Thanks for the video Rummy. P4p this fight isn't even close. Inoue is levels above Fulton obviously. I do think that if Fulton doesnt fight the proper fight, which Im not sure hes capable of, Inoue should be dynamic enough to get the W, especially at home. And honestly he may just win even if Fulton fights the proper fight. Fulton needs to press forward behind a high guard, make Inoue feel his size and strength, while helping to smother Inoues power. Then it gets interesting. If he tries boxing with Inoue then the result is a foregone conclusion. I think Fultons lack of elite physical talent may cost him here. Fulton is a solid boxer, but not special in any one thing, let alone multiple things like the elite Inoue. That all being said, the guy is big, in his prime, supremely confident and up for this fight. When rising through weight classes, at some point the size difference will result in the solid fighters beating the special ones. I've made a couple parlays with Fulton in them because I think he has a genuine chance here and the odds are good to add as a small hail mary bet, but upon looking closer at the matchup and Fulton in particular, I am starting to doubt he's talented enough to get the job done. I think Inoue should win a decision here in a 9-3 type fight. But if Fulton is smart enough to pressure Inoue, it can get interesting. Hope Inoue does well as he's one of the things bringing respectability, credibility and nobility to this sport in this day and age. War Inoue.
One of your best videos, Rummy. I think Fulton's size will make it difficult for the Monster to overwhelm him. I see Fulton out boxing Inoue, but losing a decision. Won't be a Hughes-Kambozo level decision but a home town victory nonetheless.
Honestly I think it will depend a bit on how he fights. If he tries boxing from the outside I wouldn't be completely shocked if he manages to stop him. If Fulton fights properly though I do think his size strength and relative youth should see him make it the distance. Well see though.
This is going to be an interesting one to watch tomorrow. Fulton must be confident to go to Japan for this fight.
He's getting that bag. His biggest paycheck to date and barring a rematch, the most money he'll ever see.
Finally we agreed.... kind of, I had Inoue by KO. You should make a habit of it to keep this roll going. I have a feeling you're going to be 2-0 next weekend, because Bud's going to tap and then spark that ass.
Well.. Fulton literally had no chance. But damn that was a crazy showing from Inoue, making the best current 122 guy look like a novice. Inoue is a serious talent.
Your analysis of Inoue's footwork was spot on and prophetic, I thought he outmaneuvered Fulton from the get go and I was surprised how Inoue totally outboxed him. By the 4th round I knew my bet that the fight would go past 10 was shot, Fulton had no clue and it was a matter of time.
I'm technically 5-1 this year, with 3 pending (soon to be 4 or 5 pending). The one I officially got wrong was Joyce-Zhang. But I'm sure there are more incorrect picks ahead sooner or later.
