Reaction on social media following Naoya Inoue’s win has been largely dismissive of a potential fight with Junto Nakatani, with many fans indicating little interest in that matchup.
The response followed a post from DAZN asking whether fans would like to see Inoue face Nakatani next. The majority of replies instead pointed toward WBO featherweight champion Rafael Espinoza as a more compelling opponent.
Nakatani fought earlier on the card and won a 12-round decision over Sebastian Hernandez Reyes in the co-feature. That performance drew mixed reactions online, with some viewers questioning the scoring and overall sharpness.
As a result, fan discussion has shifted toward Espinoza as a tougher and more meaningful challenge for Inoue, rather than an immediate domestic matchup.
