If Fulton can keep Inoue on the edge of his jab, and clinch when his back touches the ropes, there's a chance he could pull of an upset. Jabbing and spoiling for twelve rounds against Inoue, though is a tall order to say the least. I'm gonna put a small bet on Fulton by decision. Wouldn't be surprised if Inoue ends up sleeping him, but based on the odds back Fulton.

I hear you. No one wants to see that, but it's probably his best chance of winning. Fulton can't crack an egg so toe to toe with Inoue is suicide.

Fulton's elite traits is his pressure fighting, volume, and his stamina...bruh can fight and win a hard 12 without an issue and dish out a pretty cumulative beating..he sent angelo leo to the hospital after their fight...which is a pretty good substitute for one punch power lol...but yeah figueroa showed me his chin may not hold up to monster's power if he gets cracked or conversely monster might not bring up his power and fulton being the naturally bigger man might be able to stand up to it...who knows...but yeah a strategy of monster tagging someone over and over in a toe to toe exchange is not a good strategy to utilize lol

I voted for Fulton and think he has a solid chance if he can stick to his game plan.

The only thing concerning is he's been rocked before by weaker fighters. Absolutely cannot afford to get caught like that next month, but there's a chance that Inoue's power won't scale up.

Fulton may not be a very strong puncher, but I think that Donaire fight may have brought down Inoue's punch resistance - you don't go through a fight like that for free.

He wiped Donaire out in two rounds breh. It clearly didnt affect him.
