The fans see this fight as unilaterally in the benefit of Japanese Superstar Inue. Cardenas is not a big stroke and never fought anyone as talented or was as strong as “fitter” inue. While Cardenas won his last fights, his opposition was mostly a tin of low-level tomatoes.
The fans are angry at the Inoue for choosing Carden to fight in the US instead of Murodjon Akhmadaliev or Alan David Picasso. Some feeling that it is intentionally on inoue and part of its management, putting it with a mediocre opposition. It is a self-default move on the part of the glass, but it may not matter. It is rich and has a huge base of fans in Japan.
