Comments Thread For: Eduardo Nunez claims IBF junior lightweight title by outpointing Masanori Rikiishi in Japan

As if Ford is going to run into anything.

Im wrong, Im talking about a style and not a fighter. Ford doesnt have the footwork Im discussing. Im low rating the wrong guy about what he doesnt do. Who said he had better footwork than Rishii?

Ford has considerably better footwork than Rikiishi. I think the entire fight with Ford would look like the first three rounds last night, with Nunez chasing his opponent and walking face first into punches.

Ford used to be a boxer/mover, but he seems to be maturing into a boxer-puncher. I see him using his hands and trying to fight off Nunez instead of using his feet to constantly retreat. Nunez leaves openings and Ford will take some risks and try to capitalize on those openings, even if it means it'll lead to exchanges. Ford will not leave unscathed.

Ford lost to Ball and was losing to the Kazak guy.

Sugar vs Foster would be entertaining.
Navarette has a rematch vs Suarez
and Lamont a rematch with Gift Gervonta.

Congratulations to Eduardo Nunez, who fulfilled his promise to his brother who had passed on in 2024.

Hoping that Eddie Hearn gets Eduardo Nunez a homecoming fight opportunity against Anthony Cacace. Nunez had fought both Rakhimov and Rikiishi in their home advantage. Hearn certainly afforded it for the rest of his featherweights (Cordina, Warrington and Wood).

I think the money's either in Belfast or a 5v5 against Cacace!
