I think he meant donaire has power and he wants to see him fight another one like him since it was a tough fight. Thing is he was undisputed in the lower division. Completely cleaned it out. I don't see anyone that beats him here. Brandon Figueroa may give some issues but he susceptible to bodyshots. Idk what weight is his ceiling he 30 so idk

Oh that would make more sense. I think he cleans out 122-126 with ease :hubie: after that who knows.

Based on his crazy amateur record years ago I would have said robeisy has a legit chance. But Inoue is special :hubie:

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.
And they not only do it with good footwork but more importantly they do it with punching. Inoue uses the looping right hand almost as a throwaway to keep you in place for more punches while Spence used those body and hip shots to do it. Saturday is going to be fun because I think Crawford will try and use similar style to porter and spin Spence instead of letting him build up steam.

If you think you're lonely now, ohhh girl...
Fulton fought scared ? :mjtf:

The reason why he got knocked out was because he abandoned the back foot,standing in mid-range shyt and it actually led to him winning a round ,landing his best shots BUT getting knocked the fukk out .

The way y’all slander nikkas because a fight ain’t go the way you expect is wack as hell .

The hell happened to this forum .

Boxing fans are trash, man. Japanese fans might be cool, but boxing fans in this hemisphere are overwhelmingly terrible. They only see what they want to see. Fulton stood right in front of that man the majority of the fight. How else are you getting jabbed to the fukking body repeatedly? You have to be in front of your opponent for that shot to land consistently. Fulton just ran into a better fighter. He didn’t fight scared. Paul Butler fought scared. Nonito and Fulton both stood right in front of dude, but he’s gotten even better/sharper since the first Doniare fight.

Fulton in the post fight saying nothing from Inoue surprised him and the fight playing out as it did was all on him but I don't know, I don't think he was expecting that type of speed and that jab from Inoue. You could tell that the speed had him handcuffed from the jump because he didn't want to get countered.

A lot of Youtube boxing channels are a joke, really. Too much fanboy bullshyt and not enough rational analysis. A lot of of these guys realize the void that exists in boxing on Youtube and pander to casuals. They don't actually have any substance, just nationalistic shyt that they know will draw people.
ive seen reasonable, rational casuals start watching those channels and after about a year they become completely useless in a productive conversation about boxing whenever there is a promotional company or nationality they just dont like involved. they actually make casuals worse
