You know you’re immature when you find one of those surnames funny…
If Wang ever develops into a knockout puncher it'd be fun to use the old expression "knocked his dick in the dirt" when referring to his wins. Wang knocks their dick in the dirt :lol:

Come to think of it I don't know if that's even an old expression to anyone except a few nutcases I know, but it suits him :lol:

I do enjoy the way Japanese commentary sounds when they get excited.

Can you not change the commentary? They should give you an option on the Dazn app.

It certainly isn't unthinkable. Junto Nakatani is a Southpaw, He's taller, He's younger. He's undefeated in his own right. There's a lot of reasons why he COULD win. Inoue has to prove again if who he's been is who he is now, and this is probably going to be his stiffest challenge yet.

No I’m on the firestick - If that’s an option, I’ll get the bloody thing for the upcoming fights in May. I don’t want this twat spoiling every one of them

I had forgot about the fact that Inoue couldn't wrap his hands the way he wanted to in his last bout, and tonight he can. Uh oh.

Yh I realised this yesterday.

Whenever he fights outside of Japan, he doesn’t get may stoppages.

Same applies to Nakatani I guess.

But advantage Inoue?

Seems to be advantage Inoue given the power advantage but if Nakatani can keep landing then it will add up. I'd like to see what would happen in a heavyweight fight in Japan with those wraps...

Definitely increases the likelihood for a KO either way I'd say. Advantage to whoever can land more punches.
