Naoya Inoue vs. Alan Picasso Judges' Scorecards, Punch Stats and Prize Money

Naoya Inoue has done it again. Putting together a dominant defense of his undisputed super bantamweight championship in a unanimous decision win over Alan Picasso in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The scorecards painted a picture of total dominance, but Picasso actually earned some respect. Inoue has become known for shutting out opponents, but the 25-year-old made Inoue look more human than before.

Still, the reigning bantamweight titleholder was still able to mount his signature offense while taking a little more damage than usual.

Inoue's volume was a real problem for Picasso. He was able to do set up some offense off his educated jab, but it was far too seldom for it to make a dent on the scorecards.

Many were expecting the lopsided result, but it only builds excitement toward a Japanese superfight that could really test this version of Inoue.

Junto Nakatani earned a controversial unanimous decision over Sebastian Hernandez on the undercard. Hernandez put forth a Fight of the Year contender-worthy challenge, but couldn't get one judge to see the fight his way.

Regardless, his record now stands at a perfect 32-0 and he's the obvious next challenge for Inoue. Given The Monster showed himself to be a bit more economical this time around, there's a real chance a classic is brewing.

Inoue wouldn't completely commit to the superfight happening after the fight, but he did hint that the Japanese fans will have something to get excited about next year.

"Both of us had very good wins tonight. Next year, we're going to leave it to (the promoters) to decide what to do," Inoue offered. "But for the Japanese fans, you can expect something very good."

At this point, it's the only fight to make in the division.
