7/25 ESPN+: Stephen Fulton vs Naoya Monster Inoue (WBC/WBO Super Bantamweight Titles)

Terrible take. With that said Fulton has a “Boxers” chance of winning. If he keeps his distance, he can jab and counter punch his way to victory. But if he’s going to win a decision it has to be a dominant performance. If this fight turns out like a Haney vs Lomo where Fulton takes rounds in the first half of the fight but gets dominated the second half, Fulton will not be able to pull out a controversial win in Japan. That decision will go to Inoue
breh, it's the opposing trainers and the commissioners job to inspect the gloves and handwraps before they even step inside the ring. The fact there making something so small into a huge deal already tells me there's already a cloud of doubt in Fulton's camp.
They scared as fukk that Fulton is going to get knocked out. A Bad Knock out to a smaller man could ruin Fultons career since he plans on moving up to 126.
NZA
LOL
well, fulton is doing his part to sell the fight. i think more americans will watch because of the controversy. i dont think it matters if monster is "angry", he's probably going to knock fulton out regardless...but if fulton does manage to get this win, it's good that he made people watch, even if it's a hate-watch.
I like the confidence but its wild he saying he done fought a bunch of Inoue's in the ammys

I'm riding with Fulton on points. Let's go!
I'm looking forward to this more than the other fight 
Originally I was confident of Monster by KO, but the closer the fight gets the less sure I am. Fulton by decision in a war is something I can see happening.
Fulton has the right offensive skillset to give Monster crazy problems, but if Donaire's power and a broken orbital couldn't break Inoue down and keep him from exchanging, how will Fulton? It will end up an all-out war in the later rounds IMO. Fulton will have to take it to Inoue and not afford him any time and space in his preferred range at all. Keep it up close and personal on the inside when Inoue will be looking for those exchanges mid-range.
I've got Monster in a classic.

I think Monster moving up another weight class in tandem with Fulton's footwork could spell for some disastrous results for Inoue.
I'm imagining Fulton winning by using his strong lateral movement, and successfully clinching the smaller man when he's cornered or finds himself on the ropes.

Not a bad comparison at all. Carr was a good fighter that got beat by the great fighters of his era. He had Tito down early but he couldn't sustain it. I think Cool Boy is defnitely gonna have to get his respect & early or else Monster will steam roll him. I can see Fulton getting on the inside & mauling him like Ward to make him uncomfortable. But Fulton is definitely better than Carr
Main event ring walks is 8am EST
They want Inoue to win so they can act like he's #1 p4p no matter who wins with Spence and Crawford
