The WBC Bantamweight champion, along with Nakatani (31-0, 24 kos), did an easy work in the light of the technical victory of the IBF 118-LB, who won a technical victory of the sixth round on Sunday night in Ariake Coliseum in Tokyo, Japan. Together with the IBF belt, Nakatani captured the Bantamweight leash of Ring magazine.
The official stop time was at 3:00 in the sixth round. Nakatani was ahead of the three judges of the judges by scores 59-55, 58-56 and 58-56.
Initially, Nishida fought well in the first round, landing his hands and keeping the largest, stronger and more talented Nakanat. However, from the second round, everything was Nakatani, hitting Nishiada with hard hands on the right side of the face.
In the fifth round, Ryosuke, 28, seemed to be struck, closed right eye and completely exhausted. His corner would have made him a solid if they had stirred the white flag of surrender because he had no chance of winning. Together he used it as a fist bag, labeling his right eye closed with the left after the left.
At the end of the sixth, Nishida’s corner had the fight because his right eye had completely closed. He had been eating his hands that were left throughout the night from the Nakanatani Southpaw and could not do much to turn it into a competitive struggle because he was overcome in all departments.
The SouthPaw Nishida had also suffered a right shoulder injury during the fight, forcing him to fight with his left. Although he had both hands working, he couldn’t do much against Nakatani yet because he was being hammer with great shots of power that came without stopping together.
“From Flyweight, I wanted to unify my titles and finally, to Bantamweight, I was able to unify my titles. I’m satisfied right now,” Nakatan said after the fight.
Boxing fans want Nakatani to go to Super Bantamweight now to challenge Naoya Inoue for their titles. However, together, it may choose to stay in 118 to go after the WBA and WBO belts that need to become an indisputable champion. These titles are weak for the weak tape, which Nakatani would have no problems.
The disadvantage is that it will not receive much credit because these two camps are invisible to the fans, the complete unknowns and do not think well designed for the fans who know who they are. If Nakatani had his head to the right, he would forget his validation search and move to Super Bantamweight to fight Naoya Inoue now before leaving the 122 LB division to climb to the feather weight.
If Nakatani believes in himself, his shallow goal of being undisputed in Bantamweight will be scraped and will spend up to 122 to face inoue. Since along with it has decided to stay at 118 and not to follow Naoya by weight, it is a clear sign that the belief itself is not there. He does not want to expose -The Monster. “
If you could transplant a head of some of the brave fighters of the sport and sew it into the body of Nakatati in a Frankenstein experiment, it could do great things. I don’t see it happening. The body is willing but the mind is weak.
Nishida’s IBF title was questioned
What I want to know is how Nishida never won the title of IBF in the first place, because it seemed terrible the whole struggle. The Division of 118 LB is one of the weakest of the sport. Nishida captured the IBF belt in 2024, surpassing veteran Emmanuel Rodriguez by a narrow 12 round decision.
