    Out of curiosity what was it that you said to him and what was his response?

    There's nothing wrong with having confidence and wanting to become a future opponent to a P4P fighter while believing in your abilities but to smack talk and shoot down on a well accomplished fighter is not the way to go about it. His initial reaction to Inoue's victory over Tapales on his IG story was pretty nauseating. He was saying how "this man (Inoue) ain't sh/t, I'm gonna beat the f/ck out of him" and was begging to get in the ring with him as if he's done something meaningful.

    Bruce Carrington is another fighter that wants a piece of Inoue.

    Fulton was and still is solid.

    He most assuredly is not another Stephen Fulton................unless you're trying to say something "else"

    I dont give a **** is some guy is brave or confident. Bravery sometimes is like dumbness, is like to a child that play with fire. First of all, you have to earn a match with a star, not crave it just because may you have a strong fan base. Where is he ranked in the superbantamweight ratings? This new generation of instagrammer needs to be humbled, but not by boxer that can give them a lot of money. Thwy should be humbled for free. Also, i think that this Eliah would be smashed by the first 35 superbantamweight boxer in the world

    I said to him he should settle down in how he was talking about Naoya because he may run into some trouble for what he said before he knew it. I also said Elijah was getting ahead of himself but he seems utterly adamant he was up for it. I would've begged to differ if he wasn't so clearly delusional in his confidence. Nothing I would've said would change that man's mind.

    I'm not nuthugging this dude lol, quite the opposite in fact. I admire the confidence in some respect but I told him he was out of line saying Inoue wasn't **** when it's been so clearly established that he's many levels above him. Elijah is around the top 10 so he's not half bad but this talk is ridiculous in fairness.

    Bet they would all settle for a job being Inoue’s sparring partners About as close as they will get to sharing a ring with him

    He’s another “Inoue is nothing” just like Fulton. Take your “else” and shove it.

    True but i don't see that tactic working on Inoue & in general doesn't have the biggest percentage of working in the challengers favor either way.

    I think what he was saying was Stevey was talking all kinds of **** even going far as to accuse Inoue of cheating only to go down hard like a weak branched tree.

    If he really wanted to secure that fight instead of chatting sh*t he would focus on eliminating Goodman & Casimero from the convo by beating them while Inoue is focused on Nery & MJ next
