If Inoue is not careful when he fights Nakatani...

Nakatani is a real threat even bigger than the guys at 126 not named Espinoza.

 

All the more reason why Inoue vs Nakatani would be huge and exciting, especially for Japanese boxing. Nakatani is a serious threat for the more vulnerable Inoue and if he hurts Inoue bad the chances of Inoue being possibly stopped is high considering Nakatani's great finishing skills. Inoue needs to tighten up that defense, fight more patient, and not be too over eager early on. This is as great of a match up as you can get.

 

Some mouthwatering fights can be made between guys from 115-122 in the next couple years. Fights that would sell big. I hope these guys take advantage of the opportunity.

 

Yeah Nakatani is definitely a threat, I think this could very well be Inoue's toughest opponent so far. Terrific match up between two great, prime fighters isn't something that happens all that often.

 

Nakatani is a destroyer just like Inoue, I don't think he has the sort of reflexive counter-punching that will cause Inoue problems. Add to that he will be coming up from the smaller weights, so I don't think he will be as able to take Inoue's shots as Cardenas was. Whilst I rate and like Nakatani I think Inoue will have an easier time with him than he did Cardenas.
