It's Junto Nakatani week, what do you know about him?

[SouthpawRight]

Well looks like Nakatani was fully prepared and made short work of Astrolabio.

Rudy now also has a second champion in Anthony Olascuaga at flyweight, with only 8 fights under his belt too. Superb coaching by him.

heard the Japanese mentality is perfect for the Mexican style of boxing

Many Japanese would rather die than have it waved
off

it’s a duty bound courage culture based on honor

[Idunnoshet]

Likely a mix of both? But then again Rudy was raised in the states (Los Angeles) so Japanese/American/Mexican?

Japanese born, American crafted?

Nakatani was brought up training in Japan with 16 amateur fights (14-2), only when before turning pro he requested to contact Rudy.

Also I was wrong Hernandez did turn pro at some point, he has a record of 16-4 (6 KOs).

Junto didn't request Rudy just before turning Pro.

He's been training in So - Cal with Rudy since he wad 14 - 15 years old.

He even had a couple Amateur fights in Cali.
