World Boxing Council bantamweight champion, Junto Nakatani, underlined his enormous power and skill by knocking out Mexican challenger David “The General” Cuéllar in the third round this Monday,
It was the main event of a card presented by Teiken Promotions at the Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan.
At the beginning, Cuéllar came out grimly determined to exchange shots, to pressure and make Nakatani retreat, but Nakatani responded with thudding and telling combinations.
Nakatani was more active and carved out niches and tracts with his powerful left hand. In the second round, Nakatani was unleashing hurtful combinations that crashed into Cuellar’s face. The Mexican pressed, courageously went forward, but Nakatani dominated with his better boxing and more effective power.
In the third, Cuellar smartly and smartingly counterpunched and managed to punish Nakatani. However, the Japanese responded ruthlessly, with pounding, sinking hooks to the body, which made Cuellar retreat yet none the less, he was knocked down.
In the unremitting resumption after brave Cuellar got up, Nakatani had no mercy. He launched himself to punish his rival with a powerful left, knocking Cuellar down again. He remained seated listening to the count of Referee Michael Griffin. It was over and out!
With this victory, Nakatani achieved the third successful defense of his WBC bantamweight title, improving his record to 30-0, with 23 knockouts.
