Final seen turning into the very first man to knock down Naoya Inoue, this in a failed bid to grab the unified super-bantamweight titles from “The Monster” final Could, Luis Nery, 35-2(27) will face one other Japanese fighter later this month in his return to the ring. And on the face-off forward of his Feb. 22 struggle with Kyonosuke Kameda, Nery let free with some pre-fight punches as issues acquired heated.
The 2 males got here collectively, and Nery clearly wound up over one thing and pushed his upcoming dance associate away earlier than he slung out a left and a proper. Kameda beckoned Nery in for extra, however safety guys stepped in to forestall the incident from escalating additional. Each Nery and Kameda genuinely offended, not merely making an attempt to ramp up some hype and curiosity within the struggle that may happen in Nery’s hometown of Tijuana, Mexico.
Who is aware of, possibly this struggle, one which has gone considerably below the radar, might show to be fairly energetic when the authorized motion will get underway. Nery, although, is the favourite to win. 26-year-old Kameda is the taller man, nevertheless, and in compiling his 15-3-2(9) professional report, Kameda has been stopped simply as soon as. The person from Osaka has received his final 5, with all these fights happening in Japan. Kameda final boxed in December so he needs to be sharp towards Nery.
How a lot that in the end painful KO loss by the hands of Inoue took out of 30-year-old southpaw Nery, we have no idea, however once more, most followers do have him as a reasonably stable favorite over Kameda. However the unhealthy blood appears to be actual right here and possibly issues might show memorable when the struggle goes down. Will probably be fascinating to see the place Nery goes subsequent ought to he get by Kameda. Has Nery, a former WBC champ at 122 kilos, acquired what it takes to change into a two-time champion? Maybe, however provided that “Monster” Inoue vacates both of the 4 super-bantamweight belts he presently holds.
