    I think these are criminal. Especially 115-113. I can see a Nakatani favored scoring where he snatched 4 but he gets 3 at most in my card. and 115-113 is weird AF tbh.

    Of course bad judging has never occurred in boxing.

    Inoue is the best pfp fighter in the world.

    Also hats off to Junto he's the real deal too.

    115-113 Inoue

    Nakatani took too long to get going and got that bad cut late

    Second half was really good, great boxing by both

    Curious to see the punch stat both guys missed by a fraction and many punches that looked like connects live missed by a fraction

    Thats the most respect inoue has shown an opponent and the best an opponent took his power

    I would like a rematch

    No shame in losing to Inoue. Nakatani will be back. He’s still dangerous for every fighter he faces not named Naoya Inoue.

    Bam needs to worry about Nakatani, nevermind Inoue. Nakatani should even go back down to 118 and corner BAM into a fight.

    Nakatani was very overrated. Easy win for Inoue.

    fight was more tactical and tentative than i expected for majority of the fight. looked pretty clear for inoue still. he never looked in trouble or even much bothered. naoya doesnt look like hes lost much yet, still looks fast and sharp.

    Both of these guys will beat Bam for what it's worth; I hope the commentators don't start bringing him up.

    Par for the course in Japan, they love humbling and ****ing over their own fighters. They've probably wanted to rob Inoue for years, so they overreacted to all of those glove punches, thinking they had their chance.

    It's amazing the way judges keep inventing rounds against Inoue despite being a champion on his home ground. Never seen anything like it.

    He looks fast and sharp but stamina looked to drop a little bit which let Junto take some rounds

    Then he came roaring back and taxed dat ass.:deal:

    Absolutely. Inoue won that comfortably.
