Comments Thread For: Naoya Inoue Warns That He's "Fired Up" For Stephen Fulton Showdown

[Rebelrbg]

Not one person on here picking the champion, Fulton. Well, I guess I will be celebrating alone when Fulton schools and tames The Monster for 12 rounds in Japan. I won't say anything, I will just be waiting to see who will admit that they were totally wrong about Steph's talent level. And when he beats Inoue, does that mean Fulton is #1 p4p?

Of course I'll be rooting for Inoue but I'm surprised so many on here think it will be an easy win for him. It's quite the opposite. I wouldn't be surprised if he tskes his first loss here. Nobody just gonna move up in weight class and taie a champions belt easily.

Plus I expect Fulton to do a lot of clinching which is something that Inoue has never had to deal with before. Gonna be problems.

I got Fulton.

It's crazy how many casuals I see on social media posting about how This is "Easy Work, Fulton masterclass, KO"

I even saw someone challenge someone to a 10k bet that Fulton would win

It must suck to fight the Monster. Chances are that he smashes you to bits and you do not make 7 figures to fight him!

I read Marcus Browne made like 200k against Beterbiev. That fight may have also retired him.

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.

Should have gotten the stoppage too. That ref ****ed up big time

They are each the best opponent they have faced, that makes it an interesting fight, add the move up in weight, Fulton in Japan and you got some variables going on, I think it will be competitive.

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?

No it wouldn't. 160 would have been Mayweather's 6th weight division. Inoue hasn't fought in six different weight classes.

Pumped for this. I think Inoue is #1 p4p after this.

Yeah I don't get what that fella is on about, Inoue is moving up 4lbs .
