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

Was to gent who had fight even. I have Inoue up 6-0. Fight by no means over.

 

Not the fight that we all hoped it would be but a great disciplined performance from Inoue. Hes just on another level.

 

6-1 inoue

Round 6: Inoue (Close)
Round 7: Inoue

Nakatani threw a 5 punches combo and tried to open up. Inoue lands a big right hand... the cleanest shot of the fight and Nakatani felt that one. He takes a few step back to mask the pain and starting moving forward again. Inoue sniping from the outside and Nakatani tries push forward.

Nakatani has to step it up now. He's losing the fight badly.

R6 - Closest round of the fight. Still I lean towards Inoue

Rd 7 Im giving Inoue again...
Nakatani looks like he banking on catching him 9-12 but Inoue giving nothing away

 

R7 Inoue, 70-63
Decent first minute from Nakatani but from therein Inoue took over

 

Inoue has been excellent so far.

 

Nakatani needs to throw

Letting the fight slip away

 

Nakatani really has to make something happen here. He’s won like one round.
