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

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

It's so refreshing to see a dominating beat down..giving me those chavez, manny paq, pretty boy floyd and marquez displays.

I didnt expect Fulton to stand outside as much as he did /expected more tying up, smothering and inside fighting. Basically a sloppy fight to disrupt dude.

Even the coli golden boy Crawford picked Fulton

Don't act like you haven't picked wrong before breh, polls don't lie

nah you be doing it sometimes with your heart lol breh

 

[Iceson Beckford]

I saw it as Inoue just neutralizing every strategy they tried to employ

Exactly and this plays into my answer about why I give Fulton his respect

It's very easy to lose your head and become reckless or just quit and stand and take a beating.

He did neither, tried different strategies and ranges but the speed and power was just too much.

The jab and his lateral movement is what I thought would give Fulton an edge. Inoue beat Fulton to the jab everytime and he kept cutting the ring off which was actually the biggest difference maker from what I saw, not the jab or the power, Inoue forced Fulton to stand in one spot cause he kept hawking him down and Fulton was never gonna win a fight like that against Inoue he doesn't have the power or activity for it, similar to what Spence gonna do to Crawford if he tries to repeat his tactics againdt Postol. Inoue and Spence two best fighters in the world of cutting the ring off and making you fight stationary.

Fulton overwhelmed..was it the occasion? Fighting in foreign territory especially non English friendly!
Adds to the performance because he was got from round 1!
Inoue just too special!

I still need to watch the fight but this is why I didn't wanna argue about Inoue with nikkas that never watched him outside of Donaire

He had an answer for everything. I don't think people realize how rare that is.

I was just about to say that

Monster was going to get his but I didn’t expect Fulton to not even be able to get out of the blocks.

Dude’s going to be in mourning the rest of his time overseas and on a long ass flight

Honestly if I was him I would just stay in Japan and soak up in Japanese p*ssy for like a month. They'll prolly treat him like a god out there. They just love fighters win or lose. It'll be good to be admired for a while before heading back home.

boxing twitter is going to be lit today lol

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

Fulton was the only hype job in this fight. All these black boxing channels were hyping him up because he was sleek and had long arms lol. Just because he has those qualities doesn't make him Floyd or Andre Ward or Bud Crawford. There's levels to this.

I mean they prop up every black fighter in a fight against a non black fighter

Personally I don't agree with it but in boxing, a lot of people side with their race and/or countryman

In a higher weight division against top opposition no less

That shyt ain't normal

That jab set the table for Monster bro. It was THE most important punch & tactic of the fight. Cool Boy couldn't do a damn thing about it either. After the 2nd round, I knew it was a matter of time before the right hand was coming down the middle to hurt & stop him.
