Naoya Inoue takes out Michael Dasmarinas in third round

Unified WBA & IBF world bantamweight titleholder Naoya Inoue did what was expected when he knocked out Filipino challenger Michael Dasmarinas in the 3rd round of their headline bout on Top Rank's card at the Theater at Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas.

Inoue is fast becoming the most exciting boxer performing in the USA and thus one of the most popular. Top Rank knew that the hard-hitting Japanese fighter would prove a big hit to US viewers and each time he produces these high-quality finishes, he sets himself apart from his pound for pound peers with only 'Canelo' Alvarez capable of consistently providing this level of excitement.
