Can Nakatani beat Inoue in the big battle in the East in boxing? Well, it’s a fight for the galaxies in boxing terms when it comes to Japanese boxers — so — maybe.
Maybe he can.
Maybe he can’t.
We’ll see.
Upon weighing the scales up, we think it is absolutely possible because at the highest level of professional boxing like all professional sport, the margin of error is very slight.
Inoue needs to only have an off night or mess up making the weight the day of the weigh-ins to even slightly deplete himself in the rehydration process, or get a bad night sleep the night before the fight, to give Nakatani an edge.
That might sound trivial but the margin for mistake in high level world championship professional boxing is often that razor blade thin.
Besides, he has no pressure on him going into the super fight in Tokyo.
A fight so big with so much pressure on Inoue, that the fight is popular among boxing fans in the US, West and right across Asia and the East.
Despite their two small frames and statures.
Nakatani can box maybe a little better than Inoue when he is on form as well and puts his punches together and measures his approach.
He is moving up in weight and will come into this fight all guns blazing and maybe slightly less depleted from having to make the weight than his fellow countryman.
For these reasons, sure, Nakatani can beat Inoue.
Will he is another thing.
Let’s see.
Can Nakatani beat Inoue?
It is certainly possible but he needs to boxing absolutely out of his skin to do so.
