RJJ,

Inoue Dec Clear
Nakatani KO Late.

[jas]

Tatabanya, Ancajas, KO, late
Tatabanya, Nakatani, KO, mid

interesting, dont think ancajas is the same fighter as he once was, i watched the oubaali fight vs inoue , southpaw opponent. looks like this is gonna be a close decision type fight

watched nakatani vs argi cortes , nakatani is predominately overhand left, didnt see that much variety and argi has alwsays been weak to the body, estrada dropped him with not a hard looking body shot

santiago definitely can walk into a huge left hand , did it vs russell a southpaw and got hit vs doniares left hook, but his chin seems super solid, and nakatani is moving up again in a short space of time. i initially thought before taping that nakatani would get a ko but not sure now

Inoue decision close
Nakatani ko late

with the nakatani ko mate, santiagos gas tank seems legit, preserves it too, and nakatani didnt really push on the gas vs argi until the last round. not sure theres gonna be enough sequences for a ko but with nakatanis power arguably jus takes one to do it, but at the same time nakatani did get buzzed vs argi, dont think hes gonna jus walk through santiago.

To be honest, I'm not sure about any of my two picks, and I also believe that Ancajas has been diminished by the Martinez fights. Still, I see his level way superior to Inoue's, which to me is a mediocre fighter. But if they go to the cards, indeed I doubt they're gonna give it to Ancajas, so all he needs is a knockout - and he can do it, for me.

Santiago is tough, but Nakatani might take him out with consistently solid punching. Something that Donaire did not manage to achieve.

[Joseph]

I'm assuming this card begins at the ass crack of 6 AM?

Bash! Flimsha!

yeah agree i think it will either by a late tko from accumulation or a points win for Nakatani. Think Berlanga sleeps the irishman too.. even if the ko's completely dried up soon as he stopped fighting can's.
