Naoya Inoue vs Junto Nakatani - DAZN

[dan_cov]

Thought Inoue won but both are painfully overrated.

Supposed P4P #1 who is incapable of throwing anything without bringing his chin up and dropping his hands, zero clue how to fight a southpaw and the other spent 8 rounds throwing nothing but faints and backing up, the most basic excuse for a southpaw you're ever likely to see. His timing was diabolical.
Literally did nothing but faint, wait for the right hand then wait some 20 minutes before throwing some slow as anything attempt of a counter left hand. Joe Joyce has faster reactions.

There is nothing elite about either its just make believe nonsense and groupthink. Neither are close to being elite fighters, they're the products of a dead sport

No, Ennis who never beat anybody is elite.

LOL... Fans scored it 117-111 Inoue on BoxRec...

[Damn Wicked]

I think Inoue did enough to win. I think both guys were hurt. Inoue looked bad in rounds 8 and 9. He looked tired and hurt. Nakatani looked hurt in the 11th and in an earlier round. I think the right guy got the win.

What a great fight!
That was a clear Inoue win. But Junto was a beast.... I was really surprised to see how quick Junto was.


Inoue's saying he's exausted fighting 5 times in the last 16 months... he wants to take a rest....
Don't blame him.

Anyway P4P#1 now. I think Junto stays or goes up 1 slot.


I like to see Junto X Bam.

A top P4P fights a great opponent, pulling it out in the championship rounds, wins a close fight against someone who is supposed to be his biggest rival. Boxing fans should appreciate the fight happening and realize that a fight between two top fighters SHOULD produce something close.

ive said this for years about inoue...

[JOITATS]

Inoue's been through too many training camps... nonstop stress

he needs to recharge for a while....

[Moz_boxing]

Good not great fight. No need for a rematch, Inoue clearly won.

Clearly won the last 2 rounds. Clearly lost 3 rounds and 7 rounds are completely pick em rounds you impossible cant give to anyone with confidence. Inoues only clear roundsare due to the Cut and impaired vision of Nakatani.

Rematch must happen

Both are levels above Ennis and miles miles above Devin Haney. Inoue has flaws but is exceptional. Haney has flaws and is average maybe decent. Nakatani is still young and is exceptional as well. Ennis is not even young anymore and still a prospect fighting nobodies and getting frustrated by Karens.
