Comments Thread For: Crawford: I'm Leaning Towards Fulton [Over Inoue]; Not Only Bigger, Stronger, He Has Skills, Too

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Terence Crawford favors Stephen Fulton to win the biggest fight that'll take place outside of the United States next week. The unbeaten WBO welterweight champion respects Naoya Inoue, but Crawford considers Fulton's size, strength and skills as advantages that'll help him upset the Japanese superstar in their 12-round fight for Fulton's WBC and WBO 122-pound championships. Inoue (24-0, 21 KOs) will face Fulton (21-0, 8 KOs) in a 12-round main event Tuesday night at Ariake Arena in Tokyo.

Fulton stronger? Lol

Really what would possess a person to side with Fulton over Ina ? Size oh OK sure that is what matters in the this fight that is the deciding factor in this fight. No Crawdaddy has other reasons for picking his boy then the size matters argument.

Does the worse man ever win?

Good to see American fighters supporting other American fighters. Well done lad well done. I think the fight is a tossup myself and I won’t be surprised by either man winning. But as a Brit who chose to be an American, I’m hoping for our American champion to bring it back. Respect to the the monster though, respect to Japanese warrior boxers and their highly highly disciplined culture of Japan

This will be a true test for Inoue, I'm a Monster fan, if he beats fulton convincingly on point, or stops fulton he will really be a rare complete fighter, I like fultons skill set. I don't think the difference in weight will be an issue, as I've said in many posts about Inoue, he is one of the very few fighter who thinks and plans his power shots, I expect the monster to stop fulton, late or early, possibly Rd 4

Curious for real - why round 4?

You must mean because Fulton is more skillled, slick, and diverse in his punch placement and defense. Or maybe because Fulton has actually fought a bigger array of styles and came out victorious. I refuse to believe that you would overlook these things to go to the shallow minded thought process that runs rampant on this site that any fool could pull out when they would like to be accepted by the ignorance club.

In terms of potential Rd 4 stoppage fulton will be very nervous, I expect Inoue to come out exceptionally aggressive and violent, he has the fitness and youth to keep it going for the full 12, Inoue knows trying to out last fulton won't win him the fight, I will witness a supreme fighters against a very good one, that's the difference in this fight.
