    This was Nakatani’s best round and it seems like he’s making a comeback.

    Round 1: Inoue
    Round 2: Inoue
    Round 3: Inoue
    Round 4: Inoue
    Round 5: Inoue (Close)
    Round 6: Inoue (Close)
    Round 7: Inoue
    Round 8: Inoue (Close)
    Round 9: Nakatani
    Round 10: Nakatani

    Nakatani coming on. He's throwing like mad. He's landing on Inoue now and he's getting confident. Inoue feeling wary of Nakatani's pressure. Headbutt and blood is flowing down the middle of the forehand. Not flowing into the eye, so that's good. Next 2 rounds are going to be very interesting.

    Round 1 Inoue 10-9
    Round 2 Inoue 10-9
    Round 3 Inoue 10-9
    Round 4 Inoue 10-9
    Round 5 Inoue 10-9
    Round 6 Inoue 10-9
    Round 7 Inoue 10-9
    Round 8 Inoue 10-9
    Round 9 Inoue 10-9
    Round 10 Nakatani 10-9

    Junto going all out, Inoue looking a bit gassed, eats a nasty right hook, he gets overeager, Junto cut in a head clas. They both get a break. This might help out Naoya. Junto right back on him. Inoue throwing counters. Junto working the body.

    Round 1 10-9 Inoue
    Round 2 10-9 Inoue
    Round 3 10-9 Inoue
    Round 4 10-9 Inoue
    Round 5 10-9 Inoue close

    Round 7 10-9 Inoue
    Round 8 10-9 Inoue
    Round 9 10-9 Nakatani
    Round 10 10-9 Nakatani

    Nakatani's best work in back to back rounds. Starting to effectively pressure Inoue who started to tire two rounds ago. Inoue finding himself even more up against the ropes.

    Draw potential coming up if Nakatani continues with this momentum

    Commentators biased in favor of Nakatani.

    Inoue is well ahead.

    R1 - close but Inoue
    R2 - Inoue sneaked his shots.
    R3 - Inoue has better control
    R4 - Inoue landed all the shots
    R5 - Nakatani had some success later in the round but round was better controlled by Inoue
    R6 - Closest round of the fight. Still I lean towards Inoue
    R7 - Inoue simply too expensive. Despite his age, it's strange.
    R8 - Inoue edged it.
    R9 - Nakatani
    R10 - Nakatani finally started using his reach in previous 2 rounds. Waited Inoue to tire out and lose explosiveness?
    8-2
