Junto Nakatani vs. Tasana Salapat & Jonathan Gonzalez vs. Anthony Oluscuaga RBR.

Immediate rematch. There's no way Tanaka lost that despite the knockdown. He won way more clear rounds than Cafu.

 

If a judge gave 115-112 then it would've been incompetence, but fortunately all 114-113 split is fair.

 

I've watched almost all of Tanaka's fights, been following his career since the Hara fight. And somehow despite everything he has learned and experienced in his career. His head movement still ****ing sucks. If someone like Cafu, who is obviously very talented, but not someone who had the experience at the world stage could knock him down and knock his head around. Just imagine what Rodriguez, Martinez and even Gonzalez would have done to him.

Nasukawa fight next. I have some work to do. Will skip it since I don't care much Nasukawa, honestly it is rather demining to have him as the co-main before Tanaka and Olascuaga. Will tune in for the main event!

Nakatani vs Freshmart will probably start in a hour for those who also don't want to watch Nasukawa.

 

Not sure I'd say way more, but I thought Tanaka won 7 rounds so yeah.

Close enough for rematch on Teiken's next major Japan card? Cafu probably would get more money on a rematch too cuz he probably won't be getting the winner of Martinez-Ioka rematch any time soon but Bam would eat him alive.

 

Cafu won a lot of clear rounds early and had very strong cases for winning two rounds out of the last six. That's all he needed on my card.

Was a great fight and a rematch would be awesome, but Cafu definitely deserved that win.

 

Tanaka is certainly very talented enough to become a multi-division champion but he has his share of strengths and flaws. He's good but in the tier below the likes of Ioka/Teraji level top 20 P4P caliber not to mention Inoue/Nakatani.

 

Dont know anything about this Asilo kid but goodluck to him

 

Tenshin Nasukawa vs Gerwin Asilo 10x3 for the vacant WBO Asia Pacific Bantamweight Title

 

I don't know how much Cafu's been earning so far in his career but I have a feeling Teiken can entice a good enough offer and Cafu probably feels confident enough to accept it during next spring card.

Not like he has that many other money options available at 115 outside Japan anyway with. I feel like Bam would go straight to the winner of Martinez-Ioka rematch next instead of Cafu.

 

Rd 1 - Nasukawa

Nasukawa sharper but Asilo is game and getting in counters here and there

 

My scorecard

1: Nasukawa 10 - 9 Asilo

 

I think just lasting the distance and even winning one round will be essentially a moral victory for Asilo. Not a huge fan of Nasukawa but he wasn't a kickboxing P4P for nothing and he's certainly been improving a lot.

 

My scorecard

1: Nasukawa 10 - 9 Asilo
2: Nasukawa 10 - 9 Asilo

 

Rd 1 - Nasukawa
Rd 2 - Asilo

Asilo started strong but Nasukawa starting to time him but not enough to take the round. Commentary dickriding Nasukawa too much
