After picking up the pace, Nakatani took him down for the second time in the 11th round with a straight left hand. In the final round of 12, the victory did not move without forcing him to strike. Still, he dared to go for the knockdown.

In the interval before this round, Rudy said only: “Step to the left and right, and don’t stand in front of Moloney.

At 2:39 of the 12th round, Nakatani hit a counter left hook at the exact right moment. The next moment, Moloney was in the ring in a big heap, unable to move for a while.

For the first time in his 25th fight, Jyunjin Nakatani exploded with joy (photo by AP/Afro).

I wanted to finish him off properly,” he said. I want to compete in the U.S. in earnest in the future, and I wanted to show off who I am.

I landed a left hook from the front. It had an impact, so I knew I could beat him. I had been learning how to time my strikes in sparring. But I am not the type of fighter who wins in that way. I tend to overwhelm my opponent with a lot of moves, and then fall down when he doesn’t like it. It felt good to beat him cleanly, and I was really happy.

Rudy also commented, “It was a good job. A trainer who has coached Nakatani for more than 10 years said.

Even in the fifth and seventh innings, when he lost the points, he showed his ability to adapt by landing several technical uppercuts from close range. After I got through it, I told him to take advantage of his reach: ‘Keep your distance,’ ‘Jab,’ and ‘When you see an opportunity, uppercut. It’s a very satisfying victory. I’m really happy too.

I think Jundt is at his best in the bantamweight division. He still has a lot of potential. In order to move up further, he needs to increase his power and his number of moves. And I want him to master the distance.
