Boxing Results: Junto Nakatani Claims Bantamweight Unification Victory Over Ryosuke Nishida

WBC Bantamweight Champion Nakatani (31-0, 24 kos) 118-LB Champion Ryosuke Nishida (10-1, 2 kos), Sixth-Round Technical Knockout at the Sunday Night at The Ariake Coliseum Tokyo, Japan. Along with Ibf Belt, Nakatani Captured The Ring Magazine Bantamweight Strap.

Nishida’s Eye and Shoulder

The Official Time of The Stoppage Was at 3:00 of Round Six. Nakatani Was Ahead on All Three Of The Judges’ Scorecards by The Scores 59-55, 58-56, and 58-56.

Initially, Nishida Fought Well in the First Round, Lefting Left Hands and Holding off The Bigger, Stronger, More Talented Nakatani. However, From The Second Round, It was all Nakatani, Hitting With Nishiada Hard Left Hands to The Right Side of His Face.

By the Fifth Round, Ryosuke, 28, Loked Beaten Up, Right Eye Closed, and Entrely Exhausted. His Corner Would Have Him Him A Solid IF to the White Flag of Surrender Because He Had No Chance. Using the HIM AS a Punching Bag, tagging His Already Closed Right Eye With After Left.

At The End of the Sixth, Nishida’s Corner Had The Fight Stopped Due to His Right Eye Having Closed Up Competely. He’d Been Eating Left Hands All From The Southpaw Nakatani, And He couldn’t do Much to Make It A Competitive Fight HE Was Outgunned in Every Department.

The Southpaw Nishida Had Also Suffered A Right Shoulder During The Fight, Forcing Him To Fight With Just His Left. Even’s Had Both Hands Working, He Still Could Have Nakatani Because Hey Getting Hammered With Big Power Shots in Nonstop Junto.

Unification Dream Realized

“Ever Semce Flyweight, I’ve to Unify My tits, and finally, at Bantamweight, I Was Able to Unify My tits. I’m Satisfied Right Now,” Said Nakatani After The Fight.

Boxing Fans Want to See Nakatani Move Up to Super Bantamweight Now to Challenge Naoya Inoue His Titles. However, Junto May Choose At 118 to Go After The WBA And Wbo Belts That He Needs to Become An undisputed Champion. Those titles are even crowed by belt-holders, who nakatani would have been beating no problem.

The Downside Is Won’t Receive Much Credit Because Those Champs Are Invisible to Fans, Complete Unknowns, and Not Well Thought Of The Fans Who Know Who Tho Those. If Nakatani Had Had Head on Straight, His’d Forget His Quest for Validation and Move Up to Super Bantamweight to Fight NOW Leaves The 122-LB Division to Go Up To Featherweight.

Fear of ‘The Monster’

If Nakatani Believes in Himself, He’ll Scrap His Superficial Goal Of Bantamweight and Move Up To 122 To Face. Given That Junto has chosen to Stay at 118 and not follow naoya up in Weight, It’s a Clear sign That The Self-Belief Just Isn’t There. He Doesn’t Want To Get Exposed by ‘The Monster. “

If One Could Transplant From The Brave Fighters in The Sport and Sew It Onto Nakatani’s Body in A Frankenstein-Like Experiment, He could potentially accomplish Great Things. I Don’t See It Happening. The Body Is Willing, But The Mind Is Weak.

Nishida’s IBF Title Questioned

What I Want to Know is How on Earth Nishida Ever won the First Place, Because He Looked Awful The Entire Fight. The 118-LB Division is One of the Weakest in The Sport. Nishida Captured The Ibf Belt in 2024, Beating Veteran Emmanuel Rodriguez by Narrow 12-Round Decision.
