    First of all, let's just be glad Maloney's alive, that shot wasn't baloney.

    An agile, rangy, powerful southpaw with excellent ring IQ & deadly accuracy + timing, two division champion Junto Nakatani reminds me of Sergio(e) and the Paul Williams KO. The next Japanese P4P fighter adds his name to the super(b)flyweight roster of Gonzalez, Estrada, Ioka & brahs Rodrigues & Franco, and he's only growing into the division and his prime at Haney/Shakur age. Sky is the limit for him and sporting Rudy Hernandez in the corner with American training camps and now exposure, he could be the next international Japanese star as well.

    Uppercuts from inside and out, the occasional body shot (he can work on), huge snap at range and the frame that probably can carry plenty of muscles up to 126 lbs, Nakatani could compete in 5 divisions (this 115 is his second) and likely pick up ABC belts.

    Deep stance, power-punching southpaw who has mastered the uppercut.

    I'm only human.

    Junto(e) gots the hots all right! Still in shock commentators didn't pick up Williams being KTFO the moment the punch landed and acted as if it was some random knockdown. These are career ending punches.

    Damn right he did, and just when he needed to pull out his career best performance.

    Jason's a world champ so that's a tad harsh. They're both very good boxers, just not elite.

    Ah now they got knocked out by the two best punchers coming out of Japan which seems to be producing power punching beasts like it's going out of fashion lately.
