Comments Thread For: Stephen Fulton-Naoya Inoue: The WBO Opens a Window

[WBC WBA IBF]

While I’m skeptical. I do think it’s possible. They won’t collaborate but they might let Fulton fight on ESPN I think.

0% chance.

I would definitely like to see that fight between Fulton, and Inoue, if in fact in can be made.

Inoue ducked black fighters all throughout his career. Top Rank will continue to feed him that soft serving deluxe!

Hey dummy, there’s exactly ONE black ranked fighter in all of Bantamweight who is ranked 8. So please share with all of us on this forum which exact “black fighter” would please YOU?

Fulton will biatch out as soon as Inoue becomes his official mando with a negotiation date set.

0% chance.

They let Porter do it. He’s a bigger draw than Fulton is.

This fight won't happen. Inoue avoided all the top fighters at 115 when he was there and they were all going round-robin yet the boxing world still wants to place him as a P4P.

He avoided them?

I don’t remember many guys calling Inoue out at 115.

What a fight that would be. The politics make it hard but that should be a fight where the powers that be can come to an agreement. Fulton is exceptionally educated in the defensive art of boxing and Inoue is an offensive machine so the styles clash perfectly. Who’s will be dominant? I have the sense that the naturally bigger Fulton has the advantage in this one but I am glad to be proven wrong if they can somehow bring this one to fruition. Make it happen in Japan, on ESPN

[The Big Dunn]

Please make this happen. Only downside is it will be on at 600am in America.

Fuck it- coffee, bagel, wake & bake.

The monster will flatten fulton, send him to splattsville, the monster has no problem taking fulton on as his first fight at the higher weight.

No matter how it works out,,,,,"It" being the fights that can be generated at 118 - 122lbs is good for the fight game, good for the fans, and good for boxing in that people will watch. Even if those who do not follow boxing at every turn will tune into a good mach up as long as it plays out as fights happening, fights leading be more good match ups. The names mentioned would allow the fight to sell itself for the most part very little hype needed. Sure a lot of disagreements over who will do what and when but that is just fight talk as it should be......Will Boxing ansere the bell ? Show itself as a sport that wants to make match ups that matter happen...... Maybe at this weight class they will stumble into a few good match ups ...I will not think too much about it till the contracts are signed and the fighters are on the way into the ring...
