Comments Thread For: Naoya Inoue: "I've Never Fought An Opponent Like Fulton But Fulton Can Say The Same For Me"

[SteveM]

hes the first guy inoue has fought who isnt a walking punchbag

Is Fulton a great fighter? How great?

[IceTrayDaGang]

throughout his career, inoue has always sparred with bigger, taller fighters. he's never had a problem with that. some ppl think fulton is much bigger, but he's only a few cm longer than donaire.

for some reason some ppl are mystified that there's some kind of X-factor because fulton is black. that's completey irrelevant. inoue beats down every opponent the same. mexican, japanese, filipino, black, thai.. doesnt matter.

however i do see fulton getting cracked early, and completely going into defensive mode the rest of the fight.

doesnt inoue spar with mostly japanese fighters only though?? skills wise gonna be a big gap once inoue steps in with a good boxer that moves. inoue has been fighting guys that comes to fight which makes it easier on inoue but with fulton, this mofo gonna be moving.

This is a fight and a card anyone that is a frequent poster on this site should be excited about!

I know I should be but they are sooo small.

Sparring isn't a pro fight and styles make fights, I'm still favoring Inoue but Fulton has shown he can take a decent punch and Inoue hasn't shown his power at 122 yet, there will be a cap where those punches don't hit the same and I'm thinking it will be 126 like it was for Donaire but we'll see. Fulton is bigger it's obvious Donaire and Inoue started at smaller weight classes so Fulton is the naturally bigger guy.

Fulton will fight defensive before he even gets cracked that's his style, but Figueroa is a decent puncher and although I thought Fulton lost that fight he still never went down and was able to recover pretty good so I don't think he's going to get run over that easy.

IF he does then Inoue is the real deal he's already a good fighter with a decent resume but he hasn't had that stand out fight yet so this might be it.

Fulton gonna have his running shoes on

he hasnt done a lot himself not hyping him up either but from looks of youtube he moves about a bit not just a sitting duck and isnt 40 years old like inoues last opponent

[Madison Boxing]

so you'll finally give him his props, if he wins? Probably not. I'm guessing there is some other reason you don't like him.

i wont be putting him as p4p number 1 like others have but it would be a decent win finally i will admit (not that anyone or any boxer gives a **** about my opinion)

His first Donaire fight was literally the fight of the year

His first Donaire fight was literally the fight of the year

What does that have to do with anything I stated? Are you saying that Donaire was in his prime?

no, he always brings in guys from the us, mexico, uk, philippines, armenia, etc.
californian lladmido was a sparring partner of loma, an olympian from the uk, adam lopez, lots of filipinos like featherwweight servania (crude but gave oscar valdez hell), villanueva, cataraja… and also he did some work in the LA recently… list goes on
