    I didn’t see the gloves touch the canvas. Real close but there never was a definitive camera angle. Too high to completely see.

      Hahaha, who the **** cares. Guessing you did see a few hundred punches landed tho. That was just going into the 8th, so sure there was lot more of that coming Fulton's way.
      I'm not sure what Fulton was working on in the gym? Inuoe Scouted him so thoroughly saw everything that Fulton was throwing and reacted with jabs over and over. Inoues always in position to jab. Fulton wanted the big fights huh or did he or was it just the money. Ouch

        Didn't see much of anything from fulton...
        but then Inoue doesn't give his opponents much to work with.
        Excellent win for him. Now we'll see how fast he clears out this division.

          Inoue's KO video vs Fulton on Top Rank is the #1 Trending video on Youtube right now. Impressive. This win definitely giving Inoue more and more recognition.

            If after hours it just seems to you, you think Inoue or the ref could know it at that split second?

              Low KO percentage is not even the point. I saw loads of people claim Fulton had a better jab with a way lower connection rate

If you don’t care for his politics then say that. If you don’t care for his policies then say that.

                DeSantis’s crusade to delegitimize the horrors of slavery is white supremacy in government

                ​The historical revisionism being employed here has a singular goal – to erase the horrors of America’s racist past, legitimize far-right ideology and create easier pathways for racism to thrive.

                Just look at what’s happening in Italy. For years, revisionists have redirected conversation about Italy’s role in the second world war away from its ******* crimes, effectively trivializing that past – and helping legitimize the county’s new far right. The prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, and her ilk simply refuse to acknowledge that ****s and *******s were the bad guys in the war, and this ridiculous glossing over of Italy’s past has been extremely helpful to Italy’s contemporary far right.

                That is what DeSantis wants for America. A systematic destruction of human rights followed by a reworking of our collective memory around race, so that ultimately the country’s most vulnerable people don’t have a leg to stand on in fighting for their most basic rights...

                Ron DeSantis is following a trail blazed by a Hungarian authoritarian
                The Florida governor isn’t doing “competent Trumpism.” He’s inventing American Orbánism.

                In June of last year, Hungary’s far-right government passed a law cracking down on ***** rights, including a provision prohibiting instruction on ***** topics in sex education classes.

                About nine months later, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill banning “classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity” up through third grade. According to some knowledgeable observers on the right, these two bills were closely connected.

                “About the Don’t Say Gay law, it was in fact modeled in part on what Hungary did last summer,” Rod Dreher, a senior editor at the American Conservative magazine, said during a panel interview in Budapest. “I was told this by a conservative reporter who ... said he talked to the press secretary of Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida and she said, ‘Oh yeah, we were watching the Hungarians, so yay Hungary.’”

                (When I asked DeSantis press secretary Christina Pushaw about a possible connection, she initially denied knowing of Hungarian inspiration for Florida’s law. After I showed her the quote from Dreher, she did not respond further. Dreher did not reply to two requests for comment.)

                It’s easy to see the connections between the bills — in both provisions and justifications. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán described his country’s anti-***** law as an effort to prevent gay people from preying on children; Pushaw described Florida’s law as an “anti-grooming bill” on Twitter, adding that “if you’re against the Anti-Grooming Bill, you are probably a groomer” — meaning a person preparing children to become targets of sexual abuse, a slur targeting ***** people and their supporters that’s becoming increasingly common on the right.

                This is not a one-off example. DeSantis, who has built a profile as a pugilistic culture warrior with eyes on the presidency, has steadily put together a policy agenda with strong echoes of Orbán’s governing ethos — one in which an allegedly existential cultural threat from the left justifies aggressive uses of state power against the right’s enemies.

                Most recently, there was DeSantis’s crackdown on Disney’s special tax exemption; using regulatory powers to punish opposing political speech is one of Orbán’s signature moves. On issues ranging from higher education to social media to gerrymandering, DeSantis has followed a trail blazed by Orbán, turning policy into a tool for targeting outgroups while entrenching his party’s hold on power.

                Orbán has recently emerged as an aspirational model for many on the Trump-friendly right. During his presidency, many observers on both sides of the aisle compared Trump to the Hungarian autocrat — and not without some justification. But after a 2018 visit to Hungary, I concluded that Trump was not competent or disciplined enough to implement Orbán-style authoritarianism in America on his own. The real worry, I argued, was a GOP that took on features of Orbán’s Fidesz party.

                DeSantis’s agenda in Florida is evidence that the ********** shift in this direction is continuing, maybe even accelerating. He has shown little interest in moderation or consensus-building instead centering his governing philosophy on using policy to own the libs. While Trump may have been an ideological catalyst for the GOP’s authoritarian lurch, DeSantis is showing how it could actually be implemented in practice. The consequences for democracy in Florida, and America in general, could be dire...

                    You’re going to have to do better than an “opinion piece” a “hit job” from Tayo Berto the “social justice journalist” who ascribed the public backlash on Will Smith as “racism.” That alone, discredits her from anything of value or truth in her ramblings. It also establishes what her political slant is as well as her lens on life. She isn’t a “journalist.” She’s a “Social Justice Warrior” with the “journalist” moniker. It isn’t difficult to root these charlatans out who see everything through a colored lens.

                    You’ll also have to do a wee bit better in citing another author who writes opinion pieces for Ezra Freaking Klein at Vox. I mean, I have been following politics, the movers, the shakers, the people who pull the strings for decades. Ezra Klein is the last person I’d ever venture to say I’m going to get a straight news story from that isn’t 100% opinion based with a center/left, far left bias.

                    Simply put, there is no there there. DeSantis isn’t what you’re ascribing to him. Lefties typically bring out all the bogey men terms come election time to keep their voters in line….fear and ignorance is a powerful tool.

                      Ok? And? He was promptly canned. These folks have hundreds of people that work for them and most they never directly hire. I too can line up hundreds of skeletons across ANY CAMPAIGN that would make your head spin. I judge people based on their actions. And this was swiftly dealt with.
