Comments Thread For: Fulton: I Feel Like I'm Gonna Out-Class Inoue; The Power's Not Gonna Matter To Me

[just the facts]

This is a true 50/50 fight. Either guy can win. Fulton will have to hurt Inoue at some point to win. I doubt he wins on points in Japan.

Can you name even one bad decision from Japan?

Donaire was old and small, Fulton is bigger, faster, and craftier.

Small? The size difference was huge lol. Donaire looked the exact same as when he fought at 126

Again, Inoue has never fought a fighter with the style and skills of Fulton. Steph will control the action with his footwork, punch selections, and counters. It wasn't a smart decision to have his first slick boxing opponent be Fulton.

I like Fulton too, but Figueroa was landing at will. Fulton isn't the second coming of Pernell Whittaker.

It’s a straight up Pick Em fight, through and through. Inoue is not flawless, remember that Donaire did break his orbital bone. I think it may sway the vote slightly if it’s in Japan, unless they have a seamless judging process where they are all neutral judges. Great fight… Can’t wait

Inoue by TKO after a tough fight. Fulton can box. Inoue is arguably second best fighter since Floyd and can make his place more solid.

So it's not a huge deal for Fulton to travel and fight in a foreign territory. And he's fighting a monster. Unlike Haney who made a huge deal as if he's giving everyone favors. And he fought a puppy, plus a shot at undisputed.

You’ve totally got it back to front. Inoue is a 4 division champion. Yeah Donaire was older but still leagues better than fulton. If you’ve been studying boxing long enough you can see what’s special about Inoui. He’ll beat Fulton to the punch regularly. He sees it earlier, reads his opponent earlier, tunes in and times. You’re wrong about Fulton. It’s him who will be shocked and who will have underestimated his opponent and will pay the price. Inoui’s balance is better, he’s lighter on his feet, has better timing, is more aggressive, hits harder. If you don’t see you don’t see, but to those that do it’s obvious you’re wrong.

Clearly you just don’t like Haney. What is the deal with boxing fans??
Haney did exactly the same thing Fulton is about to do.

Styles make fights. Fulton's style is to spoil what the other guy is trying to do. He constantly adjusts and out thinks everyone. He boxes well on the outside, on the inside, he leads, he counters. There isn't one thing he doesn't do well and he changes styles in an instant. This isn't something Inoue can prepare for. Who can he spar that will be like Fulton? He can bring in many different ppl to get different looks. But when u have a guy in front of u like Fulton who is constantly thinking, and changing and he's strong, and he's tough and smart, and he does everything good, and he's naturally bigger, that's a lot to deal with. Fans may be in for a shock that night

I can't. I just get the feeling that a relatively unknown (though skilled and accomplished) American boxer will get favorable scorecards in Japan. Also, this will be a Top Rank promotion, correct?
