Match Analysis: Eduardo Nunez vs Masanori Rikiishi – Prediction

Match Details

• Date: 2025-05-28
• Time: 9:00 AM UTC
• Location: Yokohama Buntai, Yokohama, Japan

Game Overview

The vacant IBF junior lightweight title will be contested between Eduardo Nunez and Masanori Rikiishi. Nunez (27-1, 27 KOs) enters as a powerful and experienced orthodox fighter, younger by three years and with more professional fights and rounds under his belt. Rikiishi (16-1, 11 KOs), a southpaw, holds a height advantage and has a strong knockout rate as well. Both fighters are highly ranked in the WBO and IBF divisions, making this a high-stakes and competitive matchup set for 12 rounds.

Key Factors to Consider

• Nunez has demonstrated overwhelming power with a 100% knockout rate in his wins, indicating high finishing capability. Rikiishi, though with fewer fights, shows solid knockout ability at 69% and benefits from a height advantage that could aid in range control.
• There is no prior head-to-head record between Nunez and Rikiishi, making this their first meeting.
• No reported injuries for either fighter ahead of the match.
• The fight takes place in Yokohama, Japan, potentially giving slight regional support to Rikiishi. However, Nunez's greater experience and higher activity level may offset any home advantage.
• Both fighters have strong motivation fighting for the vacant IBF super featherweight title, with Nunez aiming to solidify his standing as a top contender and Rikiishi seeking to claim his first major belt on home soil.
