Naoya Inoue vs. Junto Nakatani | DAZN - May 2, 2026

[Sendo Takeshi]

Can't believe it's here. Biggest fight in boxing today.
Why is Takei fighting before a guy who is 1-0-1 though? He was an undefeated champ until his last fight.

Now Takei is the co-main to Inoue? Nuts

They can't pronounce one name right. What a joke.

Takuma Inoue defeats Kazuto Ioka by decision

[Sendo Takeshi]

Takei is too damn hittable. He is probaly gonna win, but you can't continue fighting like this.

Takei is too damn hittable. He is probaly gonna win, but you can't continue fighting like this.

His stamina is terrible too. Only an 8 rounder, and he was blowing in the final few rounds. Not good.

[Sendo Takeshi]

Not much happaned round 1. Inoue edged it though.

[Sendo Takeshi]

2-0 Inoue. Still no big shots landed, though.

[Sendo Takeshi]

I guess it's 3-0 Inoue, but the rounds are very close, because not much is landing clean.

[Sendo Takeshi]

Could be 4-0, but again, very close.

[JxhDel.]

30 - 27 Inoue.

So far the Champ brothers have been dominating with their strong basics. Naoya dodged some bullets in the 4th.

[Sendo Takeshi]

Not sure who won this round. Could go to either one, I guess.
Let's say 4-0-1.

[Sendo Takeshi]

Could be Nakatani in the 6th, but still very close.

[JxhDel.]

59 - 54 Inoue.

[Sendo Takeshi]

Another close round, both landed same nice shots, but I'm gonna go with Inoue again.
7-0-1

[Sendo Takeshi]

Another close round, both had some success, but could be Inoues again.
Nakatani is not gonna win a decision, he has to risk it now.

[Sendo Takeshi]

Very close again, but I guess Nakatani won this one.
I don't even bother with the Score anymore.

[JxhDel.]

97 - 94 Inoue. Junto has been rallying back in the last 2 rounds.

[Sendo Takeshi]

First clear round. Nakatani landed some big shots, he definitely won this one.
Sadly, clash of heads. Doesn't seem that bad though.

[Sendo Takeshi]

Secound clear round of this fight, this time for Inoue.
Sadly, it seems like the blood from the cut is bothering Nakatani.
He definitely needs a knockout now.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Naoya Inoue threw a fight-high 53 power punches and landed fight high 21 on Junto Nakatani in the round 11, according to CompuBox.

[Sendo Takeshi]

Very close and competetive fight, but clear Inoue win.
Probaly around 116-112 or 117-111.

[amwsnw]

I have 116-112 Inoue

[JxhDel.]

116 - 112 Inoue, competitive bout, if there will not be a rematch, Junto is surely poised to follow Naoya as Japan's number one in the coming years.

[Sendo Takeshi]

Time for bam. If not, he has to go up. Nothing more to do at this weight.
