Rd 9 prob Nakatani just... he's dlowly moving fed throwing but neither landing huge..
Inoue tiring a bit

 

6-3 Inoue

 

R1 - close but Inoue
R2 - Inoue sneaked his shots.
R3 - Inoue has better control
R4 - Inoue landed all the shots
R5 - Nakatani had some success later in the round but round was better controlled by Inoue
R6 - Closest round of the fight. Still I lean towards Inoue
R7 - Inoue simply too expensive. Despite his age, it's strange.
R8 - Inoue edged it.
R9 - Nakatani edged it i think, still close.
8-1

 

Not done a RBR but feels like 6-3 Inoue.

 

6-3, round goes to Junto. Really feeling himself now. Backing up Inoue consistently and landing some damn good shots. Inoue is still in the fight but seems to have tired just a bit.
