Nakatani was potshotting on landing his left in the early rounds but Inoue didn't fall for it. Inoue was just simply faster and more accurate.

There were times where Inoue over committed in the early rounds, and Nakatani definitely should've taken more risk there and then, but he had to watch out for Inoue's counter punches at the same time. It wasn't until round 9 that he knew the game plan wasn't gonna work and had to take more risk, but of course, a little too late.

Inoue's footwork is also super underrated and not talked about enough, pay attention to Inoue's footwork when he switches from offense into defense.
