Amazon Prime: Junto Nakatani vs. Vincent Diazen Astrolabio & Riku Kano vs. Anthony Olascuaga RBR

Very hasty eitherway. They’ve been matching him pretty tough but not tough enough to be ranked after 3 fights. His kickboxing pedigree and popularity must be influencing his ranking heavily

 

Him versus Takei would be an interesting clash of ex-kickboxers turned boxers. But haven't all of Nasukawa's fights been at super bantam? Seems to me that Inoue vs Nasukawa would be a huge fight in Japan, wouldn't be surprised that fight happen sometime next year.

 

The ABC´s do give leeway when it comes to rankings and weight. One could compete at 162 their entire career and still be ranked at 160.
It´s funny and nonsensical when they do it at lower weights as the divisions are just a few lbs apart from each other.

I wouldn´t mind if they ranked Tenshin at 118, IF HE ACTUALLY HAD BEATEN ANYONE OF NOTE!

 

Never has a hairdo made me want to see someone KO'd this much

 

Yeah but that was one fight compared to being put on the undercards of Japanese boxing royalty on the regular. The net gain if he gets his boxing career off the ground will, I presume, be more than the net gain of his kickboxing career regardless of how popular he was there because there's just more money in boxing. I still can't wrap my head around choosing to be an okay-ish boxer over a possible ATG kickboxer though. Maybe he'll improve tremendously and prove me wrong though.

 

R1 10-9 Nasukawa
