00:0064 fights, 64 wins, both undefeated, both multiweight world champions, 51, number two pound for pound level, if that's what
00:11Anouye is.
00:13There's two big punches of Nakatani.
00:16Look how they both dipped down.
00:19You're just waiting for something to happen, aren't you?
00:23Last few seconds, who's nicked this first one?
00:29Blond as ever of Naoi Inouye, looking for his 28th knockout.
00:35First couple of rounds, but they can also come late, and Inouye does fight.
00:39Power carries for both.
00:42Because the concentration is always there.
00:44Try and do, Inouye has boxed Bortsiders before, but anyone...
00:49Just the incredible respect between the pair.
00:52And it's been like that all through the...
00:54A little bit more here.
00:55You see Nakatani flicking that jab, trying to encourage him to come forward.
01:01Right hand from Inouye, tries to get it closer.
01:05And that's the only scoring point.
01:06And that's why Nakatani is trying that out.
01:10A right hand as well.
01:11Just the range that his opponents tell us about.
01:14That he's so good.
01:16Nakatani tries to come back with a left, but this is a zone today.
01:21Oh, lovely from Inouye there.
01:23The feet there from Inouye, lovely.
01:26Oh, nice.
01:26Small little movements.
01:27Oh, nice.
01:28Again, look at it.
01:28Right, you can get it off.
01:30Hey, hey, hey.
01:31Again, if you're going to touch with that jab for Nakatani...
01:35...the feet there from Inouye, they're in a lot in straight lines, but this small movement...
01:38...and then springs in Inouye.
01:41Nakatani just caught.
01:43Same thing in the last shot, but a bit more weight in the shot.
01:46Jamie McDonald, remember that?
01:49When Jamie, good fighter, was blown away.
01:51Forehand.
01:52Camp's gone perfectly.
01:54Can he deal with the pressure?
01:58Building confidence here in Inouye because, again, that looping left hand.
02:02That's better.
02:03That's good from Inouye.
02:04Unless you're getting low.
02:06Right hand from Inouye.
02:08Some of the opponents have told me that have fallen in the past have said...
02:13Good work from Nakatani.
02:15And a good left hand.
02:19Speed, timing.
02:20He left that left hand go a few times, and that's what he...
02:25Again, it didn't land flush, but just doing it, being brave enough to let it go.
02:29I think that's going to be a...
02:30Not great win over Sebastian Hernandez, right?
02:33Nice shot.
02:34But he's 33, but looks in incredible shape as ever.
02:38And a few wrongs here, Nakatani.
02:40When he's light on his feet, isn't he, Nakatani?
02:44Walked in to come in with one of his good uppercuts, yeah.
02:48Maybe that's...
02:49Maybe that's...
02:50But it has been tantalizing, and curious, and absorbed.
02:56Maybe the belief, Barry.
02:57Yeah, it is.
02:58And a good boy took there from Nakatani.
03:00Again, coming in the end of a...
03:02He has become.
03:05Good work from Nakatani.
03:09See short, thudding punches from Inoue, and you feel Wallerb's just going to crack through life.
03:14Love the dignity and respect that the two have shown each other in the build-up.
03:18Good work from Inoue, both having their moments as the seventh.
03:23All the treasure around ringside, paraded beauts.
03:27We want some drama, some jeopardy, but you've got to admire what they're doing.
03:35It's the anticipation that's making it interesting, that's the truth of it.
03:40Going for it now, though.
03:43Nakatani, but maybe more sustained, more organized.
03:52Beautiful.
03:53From the occasion, we're lucky enough to witness this guy.
03:58Good shot there.
04:00Nakatani should lift the elbow and bring that right hook down.
04:03Chop it down.
04:04He does that.
04:05Look at that.
04:06Getting out of range and back in.
04:08Inoue.
04:10With his...
04:10Knocked him back there from Inoue.
04:13Good shot, though.
04:14Good right hook.
04:15Yup.
04:16But back comes Nakatani at the end of the eighth.
04:19And he's caught Inoue to the cards.
04:21We don't know.
04:21Into the ninth round, four to go.
04:24But he's been springing into action more and more.
04:26And it's a good start to this session.
04:29And Inoue just on the...
04:33How do you think the cards will read at this sort of stage?
04:36It's a lovely combination there for that.
04:38Just waiting in shots.
04:39The second half of this.
04:40Maybe Inoue slightly tight at Superbant away like this.
04:44Inoue will find something.
04:47Good combination.
04:49Came in Nakatani, clever thinking.
04:52Nice.
04:53More recently, but still those 27 knockouts.
04:56Good work from Nakatani.
04:58In and out.
04:59Quality punches.
05:00Is arguably the best round of the fight.
05:03Yeah, short left hand there for Nakatani as well.
05:05Big Bang looking for the big left hand.
05:08The last nine minutes.
05:10Junto Nakatani is really oozing confidence.
05:14But back comes Inoue to strike.
05:16Inoue comes back.
05:18And the action getting better.
05:19This is a fabulous stretch in the fight.
05:22For the challenger, Junto Nakatani.
05:25Not as many miles on the clock.
05:28He had that first fight at Superbant away, Barry.
05:31And now he's settling down.
05:33On the front foot.
05:34Is this the length of time at Superbant away?
05:38That's the word.
05:39But late in the fight.
05:41They've got tying the corner to get him through.
05:44And here comes...
05:45For Nakatani.
05:48Yep.
05:49The momentum has shifted.
05:52Palaio.
05:52How have you got it?
05:53All around the world.
05:54What are you seeing here?
05:56Inoue.
05:57Starting to get the combinations going again.
05:59Is he in front for you?
06:01Nakatani just takes one there.
06:03For sure.
06:05Good work from Nakatani.
06:08That big shot there.
06:10And we can see it.
06:11The right hand.
06:12Just get some fluency back in his work here.
06:15But it's opening up more.
06:17In the closing minutes.
06:20Oh, lovely shot.
06:21Lovely have I come from on the way.
06:23Beautiful.
06:23Come on then.
06:24I'm testing you everywhere.
06:26Could be the pivotal moment.
06:29Oh, wonderful work.
06:31We're asking for 15 rounds to come back.
06:34For one day only.
06:37Yeah, that's good for Nakatani.
06:39Lovely.
06:39Really exciting now.
06:40It's gone from the chess match.
06:42And the final way.
06:44And he's done it.
06:45After losing two or three rounds.
06:46Big right hand.
06:47And just.
06:48And in the way.
06:49Desperately.
06:49But the fluency.
06:50Has gone out.
06:52And the right hands of Inoue.
06:54Look very dangerous.
06:55In the 12th.
06:56It shouldn't be a thing.
06:58But that momentum is a funny thing.
06:59And the confidence it gives you.
07:00And you.
07:01Right now.
07:02Inoue.
07:03Still unbeaten.
07:05And cementing it.
07:06Inoue.
07:07Changing it up.
07:09Again.
07:09So.
07:10He grabbed a few rounds back there.
07:11But I think.
07:11Down the stretch there.
07:13Nakatani.
07:14And he is still.
07:16The unified.
07:18Super bantamweight.
07:20Champion of the world.
07:23Mahoya.
07:24The master.
07:30Inoue.
07:32Marvelous.
