Anybody who compares Brandon to Inoue is just looking for an argument. Good domestic win.

No he+snot. He hugs the entire fight, makes it dirty. Figueroa was roibbed in their first fight and the second could have gone either way, they gave it to Fulton even though he was hugging too much just because of his race.

Nah Fulton won the fight clearly. First fight I did have Figueroa winning that but this fight Fulton outworked Figueroa and was alot more acurrate with his punching and was able to box his fight instead the dog fight Figueroa usually likes to have. Kept his distance well and fought at the pace he wanted.

What you guys are forgetting is that 126 is Scoot's natural weight class. He's only had a handful of fights at Super Bantamweight. The customized Timberland footwear would just be icing on the cake. Inoue would be wise to take a tune up at Featherweight before jumping into a rematch with Scoot.

Sorry I just don’t see it

Brandon Figueroa did not throw enough punches, but also in many rounds there was no mustard on those punches. They were arm punches. Something was off with him tonight. Perhaps it was clean hard punches that Fulton was landing in every round with ease. I am not really sure, but he was not quite right.

No such thing as a “domestic win” when a world title is at steak especially when a rematch of what was Dee ed a fight of the year type fight. This wasn’t York Hall at Bethnal Green or the Blue Horizon…

I think he's just taken too many shots over the years. His brother Omar fell off very quickly in his career for the same reason. Omar beat Ricky Burns, Antonio DeMarco, Ghost Guerrero, and John Molina consecutively and then he was just done. Yordenis Ugas beat him 119-107x3, Abel Ramos stopped him, Sergey Lipinets stopped him, and he was retired before his 33rd birthday.

The crowd booing them yesterday isn’t a media narrative. That’s actually what happened.

It’s interesting though because some fans are impossible to please. They’ll complain when a fighter moves too much and now they’re complaining about Fulton beating Figueroa at his own game in a phone booth fight
