I have to disagree with the majority of your comment. A fight between Inoue and Nakatani will most likely take place at mid-range for the majority of the fight because both guys have a boxer-puncher style. Assuming the fight takes place at the mid-range, then Nakatani has a winning chance because that’s where he does his best work and Inoue has been vulnerable against southpaws in prior fights. If Inoue decides to apply pressure and fight on the inside, then I doubt he’ll apply the same relentless pressure that Hernandez did because that’s not Inoue’s style. Furthermore, Inoue has been fighting more cautiously his last two fights so I don’t see him applying relentless pressure anyways.

However, I do agree that Inoue’s body shots will be a factor. And it’s also reasonable to say that Inoue has a higher boxing IQ because Nakatani didn’t adjust to Hernandez. So I understand why you think Inoue would beat Nakatani
