What is Junto’s plan.

He didn’t have the best debut at the weight and thought he’d rather get straight in there with Inoue.

5-0 to 3- 2 if you like Junto's style.

I have it 3-2 or 4-1 to Inoue after 5. They're starting to looked less nervous and more open defensively.

Nakatani doing more, and all of a sudden it's a harder round to score.

He's got himself a hole to dig himself out of now though, and the more he opens up he'll have to deal with Inoue's power.

Good round for Nakatani in the 6th. He's starting to get through with that left more and more

5-1 Inoue

6th was a tough round to call, probably marginally in favour of Inoue. If a judge is giving close rounds to Inoue, Nakatani is a round away from needing a KO on that judge's scorecard.

Fortunately for Inoue, this southpaw Nakatani is no Pac man.

Nakatani started off the 7th well, but Inoue took the round from him as it went on.

6-1 Inoue

Most exciting round of the fight so far there in the 8th. Hopefully that momentum continues to build.

6-2 Inoue

Great!

My Japan stream ended.

I’m stuck with Adam Smith now.

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

Another clear round for Nakantani. Doesn’t look like Inoue can do much to stop this momentum.

Huge round for Nakatani in the 10th. Inoue started to look fatigued. Can he get a 2nd wind or will Nakatani continue this momentum?

6-4 Inoue

Inoue suddenly looking tired, and a little shopworn.
Nakatani should put his foot on the accelerator and fight at a high a pace as he possibly can to finish this.

Even if Nakatani wins the last few, Inoue still may have done enough to have it on the cards.
