Damn
I liked Nery before this fight but I never thought he would bumrush Yamanaka like this!! Great win for Nery and tough loss for Yamanaka.
This was bound to happen at some point to Yamanaka. He’s come incredibly far given his lax defense. This isn’t the first time he’s been tagged like crazy in a fight (e.g. vs. Moreno II). The difference here was really that Nery himself is a hard hitter.
Very good fight showing a boxer incapable of defending himself and totally overwhelmed from the hurricane of unstoppable punches received in the last round. The stoppage was OK since Yamanaka wasn’t in condition of continuing with this bout.
Yamanaka was only doing well when he was trying to use his reach advantage. However, in spite of, Nery was always able in all the previous rounds to get closer and connect power punches good enough to put him at severe risk of losing this fight earlier. A rematch in this case is well deserved.
