    Inoue too good. A mundane fight lit up in the closing rounds to become quite exciting. Inoue did well overcoming the height and reach disadvantage especially when Junto was fencing for many rounds.

    116-113 Inoue.

    Nakatani hasn't learned anything from the Hernandez fight. Same mistakes.

    Inoue putting a hungry contender level effort through most of the fight. Nakatani making it interesting in the final four rounds, but that's hardly enough to sway the scorecards. The 115-113 card is generous for Nakatani.

    The 116-112 cards were how I saw it, but quite a bit wider also works. At point Nakatani was in it, but only briefly.

    Nakatani put up a good fight, he’s definitely an elite fighter.

    After rewatching both Bivol/Beterbiev fights last week this was a bit of a let dow, way too tense and respectful in the first 6 rounds. Not sure the sytyles gelled as well as I was hoping

    Very much so! Maybe 119-109 from me, was too generous, but Nakatani at best won 3 tops.
