Naoya Inoue vs. David Alan Picasso | RING V - December 27, 2025

[Sendo Takeshi]

I read a lot about Reito before he made his debut. Seems like many people have a high opinion of him.

He is just 4-0 anyway. I can definitely see him getting a title in a couple of years, especially in this division.

[MightyWarrior]

Garcia looking dangerous with those sneak shots. The Japanese guy must have a good chin if he’s as good as they say, because it looks like he might need it.

[MightyWarrior]

Fantastic to hear world-class commentary. Corey really knows his stuff, a true boxing nut who knows the fighters and researches them, even Darren sounds good alongside him …and Mike …Well he’s just along for the ride

[Ruthless-RKO]

American DAZN comms are better than UK.

Well I think this is Ring’s own comms.

Glad I’m not hearing Adam Smith

[MightyWarrior]

I hear that !!

About a million times better

[gregregegg]

Whats the story with the tsutsumi guys (assume brothers).... Where did there hype come from? not stand out amatures, havent done anything yet... Is it just turki likes em?

Weird to have japanese 130ish lbers no olympic medal just instantly hyped.

I dont hate it, i really like japanese boxing (well mainly inoue....)

Reito was junior amateur world champ.

Which is decent enough. Just seems to have the hype of a guy that won an Olympic gold…

[Ruthless-RKO]

[Ruthless-RKO]

Damn!!

That round stared with a bang

[MightyWarrior]

RED ALERT

That was brutal. He certainly showed a good chin and heart to come from back from that, but it’s danger zone now.

[gregregegg]

Sickening round. Japanese lad won’t hold, wind retreate. He is lucky not to have a clinical finisher in front of him.

Can’t of recovered though, this could be a tough watch.

[MightyWarrior]

someone needs to have a word with the matchmaker of tiger here, Life and death so early in his career

[Ruthless-RKO]

I don’t really mind it. 26 years old. 9-0, been 10 rounds, and being 8 rounds a few times…

Different if you’re 21, or if you have never gone rounds, but you gotta step up eventually. Sucks for him he got rocked, if he didn’t he would have won comfortably.

[catalin714]

Also note the guy,Garcia,isnt rated top 10 at 130 or 135 but still a step up.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Yh ..
Had it not been for the KD..
Would have probably been a split draw or something.

[gilgamesh]

Just woke up for this card. Making me a cup of Coffee and getting ready to see Nakatani and Inoue in action.

[Sendo Takeshi]

Reyes is pretty good from what I've seen.
I hope there won't be an upset, so close before rhe biggest japanese fight of all time..

I had 95-93 - Garcia nicking it with the KD

Missed two pretty fun fights. But times getting up for the ones that matter to perfection.

You'd think there may be some ODLH vs Sturm/ Smith vs Ryder type scoring...

Yeah, I think it turned out great for him, but the matchmaker must’ve been sweating bullets because it almost looked a miracle from him to come back from that heavy knockdown, early in the round as it was. Plus he was too inexperienced to know to hang on

Was a complete accident too. I meant to wake up for the earlier ones, but fell asleep again

I will catch the stuff I missed later on today.

[gregregegg]

Weirdly quiet atmosphere.

Very very dominant round. I hope the Mexican is just looking to wait a round and will actualy throw a punch at some point…

[gregregegg]

After he lands the back hand Nakatani whips his glove on the back of his shorts. Easier said than done but if I was a future opponent I’d look to do nothing with that. I think he is always to far out when doing it but I dunno it’s an odd tick.

[gilgamesh]

Nakatani looking fantastic here.
