But I feel he\u2019s now reached his ceiling, size wise and would be giving too much weight away at one twenty Six. A bridge too far? We\u2019ll have to be patient, wait and see.<\/p>\n<p>TC or Top Cat is the wise cracking street wise cartoon cool cat, who lives alongside his pals in Hoagy\u2019s Alley and he\u2019s the bane of Officer Dibble\u2019s life. As the opening credits via lyrics suggest: \u2018\u2019Good friends get to call him TC.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>To win this fight against the most accomplished, skill laden and devastating champion of the lower weight divisions, TJ must use and utilize all of his savvy, defensive capabilities and feline cunning, striving for \u2018\u2019Purrfection,\u2019\u2019especially to cover up from withering body attacks, also avoiding unforced errors and trying to seize on and capitalize upon any fleeting opportunity early, like Donaire and Nery did.<\/p>\n<p>In their case they certainly captured Naoya\u2019s attention, but it didn\u2019t deflect, alter or change the course or ultimate outcome of his dreadnought, purposeful plus ferocious full steam ahead onslaught. That outcome was their comeuppance and their downfall.<\/p>\n<p>From time to time, Dibble irritably warned TC that fur could fly and he risked falling foul of the cop\u2019s nightstick, especially when that cool cat was audaciously yet casually using his police phone, reserved for official business. TC invariably and flippantly brushed this aside\u2026.often with the caviller, caviar retort of: \u2018\u2019OK Officer Dribble!\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>TJ won\u2019t be able to prevent \u2018\u2019Monster\u2019s\u2019\u2019 fearsome clubbing attack. Rather he must try to deflect it and capitalize on any lapse early on, before Naoya gets warmed up, warms to his task and settles into his irresistible molten Blast furnace hammering fighting mode groove.<\/p>\n<p>Terence John Doheny has been a world champion himself and as such he has that extra fighting spirit, panache and touch of class to pose problems. For his part, Naoya will be looking to deliver an onslaught and a blitz asap and pdq.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, as so often, the key to success, will be consistency, focus and its application.
