Comments Thread For: Junto Nakatani confirms move to 122lbs, will vacate WBC/IBF bantamweight titles

I've never seen Junto hurt.
He's got good defense and adept at controlling distance.

Also Junto towers over Bam.

Bam looked slick against the South African guy, because his opponent didn't throw any combinations.

Junto comes in at every angle, hard. and doesn't have any weak areas, inside, going back, etc.

Size will be a big factor over Bam.
I can see Junto hurting Bam.

Bam is a much more accurate puncher and he's much more defensively responsible. He will break Nakatani down and stop him without too much trouble. So will Inoue.

LThat's your biased opinion. I think highly of Bam too, but to think he's just going to roll over the 5'8" Nakatani at 118 is dreaming.

Please don't mention Bam in the same paragraph as Monster Inoue.

Junto and Naoya trilogy?

1st Japan

next Saudi

and finally Vegas

Trilogy for what? Did Fulton want a rematch after Monster destroyed him? Inoue is like Hagler ~ one beating us usually enough.

Give me Nakatani vs Tapales for his jump into 122

that would be good but tapales is a southpaw so maybe not the best preparation. i think i heard cardenas might be the opponent but nothing set

Why on earth would he do that? Bam would likely knock him out and then no Inoue paycheck for Nakatani.

Junto would knock Bam out. Not the other way around.

The same goes the other way around. Inoue gets hit hurt and dropped by guys with less skill, precision and power than nakatani. Plus Nakatani looks like a guy who will gain power and punch resistance by filling out at a higher weight, thats usually the case for these lenghty skinny guys.

Thats dumb cause Inoue was off the balance for being too aggressive and then he gets to work and dominates. Same thing happened to Nakatani when he got dropped by domestic level fighter Yuma Kudo cause he was off balance.

Cardenas, Donaire, and Nery are all power puncher who fight at higher weightclass. While Nakatani has not faced a single puncher in his career. It don't work that way, you see when you're skinny you move well but adding weight means you become slow that's why moving up is one of the most difficulty things do to in boxing.

Bam is far better as far as placing his punches and his defense is loads better.

Bam already tried to make the Nakatani fight but Junto turned it down, so Bam accepted the Martinez fight instead.

Bam beats both junto and naoya… that kid is destined to become and all time great

Inoue crushes bam, anyone with a brain can see it. Monster too powerful and fast.
