About the match
The fight every casual fan finally cares about. Naoya Inoue, the four-belt undisputed super-bantamweight champion and arguably the best pound-for-pound fighter alive, against Junto Nakatani, the three-weight world champion who moved up to 122 specifically to take this fight. Both Japanese, both unbeaten in their primes, both shockingly heavy-handed for the weight class. Inoue's right hand is the most efficient finishing punch in boxing today; Nakatani's southpaw jab and uppercut are the cleanest in the division. Tokyo Dome will hold 50,000-plus and the noise will be biblical. Twelve rounds is unlikely. This is a generation-defining bout, full stop.
