Wow, I recognised the hairstyle, he’s still full of confidence and very popular by the looks of it

Tsutsumi got robbed of a win twice now, too bad.
Still gutsy performance by both fighters.
Tsutsumi absolutely won this fight.

That was a disgraceful decision. Moloney will likely need a knockout to win too

Let's not act like it was that bad of a decision.
Japan is not known for their robberys, unlike other countries.

Nasukawa is doing a little bit better in a close fight.

I had to Google that site. Spontaneously looked up Adames and Sheeraz as a reference, and after seeing that garbage score, I can’t take it seriously to be honest:

"Bad Left Hook unofficially scored the fight 115-113 and 116-112 for Sheeraz, whose first crack at a world title did not result in any gold, but also didn’t come with a first professional defeat."

Young David Cuellar gets a shock welcome to world championship boxing with a 3rd round blast out. He wasn’t expecting that power from the Japanese warrior

It should be pretty easy for them to make two unifications next. That way, there could be an undisputed champ in 2025.

The Tsutsumi/Higa rematch was another cracker, never scored it but it looked like Tsutsumi done enough, looked a cert to get stopped after the head clash cut his eye bad in the 3rd, it bled the rest of the fight but he never let it bother him too much, mad 9th round, Higa dropping him with a peach of a left hook then Tsutsumi knocking Higa down with a right, he hurt Higa in the 11th as well, it was closely contested but surprised at the draw

Demolition in the 3rd from Nakatani, Cuellar landed a few meaty shots himself but excellent variation and accuracy for the first knockdown, sunk a wicked shot to the pit of the stomach along with clean left hands upstairs, Cuellar was hurt and Nakatani walks up and rattles him with 2 huge lefts, Cuellar was on the way down when the second one landed, Nakatani needs to unify, no reason why him and Tsutsumi shouldn't fight next
