Comments Thread For: Junto Nakatani Set For First Bantamweight Title Defense Against Vincent Astrolabio on July 20

[BigZ44]

Naktani by long and brutal destruction. Hopefully the rest of the division starts unifying, would love to get Takei vs Nishida and Chocolatito vs Inoue

I was hoping for a mini-tournament to quickly unify the division since all four titlists are Japanese -- Nakatani (WBC); Inoue (WBA); Takei (WBO); Nishida (IBF).

With Nishida being in the mix that was not going to happen regardless. Ohashi promotes Inoue and Takei and Teiken (Honda) does Nakatani in Japan, while Nishida is promoted by 3150 (Kameda). Ohashi and Honda are buddies and willing to cooperate with eachother but Teiken and 3150 are essentially enemies will no way either of them fight in one other's platform.

Astrolabio isn't gonna be a walk-over and is a rugged guy, but if Nakatani utilizes his physical advantages like usually does, he should dominate this one. Should be an entertaining matchup.
