Nery did not have a positive image among Japanese supporters due to his controversial previous actions. He failed a drug test after defeating Shinsuke Yamanaka, but it was later determined that he had unknowingly consumed contaminated food. In addition, he was unable to meet the designated weight for the rematch despite winning.

It seemed like his reputation could be boosted after he took advantage of a rare opportunity in Inoue's defense and landed a strong left counter hook. This caused the champion to be knocked down for the first time ever in his career.
