Nunez's inactivity could be a problem. He's lucky that Rikiishi is only 2 months more active than him.

Not going to be able to see it. But rooting for Nunez

Just want to note two facts about him:

Eduardo had promised his dying brother Luis Fernando that he will become champion, who died shortly before his fight with Rakhimov. He had been fully focusing on training and sparring at art Kochul Gym.

He is also training with the well-known Montiel family, who has produced champions like three division (112-118) champion Fernando Montiel and Jorge Paez (126). They are currently training fighters like Jorge Garcia Perez (154), Manuel Gallegos (175), and Miguel Esparza (130) along with Eduardo Nunez. All of them coming off big wins Gallegos (Coe), Perez (Conwell) and Esparza (Angel Daniel Garcia and Shun Sekine) after they got their opportunities.

Nunez vs Rikiishi is about to start.

[famicommander]

Nunez looking like a basic plodder so far. He needs to cut the ring off and catch Rikiishi with something hard.

Rikiishi starting to wilt, not throwing enough punches

Rikiishi coming on strong at the end of the 5th, good scrap so far

Nunez is relentless. rikiishi trying to fight back bravely, think he's stunned Nunez a couple of times. great fight.
