Prediction: Junto Nakatani by Stoppage
Result: Junto Nakatani by Stoppage
Nakatani obviously was a level above the Thai man today but he had a chin and tried to win to his credit. Nakatani truly is elite and is offence is just a joy to watch. I think, while his defence is good, it can be a bit leaky at times and I think it’s what will cost him against Inoue but that fight would be so fun. Maybe he can get a unification in next year before that mega fight sometime after.
