Naoya Inoue vs. Junto Nakatani & Takuma Inoue vs. Kazuto Ioka + Jin Sasaki vs. Sora Tanaka RBR.

Both guys have got great chins. Don't want to see anybody accusing Inoue of having suspect whiskers because of the Cardenas and Nery fights after this.

Nakatani with a left hand and a combo early. Inoue with a good right hand and then another one. Nakatani comes back with a left hand, and then attempted another left hand. Combos from Nakatani. Fight ends and they embrace.

Inoue 9-3. Could be 10-2.

 

Man I just don't see anyway Nakatani won 5 rnds

 

9 - 3 Inoue from me. Good fight

 

8-4 I think but didn't do a exact RBR

 

10-2 inoue

 

Easy UD for Inoue. He’s just too fast, too explosive, nobody is going go beat him other than Father Time.

however, based on the card, I think Bam can take out Takuma and Nakatani, but would lose to Inoue similarly.

 

9-3 or perhaps 8-3-1, but judges are rarely generous to Inoue. Wouldn't be surprised by an SD.

 

8-4 Inoue.

It took Junto too long to warm into the fight. Anyway, I’ll definetly watch it if they run it back.

 

7-5 Inoue

Nakatani found lots of holes in Inoue's game

 

I was quite generous to Nakatani, perhaps trying to persuade myself it was a better fight than it was. Still, the timing of the head clash was extremely unlucky.

Amazing second half of the fight.

Naoya wins that 9 - 3.

Make the re-match 15 rounds!

 

Fantastic performance from Inoue. The best fighter on the planet and one of the most extraordinary athletes of our generation.

 

Unfortunate headcut but I think Inoue wanted to brawl at the end instead of sticking to boxing which made it close in the end

 

Nakatani slowed right down after that
