    I see Fulton frustrating Inoue, with movement and potshots. It won't be easy, but I think Fulton will shock alot of people with his performance.

    Seriously though, Fulton looked terrible against and struggled mightily against Leo, Khegai and Figueroa. Was rocked several times by all three and should've lost to Figs. Inoue is by far the heavier handed fighter, cuts the ring off far more effectively, is technically superior to all three and technically superior to Fulton as well. So don't get your hopes up.

    I think Fulton is big enough and talented enough to make it count against Inoue. If Inoue gets frustrated with what Fulton is doing in the ring, what happens then? Fulton isn't going to be as easy as people are making it out to be.

    He probably won't. In all likelihood Fulton will keep his hands at hope like Butler, fearing what's coming back at him and fight to survive. If Fulton does manage to frustrate Inoue, Inoue will adjust just like he did against Donaire, he has a very high ring IQ and will abandon a failing strategy relatively quickly and find a new one.

    Each fight is different, Fulton will be the toughest fight of his career by a long mile.

    Maybe, or... maybe not. Of all of his opponents, Inoue is the most similar to, but also far better in every possible way than Melian. I have no doubt the fight will look similar, which after 6 rounds, will start taking its toll on Fulton.

    And he hasn't fought a similar style since then to prepare himself.

    You know I'm not an idiot when it comes to assessing fights, and I'm not sure how much Inoue you've seen. But I implore you to check out as much footage as you can find on him, and you'll see exactly what I'm seeing.

    I'm as sure about Inoue winning as I am Crawford.

    I wouldn't be all that surprised if he did.

    Why did this thread turn into a Fulton vs Inoue thread all of a sudden? :thinking:

    They needcto either pay him or give him a backup fight, especially with all of these Ortis issues
