I feel refreshed!” Jyunjin Nakatani reveals with a smile the behind-the-scenes story of his “2 weight class win by KO with a shudder!

I’ve never seen Juntaro Nakatani express his joy with his whole body like this. You made his childhood dream come true in a good way. ……”

Mr. Sumito Nakatani, 47, who was at ringside watching his son fight, felt this way as he watched the new WBO super flyweight champion run across the ring with his fist raised in victory.

Sumito and his wife arrived in Las Vegas three days before the fight to join his eldest son, who was aiming for a two-weight championship, and his second son, who was supporting his brother as a manager. After Junjin passed the weigh-in the day before, the four of them had dinner together as a family for the first time in a while. The father was more nervous than the always nonchalant Junjin.

A few hours before the bell, they heard that their opponent, Andrew Moloney, who had been hired as a sparring partner, had lost by KO in a match the day before.

The two fighters may share a similarity in that they are both tall southpaws, but their technique, speed, and punching power are not comparable, and they are not strong enough to be a “virtual Junjin Nakatani. The Moroni camp has miscalculated in the preparation stage.

Hearing these words, Mr. Sumito regained some composure. Nevertheless, his body stiffened with a parental desire for good results and to avoid injury.

However, Jyunjin Nakatani was not overawed when he appeared at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, where George Foreman, Mike Tyson, Oscar De La Hoya, Floyd Mayweather Jr., Manny Pacquiao, and other fist-heavy fighters had fought fiercely.

The new WBO super flyweight champion looked back.

I thought it would be great to fight in a place where so many great fights have taken place. I was deeply moved to think that I would be competing in a ring that I have watched on TV screens since I was a little kid, and when I stepped on the canvas, I felt the joy.
