    This fight was at 115. No doubt he’ll be at 118 in the near future though.
    I might have confused Junior Bantamweight (Super Flyweight) with Bantamweight.

    Still though, both divisions are frigging stacked so I either way I don't mind.

    It be a pretty good feat if Junto Nakatani became the first Japanese fighter that conquered four-five divisions (112-126).

      He seemingly has the physical potential to move through the weights. I think Bantamweight is definitely in his near future. Jason Moloney holds a title currently so they could use the fact he beat Andrew to sell that fight.

      Ioka is leading that race with 4 I think, unless there’s somebody I’m forgetting. Shame Inoue skipped over 112 or he could’ve been challenging Fulton for his 5th divisional title.

        Nakatani's 2nd fight in the U.S. was a resounding success. Wins a title, gets a spectacular KO, and showcases his skill-set. I wish we could magically de-age Gonzalez and Estrada, so they could compete with this current crop of 112-115lbers.

          He is definitely one to keep an eye on. I had forgotten about him until this past weekend but now he will surely become a must watch.
