Much closer fight than the cards show. Lots of close rounds. Either one could've won. Tanaka refused to make the fight outside of Japan with good reason. I don't think he can beat Acosta in the US without Acosta having to take that long trip to Japan. Acosta should've been in Japan weeks ago to get acclimated.
