PARRENAS FACES A TOUGH FIGHT AGAINST WBO SUPER FLYWEIGHT CHAMPION INOUE By Ronnie Nathanielsz PhilBoxing.com Thu, 10 Dec 2015  Parrenas. WBO Oriental super flyweight champion Warlito Parrenas faces a tough fight when he battles WBC champion Naoya Inoue in the Ariake Coliseum in Tokyo on December 19. British trainer Warren Evison told the New Standard/boxingmirror.com that Parrenas ?certainly has a tough fight against Inoue who is very fast and very strong.? However, Evison said Parrenas has done some power training and is ?relaxed while sparring is going well.? He said they were concentrating ?on more defensive work as well as Parrenas? footwork.? He said Parrenas ?is definitely mentally ready and is focused because this is his last chance? pointing out that the one factor in his favor is that he?s never lost to a Japanese opponent before. The 32 year old Parrenas has a record of 24-6-1 with 21 knockouts and is coming off a controversial split draw in a interim title fight against David Carmona of Mexico last July 24 despite dropping Carmona in the second round and having him in trouble on occasions. The 22 year old Inoue won the WBO super flyweight title with a 2nd round knockout of Argentina?s Omar Narvaez on December 30, 2014. Dan Rafael reported that Inoue dropped Narvaez four times in two rounds en route to winning a world junior bantamweight title.The aggressive Inoue knocked Narvaez (43-2-2, 23 KOs) down twice in the first round, flooring him for the first time with clean right hand to the head just 30 seconds into the fight. Thirty seconds later, he dropped Narvaez again with a short left hook to the temple. Naoya Inoue knocked Inoue applied heavy pressure for the rest of the round, but Narvaez made it to the bell. He was quickly in trouble again as Inoue dropped him to a knee with a quick counter left hook midway through the second round and then delivered a hammering left hook to the ribs to knock him down for the fourth time. Narvaez dropped to his knees, and referee Lou Moret counted him out as the round was ending, sending Inoue and his corner into a wild celebration.
