⁠@@mjolninja9358ggg style is definitely more “mexican” after trainjng with abel sanchez lol. His soviet esque style left him cus he needed an advertiser friendly style for pro boxing. Him and Canelo are very similar in terms of style, like FREAKISHLY similar, I think it’s fate that they ended up fighting cus having two guys with such similar careers in some aspects and styles is just insane.

[@gavingreenhorn]

Just the fact that Inoue's biggest challenge yet is hailing from his own country shows how far Japan came in this sport.

[@YouAintGotNoTegridyBoi]

Japan has had 89 world champions throughout history, being the fourth most prolific country ever in boxing. It's not too surprising that they're producing such a volume of top talent given their track record. It's great to see anyway since they box like no others and consistently have some of the best fights in boxing.

​@@BoxingLifeyesss Sir😂 let us hoping BAM as UNDISPUTED vs JUNTO as UNDISPUTED at CATCHWEIGHT👹

[@shunappa]

Bam is building his own resume “legacy”. I don’t see the fight happening. It’s a different mindset from western fighters and more importantly promotion. Japan they face strong opponents regardless. Economically not wise decision, also longevity wise. But for boxing fans, it’s treasure. Many great Japanese fighters retired early after first loss unless there is a several fights more singed with promoter in advanced. I am ok with both approach but just different culture and mindset.

[@magiko7176]

Him against the Monster Inoue is definitely an intriguing fight. Basically Japan's version of Spence vs Crawford, but the fight itself would be more similar to Bivol vs Beterbiev. Essentially, Junto could outbox Inoue for many rounds, but Inoue's power and pressure would make him be on the defensive for more rounds and wear him out throughout the fight. As a result, Inoue wins on points. That's how I see the fight playing out.

[@Boosiefade123]

Inoue power is not that overwhelming, I think Inoue is more powerful but Junto is not far from him, his speed can definitely overwhelm him

[@zatoichimasseur6767]

No its not; spence was a walking shadow of himself.

[@D2BII]

Lol I think Inoue wins, but I disagree with your reasoning.... Inoue hits incredibly hard but he's very much a masterful boxer--and it's even more apparent than when looking at someone like Beterbiev (who quite honestly has always had somewhat underrated boxing IQ, simply because he's known as a devastating puncher). When Inoue is switched on, his attacks are extremely precise and his defense and feet are on point. Junto, as good as he is, I don't think that he's generally as sharp as Inoue has shown he can be.

[@PartyCrasher04]

@@Boosiefade123Inoue hits hard, but his power is overrated imo, he’s just really scarily good at setting up knockout punches. They don’t see it coming and get KO’d

I think this is a perfect opportunity for future videos about legendary Japanese boxers of the past like Fighting Harada who in my opinion has the boxing style that resembles Harry Greb the most.

[@lncarpenter3]

Junto heaves a lot of his left hands and tosses a high amount of throw aways to load right hand power punches. Is he a natural right hander who an early trainer morphed into a southpaw?

[@SuperKendoman]

That's what I thought as well. Similar to what coaches in Thailand do when the student says that they want to become a professional straight away. Start then off as southpaws that will have more experience against leftis

[@om8973]

@@lncarpenter3 that's right. Kozo Ishii, who first coached him, converted him to southpaw. Kouzo Ishii passed away in an accident, but Junto Nakatani is fighting to carry on his will.

A fighter like this you give him difrent angle and footwork with straight punches just like he does but he's somewhat flat footed so he will have problems with movers.

Inoue at his best is sharper than nakatani from what i have seen I would have to favor Inoue in that bout as well

[@inhhuytran5055]

His style relly reminds me of Alexis Arguello!

[@BoxingLife]

@@inhhuytran5055 in terms of how he throws his left cross. But I think he has a much wider stance than Arguello did.

[@inhhuytran5055]

@ Definitely! But the way he throws his jab to hook, straight punches, and uppercut to the body, is just so reminiscent of Arguello!

[@jamesbaclig8789]

He reminds me of MLB pitcher, Yu Darvish. As you said, Junto throws many punches from the hip, which keeps his opponents guessing. The way his uppercuts AND his overhead shots start from the same point is wild. Yu Darvishs’ pitches all come from the same delivery/arm angle. Keeps the batters guessing. Great breakdown, thanks.

[@LeadLeftLeon]

Maybe he can be Naoya’s 50/50 fight, and they trilogy.

[@Mischa18]

[@ChuckNorrizzed]

How would you describe the Japanese style of boxing?

[@YouAintGotNoTegridyBoi]

Very much a highly technical style like the Soviet one but also can be very attritional like the Mexicans. They're a league of their own in Japan and I personally think they have the most entertaining style in boxing. So many times I tune into Japanese fight cards with many of the best fights of the year.

[@shunappa]

Technical, discipline, in-fight, mental strength. But the rare thing about Nakatani is, it is very rare for a southpaw tall fighter to engage inside game so much. His defense, head position in in-fight game is what separates him from the rest in his division i think.

[@take1task]

Junto calls himself a kamikaze fighter, but in reality, it is his opponents who have no choice but to kamikaze-attack him, and he is like a naval destroyer that uses its CIWS (Phalanx) to fire anti-aircraft fire. In addition, Junto has even implemented Tomahawk missiles for long-range attacks, making players of lesser height and reach than Junto feel that they have virtually no chance of winning.

[@diyfreediver]

WTF is up with that referee’s shove at 0:52 when Junto was clearly heading for the corner? Is he biased towards the other fighter?

[@user-xg5re2kt7m]

Bam been ducking Junto. This fight will never happen. Bam moved up to 115 to duck junto at 112. Junto chased him and moved up to 115,then Bam moved DOWN to duck him. Junto wasted time and finally decided to move up to 118 then bam moved back to 115 right after that. Bam won’t move up to 118 till junto leave and moves up to 122. Junto even started lower weight than “BUM” Rodriguez

Juno need to fight and dominate the Monster ex opponent first. If not, Juno got no chance with the Monster.
