CBSN
Inoue was knocked down for the first time in his career in Round 1, which only seemed to add fuel to his fire over the rest of the fight
If undisputed junior featherweight champion Naoya Inoue truly was the pound-for-pound best in boxing, Luis Nery made sure to make him prove it on Monday morning.
Inoue (27-0, 24 KOs) was forced to get up off the canvas in Round 1 after being dropped for the first time in his 27-bout pro career. But "The Monster" rallied to score a trio of thrilling knockdowns en route to a sixth-round finish of Nery (35-2, 27 KOs), a former two-division champion, in their 122-pound title bout in Tokyo.
The fight, contested in front of more than 40,000 fans inside the Tokyo Dome, marked the venue's first major boxing event since James "Buster" Douglas upset Mike Tyson in 1990.
