Together Nakatani (22 = MT), third in the WBO boxing world class, won the decisive title match with Magramo (26 = Philippines), who is first in the same class, 8 times 2 minutes 10 seconds, and became the new champion. Was.

Hideyuki Ohashi (55), president of Ohashi Jim, praised Nakatani’s hand-to-hand combat technique. Long-term management was also impressed.

◇ ◇ ◇

Nakatani was strong enough to say that a new star appeared in the Japanese boxing world. Especially great was the hand-to-hand combat from the second round onwards. Despite the distance Magramo is good at, he dodged the attack with blocking and got the perfect rhythm of the match with a strong superior from inside.

On defense, by subtly shifting his standing position on the side step, he always kept his body in a place where Magramo couldn’t hit hard. The opponent was defeated on his own turf and there was nothing to do. After the seventh round, I was back to distance and in the end I couldn’t see Magramo at all. Win far, win close, defeat far again. I think it was an ideal development based on the strategy I was preparing.

Seeing Nakatani’s illusory move, I was reminded of Mr. Leppard Tamakuma (former WBA world champion in fly class). Leppard was also 173cm tall for a fly class, but most players were hit by short shots in tight spaces. I think Nakatani has more strength than Mr. Leppard, and when I really face him, I think he is a player who feels difficult and scared.

It is eye-catching KO power and has high technical capabilities, so it will be possible to target long-term management. Ioka, Tanaka and others are also in the super fly class a higher level. Since he is tall, he can be expected to conquer various classes, and I hope he will become a presence that will cheer up the world of boxing. (Former WBC Minimum Class World Champion, WBA)
