Why study this fighter
Inoue is the precision power technician profile: sharp distance reads, fast entries, body-head punishment, and clean finishing without losing shape. The study value is how power is delivered through timing and position.
Style-study reference only. This is not a claim about level, ability, or matching a champion. Use the diagnostic to compare habits, then bring the result into class or PT.

Study, do not imitate
The point is to spot patterns: pressure, range, rhythm, risk, and defensive habits. The radar below turns those patterns into a readable coaching map.
What to study
- • Distance reads before explosive attacks
- • Body-head power sequencing
- • Finishing while staying technically organised
What not to copy
- • Do not chase knockouts before the setup is clear
- • Do not mistake speed and power for automatic safety
Training translation
- • Use target-call pad rounds where the power shot comes only after a range cue.
- • Practise body-head sequencing at controlled pace before adding speed.
- • Add reset checks after every finish combination.

If this is your match
- • Your result likely values precision, clean power, and fast technical finishing.
