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

[Roid Jones]

Fulton like 'this fool is trying mess up my bag '

 

[Roid Jones]

Chess move.

Bold, to shame someone like that (dishonest behaviour) in Japan is a pretty big deal, especially a nationally revered warrior that is adulated for their bravery and application to taking on a ‘challenge’.

In Japan, this idea of ‘accepting the challenge, being brave’ etc, it’s everything.

Fulton team no dummies, pretty clever to time it like this.

Fulton gonna get hands really put on him now, this is a dumb move by his coach

 

[BlackMajik]

Well damn

slandering people's name is a chess move? The handwraps are perfectly legal in Japan. Also legal in Nevada. Where's he's fought multiple occasions. And after he beats Fulton's ass, the people in Japan aren't gonna care about silly ass handwraps. He'll still be treated like a king while Fulton will be an afterthought in America.

Yeah it went over your head. You’re viewing it from the perspective of an American, or a fanboy.

It’s okay, we all love Naoya.

Any chance to get an edge. Try to embarrass a proud, albeit arrogant champion Japanese man, in his own country. That’s the aim here.

Do I think it will work? Nah. Do I see the angle they’ve taken? Ofcourse.

 

[Megadeus]

Cool Boy getting the job done. Y'all could keep thinking hes Paul Butler if you want to.

Payday comes early this week

Now that I think about it, this is a good bit of controversy to gain attention for their fight.
Since Inoue doesn't speak English they obviously aint gonna trash talk each other so this is what you get instead. I bet It didn't even cross Fulton's mind to actually pull out of the fight lol.

Fulton the bigger man!

 

[Adonis]

I want Fulton to win but I think Inoue will beat him.

 

[spencerforhire]

Fulton's a dead man. Last thing you ever wanna do is piss off Inoue before a fight.

 

[klutch2381]

Fight depends on if Inoue’s power will be as destructive at 122. If he still has h-bombs at this weight… Fulton is done. I can’t see a path to victory for Fulton is the power is still that crippling. If it’s diminished somewhat, I think it’s a tossup.

I can't tell if Fulton is alot bigger than Inoue or if its just the shyt he had on at the presser

He looks a lot bigger in the weigh in.

 

[spencerforhire]

Fulton the bigger man!

LOL that's what they always say before they get into the ring with Inoue.
