Kenshin Oshima Team Overview
A 9-3-1 record might not look impressive on paper, but it belongs to a fighter with a strong character, solid technique, and the ability to impose awkward rhythms. Oshima may not be a pure finisher, with just over half of his victories coming by knockout. However, he is a tenacious and persistent boxer. Kenshin, on the other hand, doesn't feel as comfortable at long range and lacks experience in 12-round bouts, which could be a factor under pressure from a more seasoned opponent.

Editorial Prediction
The fight promises to be intense yet predictable: Nakajima is expected to set the pace, take the lead, apply careful pressure, and secure rounds with precision and punching power. Oshima will likely try to slow down the tempo and drag out the fight, but Kazuki holds the edge in all key metrics. A knockout is possible, especially in the latter half if Oshima tires, but the most likely outcome is a decision victory for Nakajima as he won't rush the proceedings.
