5/2/2026 DAZN: Naoya Monster Inoue vs Junto Nakatani (Undisputed Super Bantamweight Championship)

[prince_peoples]

I’m sure the cards will have it wider than it should be but if Nakatani wins this last round he should win the fight

Your tripping.

Once he lost round 11 it was clear he needed a knock out.

Nakatani did nothing the first 5 rounds

 

[Deafheaven]

im sure bam will really want to fight him

Bam gets knocked out.

this is the most contained I've seen Monster in a while and Bam can't replicate this fight as he smaller than Inoue already

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

What ? Lol I only have 4 rounds for junto

I had him winning 5 going into the last round, there were at least 2 rounds that’s nothing really happened that could’ve went either way

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

Monster is the the champ it has to be clearer than this for judges to give Nakatani the W

I don't think Nakatani took into account he had to make it obvious since he's the challenger, he's supposed to be pressing monster from the jump

I agree he had to step on the gas earlier, but Nakatani did next to nothing early besides come forward. But you’re right, as the champ he’s going to get those rounds by default

Bam gets knocked out.

Yeah bam is too small, it’s not a good fight for him at all

So far Junto has been only competitive fight since Nonito Donair 1? There's a world where he could've of pulled it off, I think he could in a rematch

 

[Deafheaven]

jreh looking up at the clock made me sad my manlet goat getting old

I selfishly don't want to see dude at 126. Them dudes too fukking big for him.

Yea you tripping first 5 rounds nakatani didn't throw a significant punch. Even if we was to give him round 5 he didnt win 7 anywhere. He lost 11 and 12 which he conceded

 

[Thatrogueassdiaz]

My body woke me up at 6 and it was only round 3 so I was able to watch most of the fight after all. I thought Inoue dominated most of the fight. Nakatani landed some nice shots esp in the 10th but overall Inoue won convincingly.

I could see them fighting again but I think he should go ahead and move up to 126.

 

[Deafheaven]

Yeah bam is too small, it’s not a good fight for him at all

I mean it would be a good fight for him monetary wise, and if he gets beat who cares dare to be great and all that.

but yeah I don't see an avenue for victory besides a punchers chance

 

[Derek Lee]

Inoue showed his championship mettle in the 11th round after it looked like Nakatani started surging in the second half of the fight. We need a rematch. Great fight

if there was a time for him to go up it should be now though

 

[Vaselclean]

Rematch will be fireworks. One of them will get stopped

 

[Deafheaven]

if there was a time for him to go up it should be now though

aint it some nikka who 6'0 at that weight

stay away from him. go get a belt off of one of the more normal sized dudes, do some dumb super fight with bam or rematch Junto. ride off into the sunset. I'mma be sick if my guy RJJ himself

 

[<<TheStandard>>]

Inoue's quickness and reflexes are just incredible. His ability to jump in and out of range even against a bigger and longer fighter is special. Absolutely a joy to watch.

Nakatani took way too long to get going unfortunately. Wish we could have seen more like rounds 9-12
