Boxing with morning coffee....fine by me!

same here. I literally jumped off my couch watching that first Inoue vs Donaire fight.

No matter the result at Welterweight, Inoue is my p4p (closely followed by Usyk, no ducking or A-side bullshido from him)

He's called monster for a reason.

Definitely don't mind waking up early to watch this one.

Its crazy a fighter like Fulton is underdog in a weight class he is champion and not to forget the bigger man. Lol

I love me some Bud Crawford, but Inoue has been my P4P #1. Crawford is simply not active enough the past three years.

I don't watch boxing religiously like I used to but I never miss a Inoue fight. Then by the time it's over I am usually rewatching it. There's a lot of very good fighters right now but none of them bring the excitement like Inoue does.

Great fight! It is going to be a high stakes game of speed chess!

this is a ballsy move- back in the day it'd have been like Mayweather moving up to fight Golovkin or Garcia moving up to fight Spence. Oh! or Khan moving up to fight Canelo Oh! Oh!(cash-out) or Brook moving up against Golovkin Triple Oh!!! or Canelo moving up against Bivol.

Every single one of those (apart from first that didn't happen) ended up in the lighter guy losing -is Inoue any different?

It's hardly a significant jump up in weight, Fulton won't be able to do much with Inoue, it's just a question of what round he gets stopped in

I like Fulton a lot as a fighter, but Inoue is a rare breed. He fought the final 6 or 7 rounds of the first Donaire fight with a fractured eye socket. That showed me something.
