Fulton just showed up but Foster showed up to win. Fulton underestimated O’Shaquie.

He didn’t put in the proper and necessary work in the gym for this fight. He was unprepared.

He did not do so because he didn’t respect O’Shaquie Foster as a worthy opponent. Which was also the reason why he lost.

Cool Boy did a video interview with the cast of "It Is What It Is," where he said he always stays at home during camp, and admitted that he loved food, and hated making weight! He looked at least 155-160 in the interview! I know it's hard to change after having so much success, but it's time to change! Time for real camps away from the Wife & Family, and it's time for a nutritionist!

I think Fulton hinted in an interview he goes up to 180 lbs

Fulton got exposed.. again! Beating an overhyped Figueroa did nothing to convince us he has/had the goods.

Fulton was never anything super special. Not sure where people were riding him from. When Inoue flattened him, it only confirmed this. I had already written him off prior to Inoue wiping him out. This just further proves he's nothing special.

Fulton was always overrated. Don't get me wrong he a solid fighter who can compete on the lower world class level especially if he figts uneducated brawlers.

Foster is a real talent with the right kind of drive and this was a mismatch from the get go. Fulton can be his best version ever and he will always lose against high level boxers, he is to one dimensional. He looks a million dollar against brawlers but he looks lost against fighters who can box.

Few things I would like to share:

1. O'Shaquie may have won the first fight again Robinson but he lost the rematch so they are rightfully 1-1 against one another.

2. Fulton started to believe his own hype again but Fulton is a well schooled boxer/puncher but has no quality that really stands out.

3. When you move up in weight, you better have some type of standout ability to make up for the size difference. Inoue is explosive, quick, and powerful. That's why he was able to move up and abuse Fulton the way he did.

4. It's no surprise that the bigger boxer was able to dominate the smaller boxer when the smaller fighter brought nothing else to the table.

5. Fulton assumption about O'Shaquie is correct, once O'Shaquie faces an top 25 pfp talent, he'll be whitewashed. Fulton just isn't that elite talent.

Why jump all the way to 130 when there's the Angelo Leo rematch and Ball fight at 126 to unify? I don't mention Espinoza because no one at 126 right now is beating him.
