Nishida and Goodman super bantamweight title fight

Overview

The IBF world super bantamweight interim title fight between Ryosuke Nishida and Sam Goodman began with expert predictions favoring Nishida. Former world champion Daiki Kameda anticipated a close contest, forecasting a 115-113 decision victory for Nishida.

However, on September 27, Sam Goodman secured the interim title by defeating Nishida via unanimous decision at the Tokyo Dome. Judges scored the match 116-110, 115-109, and 114-111. Goodman utilized aggressive volume punching and body work to overcome Nishida, despite a chaotic eighth round in which referee Deon Duarte deducted points from both competitors. The victory improves Goodman’s professional record to 24-1 and positions him for a potential matchup with undisputed champion Naoya Inoue.
