Can Junto Nakatani topple Naoya Inoue?

Southpaw's artillery gives him a puncher's chance on May 2

I can hardly wait for the big all-Japanese battle this coming weekend between Naoya Inoue and Junto Nakatani in Tokyo. All four of Inoue’s belts will be on the line for undisputed super-bantamweight glory.

While ‘The Monster’ Inoue is a justified favourite, some portside punchers have found gaps in the defence worth exploiting. ‘Big Bang’ Nakatani has proven himself to be a vicious finisher down at bantamweight.

Can he replicate that form by employing a scything right hook to head or body, as displayed in this video clip from an early career KO at light-flyweight?

Let me know your thoughts on this fight in the comments below…
