The Fight # 67 LNT

Heavy hands meet clean craft as we unpack a card that reminded us why elite boxing still runs on skill, nerve, and judgment. We start with the co-main: Nakatani vs Sebastian Hernandez turned gritty and close, the kind of fight where blood and micro-edges cloud clean scoring. We walk through why a 115–113 card felt more honest than the wide reads, and how movement, round stealing, and visible damage can pull fans in opposite directions. Then we zoom out to the tough truth about traveling to win. On the road, you don’t squeak by; you dominate. Local energy is real, and champions often get the benefit of big moments. If you hate that, you’re not alone—but until the system changes, fighters have to make daylight on the cards.

It's late in LA. The fight episode 67. Taping in it. Come on now. Yo. In a way versus Picasso. Nikonate versus Sebastian. Listen. The ring. The Knight of the Samurai. On Dayson. Come on. Listen, we just came back from a weekend of joke fights. We had to get back to real fights that matter. Men who dedicated themselves to the sport. Shout out to Anaway. Shout out to Nakatani. This is a great card. This was great for boxing. This is why we get up early. First off, I just want to take my hat off to the event. Shout out to Ring of Magazine for posting the fights immediately. For people that are abroad who couldn't catch it live, guys, you missed out on some really high-class boxing. First and foremost, want to shout out to Sebastian Hernandez. I do not agree with the cards. I thought that fight was much, much closer. It was a dog fight. Surprising. I thought Nakatani would have an easy time with this style. He did not. He got hurt. He got his eye messed up during this fight. And he earned his victory. It was a real fight. You know, punches and bunches. The Japanese style versus the man, that those styles mess so well as far as like action and both taking risks. So shout out to both fighters. I can't wait to see what happens next. So let's just get to the fights themselves. Nakatani wins a unanimous decision. People said 118, 110. I think it should be 115-113. Nakatani definitely lost the rounds. Nakatani definitely took some lumps. He didn't look good. And that doesn't look good for the fight with anyway. But that's not here or there. Let's stay into the Nakatani fight. Him and Shibashan were going back and forth, taking heavy damage from each other. This was a seesaw fight for me. I think Nakatani had more movement, more boxing, and he stole some rounds as well. And you gotta also remember, guys, this is overseas. These guys are gonna get calls, they're gonna get judging going their way. If you're mad about that, change boxing. If you're mad about that, change MMA, change any combat sport, change wrestling. Like, there's no place in combat sports where we don't have local bias. It's a part of it. Be good enough. Like when you're going somewhere else, you just have to dominate. You can't try to win by points. Like, I still believe that you have to beat the champion. Like, I get it. Like, but if you go out there and outpoint a champion and it's not really significant, and the champion still has moments, I'm like, I want to give the champion another because at least they have been more entertaining throughout. But that's just me. Let's stick to the fights, let's talk about local energy. That's what Nakatani got. He got the nod, he got the UD, bars the co-mane. Now we're gonna get into the main event. We got In away versus David Picasso. This fight was a work of art, a true masterpiece, a true boxing class. If people want to talk about boxing and how clean and clean it could look, and how little damage you can take, you gotta look at Floyd, you gotta look at Inouway, gotta look at Furno what Whitaker. People who are able to pitch shutouts that completely devastate their opponent technically. There's nothing they can do. They're just in the ring for the 12 rounds until it's over. They don't get a moment to win, they don't get a moment to shine. They had all these issues with NOA's gloves and the hand wraps in the fucking bat just to get out box anyway. I'm about to start calling him anyway, in a way. How is he gonna win? Anyway. Anyway, it's gonna be in a way. Like, dude's a dog, dude is the monster. Can't you know his career is starting to dwindle. He's talking talking about retirement. He's talking about what he's gonna do towards the end. He's talking about Bam Rodriguez. Listen, him versus Bam is a tough fight. I don't think Anaway should take that. He's been on the ground too many times. Bam's 22 with all them belts, bro. He just looks better. Every fight he looks better. That's crazy. His development, his IQ, his power, his defense. I think Bam gives both Nakatani and Inway an issue. Now, speaking of those two fighters, I can't wait to see them collide. I'm now all the way on the NOA side. I was leaning towards Nakatani before, but I'm going back to Nouway. Nakatani looks like he's punchy, bro. Nakatani's getting hit. Anyway hits people. This may be a seesaw fight. People gonna get dropped. I think Inouway might get dropped. But you know he's getting back up. Nobody's put in a way down for good. He gets back up. Real champion only. Special shout out to Tony Ferguson. He also got a W on the misfit card on in the Andrew Tate situation. So shout out to Tony Ferguson. That's the second win. After going undefeated in the EFC, didn't lose in 10 in a row to going into boxing and winning two in a row. It really is where you go, where you grow. The fight, episode 67, tap ended. It's Lena Lee.
