    Of all the potential fight scenarios, that was pretty much the worst possible.

    Fulton didn't even win a single rd.

    Didn't even try to go after Inoue.

    Hard to believe this guy had 2 belts.

    Here's the full KO sequence filmed from the stands

    Fulton is better than he looked, was just terribly outclassed by an ATG. It happens.

    Fulton looked scared of Inoue but maybe tgats ATG stuff. Making good fighters look average.

    I guess his stare of death didn't work this time.

    Yes making very good fighters look C level is the sign of greatness

    I picked inoue on points (thought maybe late stoppage), but I didn't expect that! I knew he would put on a show, but expected him to drop a couple of rounds.

    That was flawless

    I honestly dont think it was a demolition. Thoroughly outboxed fulton? Definitely but i thought fulton wasnt ever really at trouble at any point till inoue caught him real good in the 8th

    Fulton felt the bodyshots.

    Yep Inoue swept the cards for me. As expected too fast, too skilled, outboxed him then broke him down for the stunning ko.

    I was of course not surprised Inoue won, I was surprised that Fulton was completely outboxed.

    That didn't surprise me, l expected lnoue's speed, jab and footwork to be too good.

    His foot work is very underrated, his balance, speed of foot and positioning is exceptional. I'd argue only Uysk and Loma have better movement.

    Bingo, I think it was round 4 when Inoue used some impressive footwork and movement to set Fulton up and I thought that was world class footwork, and your right. On the level of Loma and Usyk.

    KO was a think of beauty. Left to the body (brings opponents hands down) massive right to the undefended head, and a huge
    left hook as the other guy goes down. Three punches in less that 3 seconds.

    It's not that Fulton isn't good because he's a skillful fighter, he was just in the ring with a much superior fighter who happens to make everyone look levels below him.

    Due credit to fulton but he also made inoue miss a lot. Not a lot enough tho
