Another decision! What Tenshin Nasukawa “lacks”, direct words from former world champions Masataka Taniguchi & Ryoichi Taguchi.

On September 18, Tenshin Nasukawa (25) entered the ring for his second fight since switching to boxing and won an eight-round decision against Luis Guzman (27), taking him down twice and winning by such a wide margin that three judges scored the fight 80-70 each. At the post-fight press conference, he mentioned that he had hurt his left hand during the fight, and it was publicly announced on the 20th that he had been diagnosed with “left carpal instability.

During Nasukawa’s fight, the Ariake Arena was filled with “Go, Tenshin! Go, Nasukawa! and “Go, Nasukawa! A different crowd of boxing fans filled the arena. It seemed that Teiken, Japan’s largest boxing gym, had started a new business.

This time, I asked three experts to talk about Nasukawa’s fighting performance.

First is Masataka Taniguchi, 29, a former WBO world minimumweight champion. He is an active fighter who also does commentary work, and his accurate analysis is highly regarded.

He said, “In the beginning, he had his center of gravity low and his weight slightly behind his back. It reminded me of Jyunjin Nakatani, who defended his WBO world super flyweight title in his previous fight. His attack at the start of the fight was impressive, as he back-stepped when his opponent came out and hit a straight left hand. You also took a down right after the start of the match with it. I couldn’t tell whether he was reacting or looking at his opponent’s punches, but his timing was superb.

Guzman, who was knocked down, must have been flush or something, like, “No way! I’m sure he felt like a flash or a “No way! He must have been damaged, but I think he was surprised. From what I saw of Nasukawa, I think he is the type of fighter who takes down fighters with his sharpness rather than with his power. So, if you are too enthusiastic and say, “I’m going to knock him down,” it won’t work. I felt that if he was too enthusiastic, it would not go well.

I think his hand speed, reaction speed, and body movement speed are world-class. However, I think the use of these skills is monotonous. I was concerned about the lack of speed, the lack of a quick and easy attack, and the lack of a few things to draw from. If he had such skills, I think he would have been able to finish me. Nasukawa was always perceived as “fast” and “strong,” but I dared him to slow down his speed or let his opponent punch. I think there is a better plan, such as letting the opponent throw punches.

Also, in the beginning, my waist was firmly sunk, but in the second half, my body floated. When Guzman came out and I got a little tired in the second half, I floated when I was tired of hitting and attacking. I think this is an area that needs to be addressed. I am sure he is not satisfied with this victory, because he is also aiming to win the world title, but if he is looking at the world, I think he should learn how not to float, and to use more variation in his fighting style.

Nevertheless, I am looking forward to seeing him in the future, because he can do that kind of movement in his second fight. If you look at him and say, “He’s going to be a world champion,” then you can see some rough parts and holes, but if you think of it as the second round, the level will be high. I think it depends on how you look at it. The talent is very good, isn’t it? I think he has a great sense of style. There are strong champions in the bantam and super bantam weight classes, so it will be difficult for him to win the world championship, but I think he will reach a certain level, and he has the potential to become a world champion.
