    Haven't seen much of him but his defence seems leakier than the Yamato which doesnt bode well for him.

    Nakatani is a tall, rangy fighter, uses his jab well and has good movement as well. Though his level of opposition is rather leaky and his defense isn't great, Lopez should get the win.

    Anyways who would you favor in a fight between Commey and Lopez?

    Is he the guy in the red corner here? If so, Lopez will knock him out, for sure... Because he's tall, but he hasn't got enough power to keep his opponent at distance and he just leaves himself open, his defense isn't great at all...

    That will be a tough fight for Lopez. I would say, a fight close to 50/50.

    Hopefully this is another one of those Ito-Pitufo like miscalculated **** ups and Nakatani jabs this a-holes teeth down his throat. But... probably not, Nakatani is a little too easy to hit.

    Nakatani stagnated badly after a few really good wins early in his career. A by product of Kazunori Ioka focusing on his son and not the Ioka stable in general
