All the ways to watch Inoue vs Picasso live streams online, including PPV options as the Monster defends his undisputed super bantamweight crown against El Rey.
The Naoya Inoue vs Alan Picasso live stream is the final big boxing event of the year and also a contender for fight of the year. The Monster will defend his undisputed super bantamweight title against El Rey who is also unbeaten and has the skills to cause the Japanese pound-for-pound king some trouble.
Picasso may lack his opponent's artistic brushstrokes but the unbeaten Mexican isn't one to be taken lightly. El Rey has just one draw from his 32 professional fights – a technical draw in his fifth outing – and though he hasn't faced the same quality of opponent as his illustrious Japanese opponent, any fighter who is yet to taste defeat is a danger. He has significant advantages in height and reach and if he can box at range and stay out of Inoue's body shots then he has a chance of causing an upset, however unlikely.
