    So, I just watched the fight..

    Fulton literally thought the round was over and started walking to his corner, after he was knocked down. The referee failed miserably to stop this fight..

    Great victory for Inoue; scary moment for Fulton.

      Definitely a man up for conversation of generational goats. Very few of us fans and even fewer analysts expect this fight to go the way it did. Kid lives up to his name.

        That’s some scary type of hate right there. I really feel for people with a lot of melanin on their skin.
        Ignorant people bro. I’ll never understand the need to root one way or another because of skin, religion, or whatever. These men are all warriors and deserve equal levels of respect. Men that dedicate themselves to the pursuit of excellence while mouth breathers with no life bash them.

            Just re-watched the fight. Inoue patient and selective with that right after the left jab to the body, really good stuff.

            Tapales shouldn't be much of a problem for him, Inoue is going to clean up at 122 in double quick time.

              all the race talk, the better man just won, gee wizz, 2 of the best fought which is rare and all people can talk about is race, yes certain blacks will want black fighters to win, some will be unbalanced, that happens with all races at some point. who gives a fk? great win and props to fulton he just didnt have enough but still has a future

                Ditto Re: Fulton. Hope he's ok.

                Big props to Inoue, a fantastic display and,vto be able to do that to a fighter like Fulton, he is very very obviously the real deal.

                Kudos to both guys for making this fight happen.

                  Where’s Lance98 at? He said Inoue was an over-hyped midget. Go get your shine box Lance. You need to realize your shortcomings before you can do anything to fix them.

                    Man that was crazy impressive. The finish was perfect too .

                    Glad the ref let Fulton get buckled again to remove any bs about bad stoppage ect like we are used to in the uk

                    great fight
