Junto Nakatani vs Ryosuke Nishida - ESPN+

[kiaba360]

Nakatani is doomed against Inoue. Too hittable.

Nakatani is making himself available for an obvious reason: Nishida doesn't have power! Nakatani is trying to run him over and is willing to provide openings.

Nakatani always fights like this, he knows no other way. It's admirable but it's 100% getting him slept in the first half of the Inoue fight if he makes it that far.

Nishida impressed me tbh despite having his face rearranged

I thought he was a bit more careless than usual, but the fact remains that Nishida had nothing for Nakatani to be concerned about. Naka either tightens up vs. Inoue or he gets put down, plain and simple. Fortunately for Naka, Inoue likes a rumble and isn't impenetrable. It may be a question of who lands first. I hope Naka becomes 118lb Undisputed first.

I trust Inoue's chin far, far more than I trust Nakatani's.

This is the most aggressive I've ever seen Junto fight.

In his post interview, Nakatani says his strategy was to go hard and cause damage in the first round.

He also says he wanted to entertain the fans, JP champion vs champion.


I don't think he fights like that vs the Monster.

This is how he fights against everybody. It almost got his lights put out against Yabuki and it'll cost him against Inoue.

Huge performance by Nakatani with Inoue in the building.

Fami makes a good point about Nakatani’a defensive issues.

Inoue had to be thinking he would be able to KO Nakatani early because he fights like this.

I also think Nakatani can land effectively.

Man I just want this fight to happen ASAP. It is the fight I want to see more than any other.

Nishida is world class, the timing of those body punches were on point.

What a fight! That's what boxing is about.

looked like Nishida was hurting Nakatani to the body.
