INOUE VS NAKATANI IN 2025?

[@songmoua9389]

Nakatani is the only boxer and the only reason Inoue stays at 122. Forget Mexican, forget Aussi, forget Filipino, forget British, and forget American. Samurai vs. Samurai. This is the best fight from 105 to 130. P4P vs. P4P. Best vs. Best. No bullshit fight. No your side or my side of the street. No social media pre fight. Just fight. One must lose.

[@muz4050]

I don't see why Inoue has to fight in the states again. He already won a tournament over there and also fought in Britain too. America needs to change it's mindset on the lower weights first because they don't get the recognition & respect they deserve. That fight needs to happen at home in Japan

[@Horizon0505iije]

Both have incredibly entertaining styles, but Junto opens up too much sometimes. Definitely a must watch fight if it happens

[@user-xg5re2kt7m]

Bam has no ball to face either of them. Inoue and junto stops him easily. Bam bum wants only washed old smaller men. Not prime skilled big punchers like Inoue junto

[@Fadeddreams5]

Financially, it makes more sense for Nakatani to face Inoue. If he loses, he can simply move back down, unify, and eventually fight Bam.

Is it just me but is to early for Nakatani to fight inoue I think he should unify or become undisputed at 118 like inoue did to build up the fight and not make it feel rushed because people will make excuses if nakatani loses like he wasnt ready or he hasnt been tested

[@take1task]

I doubt that Junto is a Japanese Fighter. He came to the U.S. by himself at the age of 15 and has been training at Rudy Hernandez's gym ever since. For boxing fans, a tall southpaw with a jab from a distance and a counter when given the chance comes to mind, but not Junto. Junto is different. He is a fighter who is willing to get up close and personal, and he uses his front foot to strike his opponents. In his most recent interview, he said that he loves close combat. To return to the fight style, Junto is a typical American-Mexican fighter who will get stronger as he moves up the ranks.

[@use-18630]

Junto mostly training with Japanese trainers in Japan. He ain’t like Mexican American at all. He never cheat. He never overweight a lot. He never use steroid. He never cherry-pick

[@mcsuckalives2302]

Bringing them to the American pop is gonna be hard over here. The PPV potential is where we need to see them.

[@jordank2028]

I'd rather see Bam vs Nakatani first. But I still see Inoue smashing Nakatani if they fight anytime soon.

[@FightsMicsNMedia]

This would be a good Fight. I got Inoue winning this though.

[@kt-gx2sm]

Nakatani, in pursuit of his dream to become a boxing champion, chose not to attend high school and instead set out to train in the United States. As a child, he had been reclusive, spending most of his time playing video games. However, his passion for boxing was ignited by his mentor and benefactor, former boxer Ishii, whose encouragement inspired him to pursue the sport. Tragically, after Nakatani went to the U.S., Ishii passed away in an accident. In America, Rudy Hernandez became his new mentor, rigorously training him and shaping his skills. Nakatani’s strength comes from a unique background that sets him apart from typical Japanese boxers; he possesses a resilient spirit and a commitment to diligently mastering Hernandez’s techniques. For some time, he has openly expressed his desire to fight Naoya Inoue.

[@greendirtt]

This is like putting fundora up against canelo. Guess who going to sleep?

[@riz5751]

It’s nothing like that. It’d be more like Alimkhanuly fighting Canelo but Junto is better than Alimkhanuly and Inoue is better than Canelo

[@YSaechao916]

Let’s call a spade a spade. When Pauline said “western” fighters, what he really meant is black American fighters. Porter giggled and smirked because he knows it too. Mexican fighters don’t have that problem of not making big fights happen. Latino American fighters also don’t have a problem with making big fights happen. Ryan Garcia took on Tank with a rehydration clause while he was still undefeated. Teofimo was young and took on a prime Lomachenko when he was still undefeated as well. Only modern black American fighters are scared to death of losing that “0.” The biggest Divas in boxing with the least action compared to other races. I grew up idolizing Mike Tyson so I am not being biased here. It all started with Floyd, before that black American fighters had heart and fought everyone in front of them. Just calling a spade a spade

[@Jovy_Oh]

Respectfully, Even if what you were saying were true, arguably the biggest duck in boxing right now is a Mexican. Canelo. If its about making the big fights happen that people really wanna see... people wanna see Canelo vs Benavidez, Canelo vs Bivol at 168, and Canelo vs Crawford. So whats stopping him? He already lost his 0. Am i missing something...or do you have someone in mind specifically when you say "black fighters scared to lose their 0"?

[@YSaechao916]

@@Jovy_Oh Canelo has paid his dues and fought many tough fights already. He is a cash cow and he knows it. Any fighter he chooses to share the ring with will have the biggest payday of their careers. It’s about staying active and giving other fighters an opportunity for him right now and not really legacy anymore. I do agree he should be fighting David Benavidez but that’s ultimately up to him. I have no care in the world for Canelo vs Crawfish as the latter isn’t even fighting anyone else at 154, let alone 160 and 168. He just wants a Canelo sweepstakes even if that means getting knocked out cold. And he just blatantly ducked Fundora. If Tszyu can get through his next fight and look good while doing it, I will be in shock if Crawfish decides to fight him. History tells me crawfish won’t but we’ll see. He’s literally just sitting back watching guys beat each other up and waiting for the right moment to take a fight, whether that be once a year or once every 2 years lol. Nothing close to my definition of a p4p #1 fighter

Back in the day, Japanese boxing was boring because of a flashy but weak boxer like Kameda. By the way, Inoue really hates Kameda. The Kameda brothers were good at trash-talking their opponents, but they never fought strong ones. They were just really good at finding weak opponents to face. But everything changed when Inoue showed up. His humble personality, his approach to boxing, and, of course, his undeniable strength brought back the shine to Japanese boxing, which was starting to rot. Anyway, everyone in Japan is really looking forward to Inoue vs. Nakatani-it’s going to be an amazing fight!

[@novrinkov0053]

Hey Casual, don't talk about the whole of Japanese boxing based on Kameda alone. Japan is the third country in history to have produced the most world champions, with over 100. There is even a Hall of Fame athlete named Fighting Harada. You may be Japanese, but you don't know Japanese boxing.

[@novrinkov0053]

The eldest and second sons of the Kameda brothers are just two of over 100 Japanese champions. Even the third son is a decent champ. The Japanese champs are not famous because they are in lighter weight classes, but the other Japanese champs are very good and decent. You don't know anything about boxing
