    Once in a generation kind of fight. The most prolific fight in Japanese boxing history.

    This is like Goku vs Broly.

    It’s happening tomorrow on Saturday? I’ve been so used to getting up early to watch Inoue fights on a Tuesday weekday for so long.

    It's happening around 10 or 11 hours from now. I'll have a RBR up for it, which I intend on doing.

    Inoue vs Nakatani for some reason reminds me of Ip Man vs Cheung Tin-chi from the movie Ip Man 3. Junto even looks like Cheung Tin-chi. Outcome will likely be the same, the old Grandmaster teaching the younger fighter a lesson, in which he learns and spins off into his own movie. Likewise Junto will learn from his defeat and dominate the rest at 122 or 118.
