Junto Nakatani vs. Petch Sor Chitpattana | Sky Sports - 14 October 2024

[keithmoonhangover]

Top Rank are obsessed with Nico Ali Walsh, they're determined to make him a box office star , nobody else cares

He's definitely better at talking, than fighting.

Aye he's no bad

Gutted, I'm at work today and doing the jobs of three people, so I can't close the office door and watch the fights. I really like these little Japanese fellas.

asilo has a tricky rhythm to time, tenshin looks a bigger harder hitting guy but unable to get through with much of note so far. he did land a good body shot last round though

Thanks for the update and thanks in advance for the next one.

[margaret thatcher]

tenshin going to the body more this round, gets in some good shots. asilo a bit uncomfortable with them and also complains a bit that one was low. body work could be what tenshin needs to separate himself here

[margaret thatcher]

good back and forth, alternating between caginess and trading shots. tenshin in last 20 seconds corners asilo and does better late in the round

[Ruthless-RKO]

Results

Phumelele Cafu SD-12 Kosei Tanaka (113-114, 114-113, 114-113)
Anthony Olascuaga NC-1 Jonathan Gonzalez (2:25)

asilo still tough for tenshin to figure out, regardless of the result would like to see him again vs hot prospects or contenders even

Are you scoring it?

[skanksta]

Tenshin levelling out a bit ?

I mean he's winning handily, but he looks pretty crap when the oppo moves and boxes.
7-1 thru 8.

[margaret thatcher]

kd just called on asilo but looked more like he was off balance, maybe got their feet tangled

not been scoring it tbh, tenshin should be ahead but not really won many clear decisive rounds. he did look to really be coming on last round though, even aside from the kd he put it on asilo near the end. asilo looks a bit faded suddenly

[margaret thatcher]

fight goes the distance, tenshin cut by headbutt last round. he takes it to asilo in the last minute

tenshin is talented but defo could use some development of ring smarts. looked confused at times and not sure how to approach this guy. could also use more of a jab to set up his work and to keep him active while he's waiting to pick bigger shots.

good learning fight, the filipino really knows his way around there and was tough

[margaret thatcher]

97-92
98-91x2

tenshin ud.....not really a impressive performance (though late on he did show some nice flashes), but one that could help him develop

[skanksta]

Yeah, "good learning fight".

Kickboxers generally DO struggle with movers. The oppo was preetty good - he always had enough movement and jeopardy coming back to keep Naka from landing. Naka needs to fight a Vincent Feigenbutz type to look really good..

Is Tenshin the guy that Mayweather stopped in an exhibition and made cry? Didn’t he give away like 30lbs?

[Sammy Scaff]

Main event under way.
Thai guy looks brave but Junto just waiting his moment to strike

[Sammy Scaff]

Going toe to toe in the 5th.
Thai Guy still toughing it out but surely Nakatani will nail him before too long.

[Sammy Scaff]

Yep, wicked shots finished it in 6th.

Credit to both boxers

[handsofstone]

That was pretty abrupt, Nakatani kept things simple first 4 rounds, worked behind the southpaw 1/2 but round 5 it developed into a bit of a tear up and Chitpattana had success, both were landing, Nakatani was doubling up right hooks, some great exchanges, round 6 Nakatani dropped Chitpattana with a couple of big lefts, I didn't think he was getting up but he did and went right back to trading, Nakatani poleaxed him with a huge left though and that was that

Thanks. He’s a star in Japan in kick-boxing right?

yh.. was very young at the time he fought FMM too

[goose 5]

Terrific card but Tanaka was robbed imo; 8-4 Tanaka if not 9-3.
