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

Inoue too good. A mundane fight lit up in the closing rounds to become quite exciting. Inoue did well overcoming the height and reach disadvantage especially when Junto was fencing for many rounds.

 

Typo?

Inoue UD

Cards way too close IMO, especially 115-113

 

116-113 Inoue.

Nakatani hasn't learned anything from the Hernandez fight. Same mistakes.

 

Card were way to close.

 

Eh way too close imo

 

Inoue putting a hungry contender level effort through most of the fight. Nakatani making it interesting in the final four rounds, but that's hardly enough to sway the scorecards. The 115-113 card is generous for Nakatani.

 

Good balanced scoring by these judges

 

The 116-112 cards were how I saw it, but quite a bit wider also works. At point Nakatani was in it, but only briefly.

 

Nakatani put up a good fight, he’s definitely an elite fighter.

 

After rewatching both Bivol/Beterbiev fights last week this was a bit of a let dow, way too tense and respectful in the first 6 rounds. Not sure the sytyles gelled as well as I was hoping
