    Out jabbed Fulton.

    Out slicked Fulton.

    Boxed the **** out of Fulton before turning on jets with a crispy right hand.

    I'm glad you posted @JOKER, was worried you might be going overboard in celebrating. Possibly inhaling a mound of cocaine like Tony Montana and getting blown by a prostitute while watching that KO on loop....

    Yeah his skills are impressive. Everyone fixates on the power, but as we saw out jabbed, out maneuvered and dissected Fultons defence and then a beautiful counter right and left hook to drop him and his finishing skills were as ruthless as ever.

    Body jab was the first punch he threw. I think following it up with right he only did 4 times while fight and it was finishing sequence the last time.

    His punch selection is extraordinary and it looks effortless

    Fulton is a very good defensive fighter, don't forget that

    I hate to go overboard, but he is one of the best I have seen, certainly as far as a complete boxer

    Speed
    Power
    Chin
    Iq
    Footwork
    Timing
    Punch selection
    Etc
    Etc

    Was there ever a doubt about this one? Not to me and I usually can't pick a winner to save my life. Best fighter in the world, The Monster!

    I wasn't the only one surprised at how Inoue outboxed him, Fulton seemed stunned and confused by it also and he had no answers for it.
    His ability to adapt appeared to be zero too. Not to take away from Inoue's great performance but I'm wondering did I rate Fulton a little too highly?

    He got hit clean and flush too often by Fulton to be considered a master boxer.

    Fulton was shell shocked. He realized very quickly that the * ahem * hype was real.

    fulton did himself a disservice by having such a wide stance.
