This should be interesting while it lasts. Nakatani has been impressive so far and I expect this for him to get the job done. Would like to see Nakatani against Bam, Chocolatito, or Martinez at some point in the future.
tenshin nasukawa with the emphatic knock out. adding to the mayweather jr legacy. he just commandeered the mic from the interviewer like he's a pro wrassler.

And that’s all she wrote. One punch body shot KO in the first round for Nakatani. This guy is dangerous in the small weight division. Nakatani is a great talent and I can see him remaining dominant for awhile. Him against Naoya Inoue in the future would be a huge fight for Japan.
This is the second time a former Filipino champ got knocked out by a body shot, and in Japan as well. Philippines not doing so hot in boxing right now. There’s only one Filipino world champion and it’s in the smallest weight class.
Filipinos just don’t seem to like it in the body. Also just last weekend a Filipino fighter Pedro Taduran had just dethroned a Japanese world champion Ginjiro Shigeoka in Japan. Philippines now has two world champs currently.
