Nakatani is stupidly tough, there was a headbutt from Inoue with around 30 seconds to go there which was worse than the one that caused the cut and Junto didn’t even protest.

nakatani turned it up at the end of round 8 it was too late

Facts . It was 5-0 when Nakatani attempted to get active . He needed to find a way to go towards to champ early . Especially since his mid ranged left hook couldn’t land like he wanted it to.

Junto undoubtedly one of the best P4P fighters. Should rematch Hernandez, their first fight was great but he needs to put that right. After that, fight Bam presuming his run at 118 goes like we expect. Nakatani gave a great account of himself and this fight will make him better

Nakatani was putting hands on Inoue before that headbutt in Round 10. Still a big round for Junto. It was mainly a chess match over the first nine rounds. Let's get some blood and guts in the championship rounds. #InoueNakatani

I think Nakatani is gonna look back at this fight and be mad that he didnt get started sooner. I have it 7-5/8-4 in favor of Inoue but that headbutt blood definitely impacted round 11 for Junto. Its a shame the fight really started in round 7 #InoueNakatani pic.twitter.com/I45aEWH6bP

Although #JuntoNakatani came on strong in the second half of the fight, #NaoyaInoue was able to secure the unanimous decision in Tokyo. @FightsATW https://t.co/j2hBMlGopk

The tenth round Nakatani getting some success and just when he gets some success a head clash happens. Ouch. Nakatani definitely won this round, Naoya Inoue on the back foot a lot, he’s just landed the better shots on the champion.

10-9 Junto Nakatani #InoueNakatani
後半の中谷選手の猛攻を評価するポストも多いですが、ちょっと仕掛けるのが遅かったんじゃないか、という印象を持っている方々が多いようです。

WOW those were very reasonable and accurate scorecards. Inoue showed his class in the Championship Rounds after building a big early lead.

Nakatani had his moments. Inoue showed again he can adjust and switch gears. Congratulations to @NaoyaInoue_410
Naoya Inoue remains undefeated by UD in a terrific fight against Junto Nakatani, fueled by a sensational effort in round 11 and 12. Scores: 116-112, 116-112, 115-113. Perfect scorecards in a purist fan's fight. #InoueNakatani @NYFights

Naoya Inoue got knocked down early in a couple of fights, and since then, he has been much more cerebral with his starts and finishes strong. When he fights that way damn near impossible to beat because he has really good defense along with elite offense.

Naoya Inoue. A rock star. What a fighter. My god. What a fighter. #BOXING

That’s not on Naoya Inoue, come on, 2Tone 😂. It’s Junto Nakatani’s fault for being gun-shy and essentially taking the first six rounds off. Not every pound-for-pound or 50-50 matchup lives up to the hype. I still believe it’s impressive that Naoya defeated a top-ten fighter.

井上尚弥選手については、前半から積極的に攻めたことが功を奏した、という意見が多いですね。
中谷潤人選手が後半盛り返したことと、対照的に見えますが、井上尚弥選手のこの攻め方が、中谷潤人選手の前半の動きを抑えたのではないでしょうか。
