“Junto took the initiative from the outset and was obviously in command in the first two rounds. Nakatani, in round three, accelerated his two-fisted attack and connected with vicious body shots followed by southpaw lefts,” dagdag sa ulat. “Down went Dexter. He couldn’t beat the count to make the bright prospect an early victor.

Napaganda ni Nakatani ang kanyang rekord sa perpektong 16 panalo, 12 sa pamamagitan ng knockouts samantalang bumagsak ang kartada ni Alimento sa 13 panalo, 4 talo na may 9 pagwawagi sa knockouts.
