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.
Footwork and positioning for Spence. Using his upper body to force you where he wants you to be. Spence isn't as light on his feet as Inoue, but he's physically strong as fukk(he got that football strength) and has long legs so he has a long stride. What he did to force Porter off his backfoot into a brawl and how he turned Ugas into a stationary target was beautiful. I have yet to see someone stay away, he will eventually find you and force you to stand your ground and fight.

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 .

Winning maybe one round while running around the ring and focusing only on defense was fighting scared..

Not jabbing is fighting scared brehs, he found out he was out gunned with power and speed and that put him into survival mode and he didn’t know what to do. Even when he was on the front foot he was scared to throw because Inoue was faster than him.

Fulton will be back.

This ain't even 5 years ago: elite fighters are back to fighting elite fighters so people aren't having perfect records anymore.

Plus dude can go up in weight, I can actually see him get into the 130-135 mix.

I like how there's no "toxic" loss culture around this fight either. Nobody calling dude trash rather they're just more shocked by how good Inoue is.

Again, no shame in losing to Inoue. If anything this gave dude a big chance to make a notable name for himself.

yea all he has to do is just get back in the ring and keep it pushing and get W's and this loss will be a blip on the radar. No shame in getting stopped by one of GOAT's in that weight class :yeshrug:

nah we not going to do that. That fight could of went for another 20 rounds and the outcome was gonna be the same; Fulton getting stopped. Anyone with a semblance of a trained boxing eye could see Fulton wasn't built for this after the first few rounds. The fight wasn't remotely competitive. Fulton realized early he ain't have nathan to keep Monster off him

He was not as aggressive as he normally is. Yes we know he's defensively responsible and what not, but outside of a few here and there's, IMO, he wasn't trying to do anything to show he was the bigger man with the longer reach and was not showing his slickness. There's a difference in being slick and being on your bike and he was on his bike more times than not.
