Comments Thread For: Stephen Fulton: "I Am Amongst The Elite, Disappointed In Myself"

[Smash]

hes downgraded himself on insta from 100 billion to 10 grand

"Not many noticed But it is only now after a defeat I am promoted by the city (my people) after a Loss"

from his instagram, what does he mean by this i wonder

I think this was a battle for "elite" status and Ionue won. Itll be interesting to see if Steph comes back the same. The Figueroa fight was a war that left him wobbly back to his corner on 3 occasions then he takes a 1 sided beating from a Monster. Tough dude.

He should definitely take the rest of the year off and enjoy all Yen he made.

"Fulton desperately wants a do-over. A chance to prove that what took this place in Japan was nothing more then just a bad night at the office."

That's what I wanted to see! Run it back...in Philly!

Lmfao Why? Fulton didn't win a single minute of the fight. There is absolutely ZERO reason to have a rematch.

Being in Philly won't change a goddamn thing except that it'll be a half empty arena.

MOST comments above me is why fighters prefer to take the easy route getting paid big money for trash fights. As soon as you lose to a better fighter in a bout that wasn’t necessary, you’re pretty much a “bum”.

Fulton dared to be great by taking on an absolute Monster. He lost. Sometimes we fail when we shoot for the stars. He has my respect. And he may still be elite. He’s just not as good as Inoue, who is likely an all time great.

The amount I've seen people post this, you'd think that Fulton jumped a divison and went straight for Inoue. Fighting in another country isn't "daring to be great" it's literally what most fighters do of their careers.

I agree with Fulton as far as his status, he is still elite but he went up against a future HOF, possibly an all time great if he keeps doing what hes doing

Lol these comments are crazy. Never understood why people that never put on gloves talk the most shiet. There’s no shame in losing this fight. Dared to be great and lost to a special fighter. Fulton is still a great fighter and secured a BIG payday for his troubles. Respect.

there's levels to this!!

“Disappointed in myself because I am better than that,” explained Fulton on Instagram. “It wasn’t my night.”

Fulton is a slick boxer but lacks the killer punch.

He got paid elite money so *** it lol. That’s all that really matters.
