Naoya Inoue vs. Ramon Cardenas: Start time, ring walk, and streaming info.
Undefeated and undisputed super bantamweight champion Naoya Inoue is set to defend his titles against Ramon Cardenas on Sunday, May 4, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The Inoue vs. Cardenas boxing bout headlines the main card, which also features six undercard fights, including Rohan Polanco putting his WBO Intercontinental welterweight title on the line against Fabian Maidana and Emiliano Fernando Vargas facing Juan Leon for the NABF Junior welterweight title.
Nicknamed “The Monster,” Inoue has a fearsome 89.66% knockout rate, having stopped 26 of his 29 opponents. He has successfully defended his undisputed crown three times, against Luis Nery, TJ Doheny, and most recently Kim Ye-Joon, winning two of those bouts by knockout.

He hit his stride in late 2023 with a statement-making second-round knockout of then-unbeaten Rafael Pedroza. Most recently, he earned a decision win over Bryan Acosta, adding to his growing momentum heading into the biggest fight of his career.
