Naoya Inoue saw off a spirited Junto Nakatani in an elite showcase of boxing.
‘The Monster’ was handed a unanimous decision victory by margins of 116-112, 115-113, 116-112 in front of a sold-out Tokyo Dome to retain his undisputed super bantamweight crown in the biggest fight in Japanese boxing history.
The first six rounds saw Inoue and Nakatani exchanging pot shots in an elite chess match that the veteran got the better of.
Then, in the seventh, the action caught fire.
Nakatani began to land some heavy combinations in the mid to late rounds, before Inoue turned the fight on its head in a grandstand finish.
In the 10th stanza, Nakatani suffered a horrific cut to the side of his left eyebrow after a clash of heads, which caused ‘Big Bang’ real problems.
And Inoue took full advantage as he poured on the pressure in the championship rounds.
Speaking in the immediate aftermath of his victory, Inoue said through a translator: “Thank you, everyone.
“I would like to show some appreciation for Junto Nakatani for fighting me tonight.
“A year ago at the world ceremony, I called out Junto to fight me one day and a year later it happened.
“I wanted to show you guys that I would be the winner, and I did everything to get the win.
“This victory is very valuable for me because Junto Nakatani is also a pound-for-pound-ranked athlete.
