    Someone literally plugged Buffer in, there's no connection in his eyes to what's coming out of his mouth

    its definitely up there. usually fights happen too late or not at all. Inoue has been a taad slipping and Nakatani is in his super prime, but this is the closest to both of their primes we can get this fight which is HUGE this day and age. watch and learn, western boxers!

    Inoue bringing a whole orchestra, 10-9 to him based on the walkouts alone

    I love how the Japanese never get enough of robbing their own fighters, especially in favor of featherfisted Dominicans and Puerto Ricans. Until it's a Chinese fighter that is.:lol: Still have though WWII resentments. Ironic, since it's the Chinese who should still have a wicked vendetta.

    I think if Inoue is on point he should take this without *too* much trouble, but I do think he's slipped a bit over the last year or two.

    Has seemed increasingly hittable and his power has not been quite as destructive at 122. With that being said he's still by far the most dominant fighter in the sport and I think he'll be able to pull it off against Junto. As capable as Junto is and as hittable as Inoue has seemed recently, Junto is usually even more hittable. Inoue will need to watch for that counter left though, but one would assume he'll be prepared for it since it's basically Junto's main and most well known weapon.
