would love to see a rematch in Ronin Junto's next fight or the one after

Ronin Junto had momentum in the second half and was winning rounds until 10th round cut halted his momentum

P4P KING Naruto Ninja Naoya pulled out his bag of veteran tricks in the championship rounds to secure a decision 116-112

Super cagy and high level chess in the first 5-6 rounds hard to really score. Then Nakatani took over and pulled away, sometimes missing KO shots by an inch. Cut in the 10 that resulted in a complete momentum change and Nakatani visible hurt on his eye cost him the 11 & 12.

Without the cut it's very likely Nakatani would have pulled it off but this is boxing, so Inoue deserves to be the winner of a super close fight.

Great fight. Inoue responded to everything thrown at him. What a freaking beast. He is so worthy of the P4P title, and I care so little about that. But it is hard to argue at this point. Nakatani fought well.

Yep i agree i want to see a rematch.

Have Bam fight Takuma Inoue in the meantime after his debute at 118. If he wins both fights he can move up to fight either Nakatani or Inoue.

I knew this fight will be super close and i thought Nakatani will catch Inoue. Cant understand how some people thought Inoue will have an easy time. Nakatani is the definition of an elite P4P fighter

it took Ronin Junto awhile to figure out how to fight with his jab being neutralized by Naruto Ninja Naoya from the opening bell

this delay won't be there in the rematch

I think the scores between the two fighters are bigger that it was, Nakatani didn't do well in this fight, and he didn't give enough pressure to Inoue. If he could give more pressure early, maybe that will be a different result.

Inoue a clear winner, tough cagey fight for both respect to nakatani, Inoue cat like reflex's got him out of trouble a few times, but nakatani early reluctance to engage with Inoue for the first 5 wasn't going to do him any good in a 12 round fight, but that the problem, good fight I enjoyed it.
