Also don't think I be able to watch it live, think Nakatani gets the TKO/KO during the 6-7 rounds if David manages to endure that long, Junto's just too strong and refined by experience at 118, think Junto's team is trying to get some experience in fighting an opponent that is just as tall as him, as he will likely eventually move up to 126 in the future and tends to fight tall overextending shots which leaves himself open. Which was shown against shorter opponents like Moloney and Cortes. He wasn't hurt, at least for long and he dominated his opponents, but he was caught a few times despite them being shorter with him managing distance, Rudy might be trying to fill the gaps in his game.

Cuellar isn't technically special by any means and his size along with his chin might prelong him in the fight if Nakatani doesn't catch him early, but he has just shown that he is a durable fighter with fierce uppercuts and throws long hooks, one caused the death of Moises Fuentes, a fighter that had been retired for 3 years and belonged at 105-112. He also tricks his opponents by feinting a bit then catches them. He has no experience agaisn't elite competition though. As his resume shows a lot of opponents with double digit losing streaks.

29-0 Junto Nakatani vs 28-0 David Cuellar
Decent challenge for Junto. Cuellar has some power, but Nakatani is just all around in a diff level.


12-0-2 Seiya Tsutsumi vs 21-3-1 Daigo Higa
This is going to be a slugfest war. Both aggressive, both throw everything into their punches. Higa is on a comeback...
But Tsutsumi has been like a terminator. He never gets tired.


5-0 Tenshin Nasukawa vs 27-3 Jason Moloney
Tenshin is the heavy favorite. A step up before he goes for the belt.

Tuning in now. Looks like Diago has a hair style that won't block his vision, like in his last fight.

[famicommander]

Both guys looking sharp early. Should be a good one.
