Inoue vs Picasso, Nakatani vs. Hernandez – Live Boxing Results

Naoya Inoue beat Alan David Picasso over twelve to keep his undisputed super bantamweight belts in Tokyo. Scores were 120 08, 119 109, and 117 111. Clean numbers, but not an easy night. Inoue had to adjust early.

Once Inoue settled, he went to work downstairs. The body shots started breaking rhythm by round four, but Picasso didn’t fold. He ate shots, reset, and stayed in front of Inoue longer than most. The Mexican’s height and guard slowed Inoue’s pace now and again. Not enough to swing momentum, but enough to make him work the full twelve without that freakish finishing rhythm he’s shown at 118.

When Inoue can’t bully or blow through, he’s got to live off accuracy and patience. Picasso made him use both. The win keeps him at the top, but these rounds tell the story of what might happen when his feet slow or his judgment drifts half a beat.

Nakatani moves up, looks solid – not spectacular

Junto Nakatani went twelve with Sebastian Hernandez in his super bantamweight debut and won wide on the cards. He boxed clean, maybe too clean. Hernandez worked his way in by the fourth and had success when he stayed busy inside.

Nakatani’s jab and range management carried it, but the fight dragged. Late rounds showed some swelling, maybe fatigue. He managed distance but not dominance. Hernandez never really threatened, though his pressure took away Nakatani’s ideal range more often than the numbers show. One scorecard was disgraceful, the Saudi judge scoring the fight 118-110.

For Nakatani, the shift to 122 looks comfortable but not settled. The stoppages at 118 came easier; here he’ll need more gears. If you can get close on him, you can test his balance and resistance. Against someone like Inoue, that’s the difference between surviving and collapsing. I had Nakatani winning it VERY close.

Garcia edges Imanaga in tough ten-rounder

Eridson Garcia nicked a split decision over Taiga Imanaga in a fight that swung on one knockdown. Scores came in 96–93, 95–94, and 95–94.

Imanaga started fast, southpaw, throwing through every exchange. He looked busier early, maybe banking the first three. But when Garcia settled, his counters began to break through. The eighth-round knockdown, straight right, clean, put the scorecards his way.

Credit to Imanaga, he kept firing, still pressing late, but that moment cost him his unbeaten mark. The fight showed he can move and flurry, but when the game slows, he’s hittable. Garcia just stayed tighter at the right times.

Tsutsumi stops Quintana after a sharp turnaround

Reito Tsutsumi stopped Leobardo Quintana in the fourth of their super bantamweight bout. Quintana came forward from the bell, chopped at the body, and pulled Tsutsumi into trades. The first two rounds were rough, Tsutsumi bled early and looked edgy.

That changed when he started timing his left hand. By the third, counter shots were finding home. In the fourth, he broke Quintana down with a right hook-left hand mix that dropped the Mexican hard. Quintana beat the count but had nothing left. Ref stepped in,  fair call.

Tsutsumi goes to 4–0 with three stoppages. Think southpaw precision, not brute force. His temperament still looks green under fire, but he adjusts quick, that’s what counts.

If this kind of night goes wrong

For the big names, this card wasn’t about proving anything, it was about what could leak through. Inoue did everything right but showed he can be made to work long and careful; that’s a door for anyone with reach and nerve. Nakatani boxed smart but safe, which only matters until someone walks through him.

These wins keep the records clean but don’t move the fights forward. They remind you how small the margin is once the physical gap closes.
