That's the card of the year for me unfortunately Kenshiro Teraji or Hayato Tsutsumi didn't fight in this card that's a shame it's true.

I really hope Kazuto Ioka will beat Takuma Inoue, for Naoya Inoue I see him have the decision or maybe a late stoppage is also possible against Junto Nakatani, the underestimate war here is also Sora Tanaka vs Jin Sasaki we will see who is the best Welterweight in Japan. If Sasaki lost it's probably the end of his career, Sora Tanaka is more young and to be honest will be more effective in Super Lightweight or even Lightweight but he definetely have his chances in this fight it's a 50/50, Sora Tanaka have almost the same punching power + he is also very pressure.

I also hope that Reiya Abe can take the decision against Toshiki Shimomachi, I find Toshiki Shimomachi very good but he have some controversy wins in his career for example Misaki Hirano & the UD against Han Sol Lee was also a gift for him. But Shimomachi is the boxing star of the Greentsuda Boxing Gym and he beat Aran Dipaen, On the other hand, we have Reiya Abe, who was robbed against Satoshi Shimizu and Taiki Minamoto. He also had an IBF world title shot; I hope Abe, with his more experience, will take the decision. Reiya Abe was unlucky to had his world chance against Luis Alberto Lopez. But to be honest Reiya Abe vs Toshiki Shimomachi this will be a draw I think even if I prefer Reiya Abe.

That's a big event in Japan I think the audience record of Naoya Inoue vs Junto Nakatani in Japan and in international will absolutely beat the audience record of Daisuke Naito vs Koki Kameda.

I've just watched Nakatani vs Reyes. Nakatani is no way in the same league with Inoue.

Inoue will make quick work of Nakatani. He may finish him in 5. It won’t be a match worth watching.
