Naoya Inoue vs Junto Nakatani prediction thread

Inoue KO8

 

2 times, huh?

Saying multiple times makes it sound more dramatic than if you say a couple or a few though I suppose multiple times could also simply mean more than once.

 

Inoue on points, more experience down the stretch.

 

People should not underestimate Nakatani in this fight.

He's rangy, he's a southpaw and he has a lot of power in both hands. His last fight, a new weigh class debut against a tough fighter gave the perception of him being less capable, but he's a very dangerous fighter.

Inoue better watch out for Nakatani's left hand because if he gets hit by it flush, it could knock him out. Nakatani's defense is not as good as Inoue, but he's going to tightening it up for this fight. He's going to be cautious and he's going to use his range a bit more instead of getting reckless. If Nakatani keeps the fight at range, he's going to try to set up the left hook as Inoue comes in.

The odds are a bit wide for this fight, but I think it's more like -200 for Inoue. I have him as the favorite to win, but don't be surprised if Nakatani shocks the boxing world with a left hook KO win.

I'm expecting a great tactical fight with dangerous moments for both.

 

Was just rewatching Nakatani vs Nishida and it had me thinking if we might see something like that from Nakatani. Nakatani looked like a wrecking ball with that aggression. This fight will definitely bring the best out of both fighters I think.

 

Nakatani has absolutely no chance and he's getting cut down like a Sequoia tree. I don't care if he's a tough rangy southpaw and Inoue has gotten dropped twice by southpaws, at the end of the day size matters and Inoue is too big and too strong, the odds of Inoue losing to someone from his own country would be too ironic

 

No you're not.

 

Just give me your money if you are going to throw it away.

In the words of the great George Foreman during the MSG incident:
“dont do it son,dont do it.”

 

Never bet big on boxing.

 

One shot KOs at this level are rare. Let that sink in and then make your choice.
