Naoya Inoue vs Alan Picasso / Junto Nakatani vs Sebastián Hernández

Looked to me that they were making an issue out of nothing just to try and hinder Inoue’s performance. If he was really trying to cheat it would have been obvious. Fighters are always examined to having their hands wrapped in every fights. I think it’s odd that Inoue is now getting criticized for going the distance with MJ and Picasso.

 

Her certaintly showed power against Fulton.

 

Seems like Inoue is a lot better than Nakatani. Faster hands. Much better feet.

To me, Inoue vs. S. Hernandez is the more compelling fight.

 

What about nakatani vs Jesse Rodriguez?

 

Hernandez is a Former Inoue Sparring Partner...Team Nakatani Specifically Chose Hernandez On This Basis and it Basically Backfired...



REED

 

Agreed

Nakatani is super average. Yeah hes tall for the weight, but hes slow and super clumsy. That some were claiming he was/is a p4p talent only shows how much some of these obscure faraway midgets gets overrated by the "elitists". Inoue and Bam would destroy him imo

 

You felt Hernandez won, right?

 

Great matchup and not a lock for either guy, imo. One reason Hernandez was able to win is he absorbed some massive shots without getting hurt. Rodriguez is better than Hernandez, yeah. But is he as durable? Kind of doubt it.

 

Not that you asked the question to me , but while it wasnt the worst robbery ever, it was petty much obvious that Hernandez won that fight

 

Nakatani Certainly Didn't "Win", Put it That Way....REED Felt a DRAW Was the Fairest Verdict to Both Fighters...




REED

 

Inoue has no respect for Picasso after the fight and it’s likely due to the hand wrap “drama”.

 

See I don't even think a case could be made for a draw.

 

REED Didn't Score it, But Vaguely Recalls Nakatani Winning 4 of the 1st 5 Rounds...Even Though He Lost the Majority of the Latter Rounds, it's Not as if Nakatani Lost EVERY Single Remaining Round...

Nakatani for Sure Didn't WIN, But Hernandez Wasn't Robbed Either, in REED's Opinion...



REED

 

Rudy Hernandez a funny fella

 

finally watched nakatani vs hernandez.

hernandez didnt piss dirty but he looked the part of a juiced fighter. dude fought like superman walking through monster bombs all night and punching nonstop. either nakatani all of a sudden cant punch for shit 4 lbs above his last weight or hernandez is on some salido supplements

nakatani still gutted it out and did enough to win

 

Are Your Inoue-Nakatani Thoughts ALTERED In Any Way After Nakatani-Hernandez???...



REED

 

Not really. Id still pick inoue but I doubt it's an easy fight

Inoue is quicker and more skilled and he'll use those abilities accordingly.

He may have caught on to some openings nakatani has but it's not like hes gonna put on non stop pressure as hernandez did

It's also very unlikely he has the type of durability to even attempt it
