INOUE'S TRAINER-FATHER PUSHED BY TEAM RODRIGUEZ MEMBER AT MEDIA WORKOUT IN GLASGOW

PhilBoxing.com



Shingo (L) and Naoya Inoue.

A member of Rodriguez?s team pushed Inoue?s father and trainer, Shingo Inoue when he was taking photos of the Puerto Rican IBF titleholder who performed his training with renowned coach Freddie Roach.

?It was an open workout so naturally I was taking pictures and using the phone. A guy came over, after staring down at us from the ring, and said I couldn?t do it and pushed me aside. That was very ungentlemanlike,? said Shingo Inoue after his son?s workout.

?The two fighters who have actually trained for this that?s what we are here to see and who is the better fighter. Outside of the ring, nothing needs to be hostile.?

Tensions were running high, but Team Inoue is not going to use it as fuel in Saturday?s semi-final.

?I don?t think of those petty things and get emotional. It?s between Inoue and Rodriguez and that?s what they are here for. Let them work it out,? concluded The Ring Magazine?s ?2018 Trainer of the Year?.

Team Rodriguez didn?t stay to watch Inoue?s workout, but the champion himself was in a good and talkative mood after his session. And he made it clear that he is in Scotland to make a statement.

?We are going to shut some mouths,? said Rodriguez referring to Inoue being called the favourite by press and boxing fans. ?I am going to take it round by round and in the end, I will win either by KO or decision.?

Naoya Inoue didn?t see the incident with his father, but he was oozing self-confidence and fully focused on the task ahead of him.

?I am in great shape, I can?t wait for the fight. I am going to knockout Rodriguez on Saturday,? said the WBA champion. ?I can?t predict the round, but I am going for the KO and it will happen sooner or later. I know what everyone is expecting from me.?
