    Casual fans will simply side with Nakatani with the wrong scoring...

    Unless the media makes a really big fuss over it, which happens soooo rarely.

    I had Nakatani winning but 118-110 is outrageously too definitive...anyways it's time for the co-main event, Inoue vs Picasso, and after that we have the main event, Me vs sleep

    Apparently looked very good in the first three rounds, but I tuned in from the 7th on and saw him get his ass kicked from pillar to post.

    Going to have to rewatch that Nakatani fight again, I don't think Hernandez did enough to scream robbery, he was smothering a lot of his own work, and when Nakatani got on his bike and started boxing, he was clearly the much better technician, but he got dragged into the wrong fight, he still nicked at least two rounds in the last half of the fight to take the W for me. I'll have to rewatch it.

    Nakatani did some good clean work especially in the first half but tried to spoil in the last minute or so running and holding. Hernandez landed some good shots but lots of it got blocked or smothered so hardly a "beatdown"

    Keep crying. It was a close fight with not much in it. a draw would have probably been the most fair score but 115-113 either way is also fair. 118-110 is abominable score but you're one to talk about bias looking at your card. My view is hardly out of line with the majority of this thread who had the fight very close and didn't see it as the landslide for Hernandez that you did.

    Is it just me or is there no commentary team for this fight?

    Edit: Disregard just came in.

    As a nakatani skeptic, he made his career beating guys naturally smaller than him, some even battle-torn like melindo and acosta. Only one ive given him full credit beating is nishida but nishida is chickenfisted and paper-balloom skin. Nakatani is good, no doubt about that, but his resume is smokes and mirrors

    So close... literally no one had it for Nakatani. Keep being in denial. Your fanboying knows no limits.

    If Nakatani could've kept moving and kept it at range he would've won but he couldn't sustain it. As I said, even when he might not have been being outworked on the inside which he generally was being, it still looked like he was and that he was the one who was uncomfortable in there, whereas, conversely, Hernandez didn't seem phased all night no matter how clean, hard and often he got caught
