Speed, precision, in-and-out movement, controlled aggression & body-head jab all on display for Inoue. Nakatani was a tough opponent. Knew he would be. The Monster jumps Usyk for me as P4P No. 1. Just an All-Time Great fighter.

Michigan-Arizona is not just a great Final Four matchup but one can argue an ALL-TIME GREAT Final Four matchup.
Certainly one of the best since 2000.

A 50-50 superb matchup you wanna see when it gets to the last four teams standing.
