I thought it was a draw.

That was a fairly easy, clear cut win for Tenshin. He improved so much since Mayweather whupped him when he was a total boxing novice. Didn't expect him to beat Maloney so easily.

Remember he's a bantamweight, and Mayweather was at least a super welterweight on the night. People want to give Crawford credit for moving up 2-3 divisions, but can't recognize that Nasukawa was fighting one of the greats 7 divisions up? To top it off, Mayweather had said it was supposed to just be an exhibition with no knockouts. Zero class at all from Mayweather.

And again. SEVEN. DIVISIONS.

How do you think Tank Davis does against, say Opetaia or Usyk, especially if he has to do it in his very first boxing fight?

People need to GTFO talking about Mayweather when it comes to Tenshin Nasukawa. He's a POS for fighting a guy that much smaller. Manny Pacquiao took 14 years to move up 7 weight classes. Nasukawa did it in his first ever time boxing. Why does nobody ever figure this out?

Mayweather does it for the casuals that don't know wtf is going on. It's a good look for him in their eyes. Though yeah, it was an exhibition, thus why the dude had zero losses on his record.

Tbf to him he was a bantamweight fighting Mayweather who was about the size of a middleweight almost in the ring, not to mention Floyd is one of the best fighters of all time and he was a kickboxing champ who has never had a pro fight before. Ofc he was gonna get demolished and floyd knew that and that's why it was a easy 5 million dollar payday or whatever it was. But Tenshin can definitely do something in boxing now if he's beating guys like Maloney in 6 pro fights. Won't be shocked if he wins a world title very soon

If anyone's going to mention Mayweather in reference to Nasukawa, they need to point out that he's fighting up 7 weight divisions. How would Mayweather have fared against Klitschko, for instance? People in the US especially are terrible about dismissing Tenshin because of that farce.

Floyd said ggg was nothing special but was too scared to back those words up at 160.

A 120 lb kickboxer yeah that's more in his risk wheelhouse

It was a kick ass fight. I thought it was pretty close to a draw myself, but fine with the decision. This kid is one to watch.

I wonder if he'll figure out how to get power in his hands. He's got knockouts with the hands in kickboxing. It's sorta bizarre how little power he seems to have in boxing. Boy is his footwork good though, especially for a 6-0 contender. I thought he cleaned house pretty good on Moloney, who had two good rounds, but otherwise mostly just had moments. Could maybe give him the last couple rounds, but even then he still loses the fight by two rounds. Tenshin landed a lot more punches, and even though the best punch of the fight was landed by Moloney (the 1-2 in 6), that was still just one round, and it didn't even result in a KD.

Sounds like he's taking on Yoshiki Takei next, while Junto is unifying with IBF champ Nishida. I assume Tsutsumi will be fighting Antonio Vargas. If Nasukawa can get past Takei, he'd be a HUGE money fight for Nakatani, even if he'd be really overmatched, since he's been co-main even since his debut, over world title fights. Don't know if they'd want to risk that though.
