By posting two consecutive first-round knockout victories, boxer Naoya Inoue has begun to make people think that he might actually be better than he had been advertised.

In late May, he stunned boxing fans by finishing British champion Jamie McDonnell off a little less than two minutes into their WBA bantamweight title match.

And on Sunday night, he had another no-sweat performance, knocking out former champ Juan Carlos Payano with electrifying one-two blows just 1 minute, 10 seconds after the opening bell in their World Boxing Super Series tournament bout at Yokohama Arena.
