    I just watched the fight on the Sky Satellite box and what is so impressive about Inoue is that he stands in perfect balance every time he punch. His foodwork is really good and he makes no mistakes. A boxer we all have to enjoy and appreciate.

    Good call about his balance. Best I have seen since Rigo.

    That's what I'm most impressed with. He moves around in a fantastic way. What a pleasure to watch such a skilled boxer !

    I can see his end game being at 130 as he cleans out 122 and 126.

    Inoue v Lara at 126 would be fun to watch as a tune up.

    Just watched the fight after avoiding the result. This Inoue MoFo is one of the most complete fighters I have seen in many years. His power, piston jab, speed, accuracy and balance is scary as fcuk.

    Fulton was completely outboxed and overpowered and I barely had him winning a minute of any round.

    After he gets these other 2 belts, let’s move this dude up to feather against Robeisy Ramirez and/or Lopez.

    if he cleans those guys up, we could be looking at a generational super talent.

    Saw him and Josh Taylor the Hydro in the WBSS, a terrific event. A bonus was sitting amongst Japanese supporters. Future victim, Butler, was on the undercard.
    He really is a joy to watch, Reputedly a slow starter, he had Fulton ultra wary, within a minute, no wonder, with those pile driving left jabs to the belly, softening him up.
    Great to hear a proper ring announcer and an immaculately sporting audience.
    Encouraging that, real quality crops up like this, included in the monthly subscription.

    Lennon was as good as ever on the mic. The ring walks were good but straight to the point. The Japanese fans applauding the American anthem and then applauding Fulton out of the ring was a touch of class.

    I’d love to go to Tokyo and throwing in some world class boxing would top it off.

    You see them cleaning up after themselves at the world cup
    Class
    That's why I used to hang my Japan flag proud

    Inoue v Hamed would have been a fun fantasy fight :).

    Definitely but I think Inoue would stop him, by the later rounds Hamed would be all marked up and all over the place.

    Inoue would smash that fundamentally flawed clown all over the ring. There's levels to boxing.
