It is a good comeback fight for Loma.
Lomachenko-Nakatani is way more intriguing than the PPV option

Should be a good fight. I was surprised by how much stronger and filled out Nakatani was vs Verdejo. Then I remembered Ward mentioning he had a terrible weight cut for the Lopez fight.Comment

I'll probably watch the BKFC show live and DVR the Lomachenko fight.
The BKFC show has three journeyman boxers fighting for world championships against top level MMA guys
Former UFC fighter Joey Beltran defends against Sam Shewmaker (4-1-1-0 in bare knuckle, 5-1-0-0 in pro boxing)
Former Bellator fighter Luis Palomino defends against Tyler Goodjohn (3-0-0-0 in bare knuckle, 13-5-0-0 in pro boxing)
Former UFC title challenger Thiago Alves vs Uly Diaz (2-0-0-0 in bare knuckle, 12-1-0-0 in boxing, 1-0-0-0 in pro MMA)Comment

It's what I expect but I will be pulling for Nakatani. He's a big, rugged power puncher and he brings it. I expect Loma to use his footwork and angles to frustrate and potshot the Japanese fighter.Good stuff, that's the fight you should watch then!
Excited for it as well. Always nice to watch Lomachenko and Nakatani is warrior who won't stop bringing it. But Verdejo was beating him with ease, until he wasn't...I don't expect Lomachenko to get broken down like that.
Lomachenko via wide UD.
As for Tank and Barrios, I expect it to be a decent action fight with an inevitable sudden ending; Barrios leaves himself wide open for a fight stopping left counter hook. The Lubin/Rosario fight is tempting but I can't justify the PPV for that.Comment

Barrios took some major punishment from Akhmedov from rounds 5-11 and never dropped and still had power to drop Ahkmedov in the 12th round. I'm just not sure Tank blitzes him like many think nor am I completely sold of his power traveling to 140.

Yeah, Lomachenko should do his thing against Nakatani. He should be able to get his shots off at will and box well enough to take little punishment.Comment
