This analysis is comical. Monster is simply too fast, too agile and too destructive for a fighter like Nakatani, who gets hit too hard and you often at mid-range.

I don't hate Nakatani in this, Upsets are driven by favorites trying to impress and press, putting themselves in compromising situations. Nakatani is a patient fighter, and works well from off the back foot so there is some room for Inoue to allow this thing to become way more interesting than it probably should be. Don't get this post wrong- Inoue has way more tools to work with and more than one way to win, so I am putting zero yen on Nakatani. If Inoue is prepared and calm, this fight could end way earlier than the paying public wants. But there are a couple of scenarios in which a solid, experienced fighter like Nakatani could focus in and makes this an incredible, historic night for himself. This fight has defiantly got an "A" side and a "B" side, but it is not one sided.
Props to both these men. They are both being rewarded for doing this fight when it matters the most.Comment
