    Can we talk about Nakatani for a minute.

    Naturally it’s been overshadowed by the Loma-Haney controversy, but man, what a KO that was.

    I think he’s the best fighter at 115. Not saying he’s #1 on resume but I think he’s a very impressive talent.

    Reminds me a little of a more technically sound Sor Rungvisai.

    It was one of the most brutal KOs I’ve seen in some time. And agreed. This kid is going to be a real problem.

        He's tall (for the weight class) and lanky, nothing like Sor Rungvisai lol

          That visual of Moloney lying there all busted up was brutal man. Great shot, walked him straight onto it.

            SSR always imposed his physicality on opponents though. Nakatani does that too. Both love to throw the straight left also.

            Not saying they’re like for like but I see some similarities.

              Happened because Andrew went for it and showed a lot of grit, which made it easy to set him up and time in, Im glad Moloney recovered it was a brutal KO.

              Nakatani is a hell of a fighter he was a class above Moloney, has great footwork and a variable kit of punches, has power on everything good defence and IQ, he will go a long way with the qualities he has, Japan has two greats in the making.

                FULL PACKAGE.

                that reach and power combination is a rare nightmare.
