Nakatani really came out swinging right at the start. Threw everything but the kitchen sink and just bartered poor Nishida. Very dangerous fighter is Nakatani and he’ll definitely be a threat to Inoue should they fight in the future.
1st Round was More Exciting than ANY of the Rounds were Projected to Be...What was Expected to Be "Tactical" Turned Out to Be a Pretty Decent, Yet Ultimately One Sided Action Fight... Nishida was Game Yet SEVERELY Outgunned...The Right Side of His Face Eventually Swelled Up Like a Balloon...The Other 2 Bantamweight Titlists Sitting Ringside COULDN'T Be Terribly High on Their Chances of Actually BEATING Nakatani Either...Cashout Your Titles and Move the Fuck On., No One Under '26 is Beating Junto Nakatani... He's a VERY Real Threat to Inoue, as You Stated... REED
Yep, Tenshin was the Co-Main...This was REED's 3rd/4th Time Seeing Him in Action, Including the Floyd Debacle... Tenshin's Best Performance Yet, in REED's Opinion...He'll for SURE Be in the Bantamweight Mix Once Nakatani Moves Up... REED
Me being in Japan, I've seen all his fights including his kickboxing ones. I was just curious if they were showcasing him in America. The Floyd fight should mostly be discounted as Tenshin wasn't a boxer yet and switched from kickboxing to strictly boxing a few fights after that. I thought this was an alright showing from him. He seemed like he might have gone a little lazy in training camp as his defense and stamina wasn't as up to snuff as usual especially for such a slow punching opponent. Tendhin's biggest issue is he seems to have the punching power of a high schooler.
