    Dude looks bigger than Devin Haney, he’s gotta be rehydrating 15+ pounds minimum. I think he’s a decent fighter but until he fights dudes his size idk how convinced I am of him. Could he dominate those 126 guys like he is doing at 118? I don’t see him beating any of those guys and I think it’s arguable he’s bigger than all of them besides Espinoza.

    126 is probably his ceiling, hopefully he meets Inoue there

    Would be a good fight but I doubt nakatani sticks around at 118 long enough

    I think the only time to make that was the brief time (less than 6 months I think) they spent together at 115/112 because I doubt Jesse is making 118 anytime soon

    Junto debuted at minimumweight and spent a couple fights at light-flyweight. There is absolutely no way he walks around in the mid 130s. He's just a tall, gangly dude who's really skinny and has a small frame. It's really not that deep. The American tradition of massive weight draining in order to rehydrate multiple weight classes above where you fight at hasn't caught on in Japan, where they still cut healthy amounts of weight afaik.

    Precisely this.
    He is just a skinny guy and he actually has a fair bit of muscle on him. Now compare him to Erik Morales who looked like he never lifted a single weight in his life.
    I doubt Nakatani moves from 118 any time soon.
