Comments Thread For: Inoue Addresses Hand Wrap Concerns, Advises Team Fulton To 'Just Fight'

[The Big Dunn]

so the big black man is scared of the little asian man? typical... seen it with floyd. is this what you are trying to get it?

Where did Fulton say he was scared? If he was scared he wouldn’t have signed for the fight.

Youre mad because a black boxer is fairly raising an issue against an Asian boxer because youre Asian. No more, no less.

You are too cowardly to just say that ( because youd come off very racist ) so you keep trying to make raising the issue wrong when Fulton and his team did nothing wrong.

Since they did nothing wrong you tried pivoting to race and fear. Pathetic.

That didnt work so now youre mentioning Floyd in a desperate attempt to divert the conversation.

Extremely pathetic.

They didnt choose to bring it up sooner because they aren’t required to.

I answered that- perhaps to use it as leverage.

No, mind games because they aren’t sure is something youre making up.

Ok, then have a problem with it. That doesn’t make it wrong or bad because you dont like it.

Says who? You. The rules allow for issues to be brought up anytime, so long as its done the right way. Team Fulton did that. You dont get to set an arbitrary rule because you don’t like when it was done.

No it doesnt idiot. That phrase is about a crab pushing other crabs down and they all failing to get out of the barrel.

threatening to pull out..... if it's that big of a deal, why not bring it up sooner? you keep repeating that there is no rule, time frame, etc.... i am asking you if it's that big of a deal to the point of pulling out of the fight, wouldnt you wanna bring this up sooner? you keep dodging this saying "there's no rules"... i never said there's a rule about this. my problem is that why wait until days before the fight to bring this up if it's that big of an issue?

why threaten to pull out then?

im the one bringing up race? but here you are saying im mad because fulton is black and inoue is asian? that has zero to do with this...

my issue is team fulton threatening to pull out over an issue that should have been brought up sooner... you keep ignoring this and keep making up lies about fulton black question inoue asian, etc.. look how mad you are getting calling me names now??? typical of you.

I am not dodging anything. I keep answering no.

Because they wanted to wait.

wanted to wait for what? they are threatening to pull out!! if it's that big of an issue, why wait until days before the fight to bring it up? what leverage are they looking to get? why do they need it? your turn.

says a thing called "negotiation"... where things like this get brought up and sorted out way ahead of the actual fight taking place... not when both fighters have already signed the contract, days away from the fight, then brings it up threatening to pull out... i mean if you see nothing wrong with this then more power to you. if you feel team fulton need to use leverage over inoue then more power to you.

Answered twice- my guess leverage to get something.

Of course it does. That is why you brought up Fulton being black. You had nothing else but to make it about race because I refuted your initial points.

I didnt ignore anything. I posted a direct response to you saying it shouldve been brought up earlier-

Says who? You?

Again, you dont get to decide how Fulton’s team operates. You don’t have to like it.

Whose mad other than you because Fulton raised an issue against a boxer you like at a time you didnt like?

I didn’t call you any names. I said you pivoting to race and fear were pathetic and then bringing up Floyd was extremely pathetic.

Not like Fulton can't do it too if he wants... Rules are equal for both fighters, and it's permitted, which is easily found out. Wrapping rules vary from location to location even across the US. If you actually thought it was a big deal for your fighter's safety, you'd do your research before you ever agree to the fight, and you would address it before signing the contract. So either it's BS, or Fulton's team is incompetent.

Saying that Fulton didn't even want it addressed and dumping it on the head trainer smacks of excuses too. Maybe trying to play mind games and get Inoue irritated so he's more likely to make mistakes? Or distract from something else. Lost some respect for Fulton and his team with this nonsense. He's not going to pull out over something that's fully permissible in the rules and risk his payday at this last moment, so it's about something else.

[Biolink]

Exactly. Both fighters can wrap their hands the same way so what’s the issue.

If he's not used to wrapping his hands like that it can be distracting and very uncomfortable. Also there's an art to wrap stacking, so if nobody in his camp knows how to do it that can be troublesome. You don't wait until the 11th hour to start trying new stuff that you haven't ever done in your career.
