WOW! Pissed I had to be at work! Can't wait to see the fight! Damn, Scooter! Didn't think you would be KNOCKED OUT!!! Now see if Inoue will run it back in the U.S.?

Run it back? Lmfao that boy got his ass whooped. Bigger fish to fry for inoue than beating that bum again

The philly shell was no match for the jap a-side wrap

No I just heard the allegation and yes honor is a big thing in Japan calling inoues integrity into question is dishonorable is it not? Anyway the better man won and won by a massive margin.

Prefight gamesmanship by Fulton's trainer. It's just like when a boxer wants you to change gloves or in this case try to throw off a routine maybe change the way his hands are wrapped and he a little more cautious about throwing harder shots. You don't have to lie and act like Fulton just flew off the handles calling him a B word or tell him get the F outta here. None of that you just have a mental disease that makes you focus on the worse and blanket entire groups based off a group you have a problem with.

Boxing is in a sorry state when two great boxer's take a risk but all the fans can do is bring racial politics into the conversation. Every step boxing takes forward, it takes two steps back, because people want to live vicariously through others or they believe boxing represents some sort of superiority. These ideals belong in the era of the colour line not modern boxing.

Inoue has very quick hands and feet, and the power speaks for itself. He's going to be hard to beat.

That wasn't even competitive

The world is in a sorry state. There is always somebody who will try to make it about race. Not to be racist but it is usually a white person bringing race into everything. Inoue beat Fulton because Inoue was better. Why make it about race.

We are all humans. Let's judge by the content of our character, not the color of our skin.

I give Fulton credit for taking the challenge. Inoue is a generational type talent. I don't see anyone beating him.

I think he would have to go to 135 before he finds a fight where he would be the underdog. Robiesy ramirez will be a challenge but i'd pick inoue. navarratte maybe could be tough at 130?

i guess there are levels to this game as someone once said & fulton is just several levels below where he thought he was LMAO, he can go back to getting judges calls on his collection of undefeated fighters hes facing

[joesaiditstrue]

And here we go ... Inoue wanting the undisputed at 122 before going up to storm the 125 and 130 (far stretch I know) ... He could be 6 Div. champ by the end of next year !

Manny started at 106, I would never put a weight limit on Inoue given his power and elite skill level.

It's a shame that Shakur Stevenson isn't a 126 guy still, or even 130. He's the only guy anywhere around Inoue who I think probably beats him
