Naoya Inoue vs Junto Nakatani

Fight of the year coming in Japan

Naoya Inoue vs Junto Nakatani set for May 2

 

Will it be as good a fight as hatakeyama vs sakamoto ?

 

REED's Enthusiasm for This One Has DIPPED Since "Night of the Samurai"...REED Gave Natakani a 40% Chance Prior, Now it's Down to 25%-30%...

I'm still keen on this one. Annoying as I was hoping I'd time it so I could see it in person, but I won't be in Japan until November. It's going to be huge over there.

 

Boxing: Inoue, Nakatani blockbuster set for May 2 at Tokyo Dome

Takuma Inoue vs Kazuto Ioka and Jin Sasaki vs Sora Tanaka on the undercard. Should be a good one.

 

Naoya Inoue confirms he’ll have 2 more fights at super bantamweight before moving up to his final weight class, featherweight ️

“I'll have 2 more fights in super bantamweight. The fight against Junto Nakatani, and one more match I'd like to do.

Once that's over, it's featherweight. Featherweight will be my final weight class challenge."

‼️Naoya Inoue calls out Bam Rodriguez‼️

"The featherweight chapter is the final one. I'm not raising the weight class right away."

"In super bantamweight, there's the remaining fight against Junto Nakatani and one more. If I can have that rumored match or rather, the one I'm thinking of doing."

@GarciaBoxing Let’s make this fight happen for the fans!!! Time is ticking...

⚔️


Leaving the door ajar for rodriguez. Otherwise who else at 122?

 

Inoue - Nakatani selling 55k tickets, 29M gate which is top 5 in boxing history… yet he’s not a Star because it’s “only in Japan”

 

Gate is not really important. Its all about the ppv buys or netflix bonanza

 

Ok buddy

Inoue is getting monster dollars from Japanese TV and also dazn is cutting him a check

But having the 5th highest gate in the history of the sport isnt important. Got it

Yous a FmF

 

What is the point youre trying to make. Everyone and their mother knows Inoue is big in Japan. But hes pretty much a non-entity outside of it.

But hey, youre the same idiot that was clinging on GGG merchandise record at the MSG as some proof that he was a megastar

 

Have Inoue the cars?

 

The point Im trying to make? I posted a tweet. About the upcoming fight between the 2 boxers in this thread

 

1.5 more weeks to go. Inoue looking sharp as a samurai sword.

Can’t believe it’s almost that time. This fight definitely feels under promoted but it’s most likely going to be watched by the most die hard fans of the sport. Bud is already in Japan and is most likely going to watch it live. I’m curious which other well known fighters will attend.

 

It does seem to be underpromoted, even among the hardcore. Was surprised to see a few days ago, that it was for may 9th. Tought it was for later this summer cause there is so little hype around it.

Even if i think Inoue will thrash nakatani, its still an incredible matchup that deserves more attention than it is getting

 

Its may 2nd not may 9th.

 

Fight card

• Naoya Inoue vs. Junto Nakatani - undisputed junior featherweight title
• Takuma Inoue vs. Kazuto Ioka - WBC bantamweight title
• Sora Tanaka vs. Jin Sasaki, welterweights
• Shogo Tanaka vs. Kosuke Tomioka, flyweights
• Yuito Moriwaki vs. Deok No Yun, super middleweights
• Reiya Abe vs. Toshiki Shimomachi, featherweights

 

Open scoring on inoue vs ioka

 

Takuma outboxing Ioka for the majority of the fight. Ioka just isn’t the same anymore.

 

Is it going to be open scoring for inoue nakatani ?

 

Anyone got a link for the Inoue fight? Can’t find it anywhere.

 

Damn one more fight before the main event

 

Pretty sure they put this fight in between the other two so shingo inoue could get back to the locker room and get his son prepared for the main event

 

Takei getting clocked by dekang wang

 

Inoue with an epic entrance.

 

this feel like a sparring session

 

Finally they started to make a fight out of it
