I like Junto Nakatani. But he very recently turned down the biggest fight of his career, with Bam Rodríguez for later this year. Meanwhile Naoya Inoue just putting in work, while Team Nakatani out here marinating. BTW, Bam Rodríguez a Real One too.

I get it though. Bam is a killer. The inoue fight is right there. That's massive payday and 90k fans in a stadium. I dont think nakatani is afraid of anyone. The bam fight is still there down the road. The inoue fight might not be if bam beats him. I just wonder who bam fights after Rodriguez. He seems intent on going to 118. I guess the vargas wba fight is most sellable but bam starches him. Takei seems good but nobody knows who he is here. I wish collazo was a little bigger and could move up. Styles wise bam-collazo is sensational, Oscar is just too small. I wouldn't be surprised if like Calderon collazo never goes above 108.

Collazo uber talented and a fun watch because of his rare KO power for that size. Reminds me a bit of Ricardo Lopez. 💯 Nakatani/Inoue is the bigger fight. But a Bam fight is huge in it’s own right. Plus I despise the whole “Marination Mentality”. Naoya ain’t letting his career revolve around any one fight. Neither is Bam. Those two carry their cajones around in a wheelbarrow. Team Nakatani is just raising eyebrows a little. And that has to be acknowledged is all. No hating.
