It's hard to argue with those who say Naoya Inoue's debut win over Crison Omayao was very impressive. For others however the true genius of Inoue wasn't visible until his second professional bout, a contest with Thailand's Ngaoprajan Chuwatana. Chuwatana had come to the ring with a 19 fight record, it wasn't particularly impressive with 10 losses and 9 wins but he had proven tricky to stop with Suriyan Sor Rungvisai, Ryo Miyazaki and Jonathan Taconing all going the distance with him and Katsunari Takayama taking 9 rounds to stop him. And he had also shown serious power with 9 stoppages, stoppages that had helped him win the Thai national title. The Thai's reputation as a tough and heavy handed fighter really didn't seem to help him and within 2 minutes if the fight starting Inoue landed one of the most perfect left hooks you are ever likely to see. It sent Chuwatana down like he'd been shot and although he showed amazing heart to get his feet he was unfit to continue as he stumbled for a few moments and forced the referee to stop the bout.
