This content is protected Before the fight on Saturday Ioka said he prioritized the fight against Estrada the most in 2023. I do hope Ioka decides to drop the belt and fight Estrada next. Estrada is probably more suspect as he insisted that he wanted unification bouts above all else and since Ioka won't have a belt, the chances of it happening may be diminished. Fingers crossed Estrada's charge makes the Ioka fight - terrific bout between two HOF fighters and have the WBO order Nakatani vs Tanaka - another awesome fight.
Junto is going to be ordered as his mandatory. This will be his fourth mandatory in 3 1/2 years of holding the title.
The only downside i see to this is the possibility of an upset and derailing the fight with estrada. Aside from that, going from nakatani to estrada, if all goes well, only enhances his resume and that's never a bad thing
El Gallo hits harder than Franco he was in ring side scouting the next opponent a tough fight for Ioka.
Let's go, been wanting to see these 2 duke it out. It's a nice match up between 2 skilled stylists. Should be a fascinating technical fight.
