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

[JOITATS]

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.

donaire hits harder than fulton anyday.
i don't think inoue have a problem with power up at 22. up to now, seems like he's becoming more powerful as he moves up.

but you're prob right about fulton always goin defensively from the start. i think they both might do some of the feeling out process in the beginning.
but eventualy inoue will apply the pressure as he always does, and fulton will have to engage.
fulton always stands and engages.
figueora is not a 1 punch precise knockout guy. you know damn well, inoue is.

anyways, i think it will have some competitive rounds.

This should be a good one!!!

Fulton’s size advantage and fighting style make this fight interesting.

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

You said he didn't have a stand out fight yet. I reminded you that one of his fights was literally the fight of the year

Fulton will have to be perfect all night. Naoya is just as fast, and skilled

[_Rexy_]

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

Exactly. This fight should have the entire board active for once. This is the type of **** we all complain about on how these fights don’t happen anymore.

Donaire hit harder from 112-118 at 122 and 126 his power was normal. Figueroa hits harder than Inoue he's a bigger guy naturally, Inoue is just more explosive and precise with his punches which leads to more eye catching knockouts but as he has gone up in weight he is going rounds and not blasting people out on the regular he breaks them down with accuracy.

Stand out fight meaning against undefeated unified champion in their prime, not a past prime Nonito who moved down divisions after already reaching his prime I hold that win no higher than Omar Narvaez. Aside from Donaire his best win is Emmanuel Rodriguez.

Figueroa absolutely does not hit harder than Inoue at 122. LOL.

Inoue's KOs generally come from his timing and punch placement.

And the legs. Watch how his legs and body are filling out. Wouldn't be surprised if he's more powerful at 122.

Old Donaire is still above current Fulton. You will notice overtime that his win against Donaire will be more remembered than his win over Fulton
