They had Fulton believing that without Inoue's usual hand wraps, Inoue would be without power. Then when Fulton got in the ring, it was on his mind the whole time — is it real? That kinda hurt. Maybe? Yeah, that didn't hurt, oh wait... Oh my god. It's REAL! It's really REEEEEAAAAAAL!!!
He kept a good poker face and tried to play it off like he could handle it, but his body langauge told a different story. he was put off balance awkwardly several times. And when his back hit the ropes he became very rattled.
They should have just accepted that the lethal power was real and all natural. THEN prepare for that.
I also think that Fulton's trainer wasn't on the same page with Fulton himself. Because during the press conference Fulton didn't seem to be on board with the whole not fighting unless you do your wraps our way. Hindsight 20/20 but I bet Fulton's trainer feels like he created a destraction for his fighter by bringing up the handwraps and he may have awakened a Monster in the process.
That's it,,rattled. I almost thought he froze but rattled is a better description. I didn't see that coming either.
A new needs a trailer like Derek James or Boise in it to bring out the best in him power for pound taking resume out the equation Fulton is an extremely talented fighter with tremendous skill what he needs is a better coaching staff
Ultimately Fulton just wasn’t and isn’t good enough, tired of hearing so many excuses…oh its the ref, the trainer, the promoter, the ring size, the hand wrap, the father, the sister-in-law, the sister-in-laws sexy mothers wife’s aunt.
Fulton's Team got him messed up. They gave him a false security blanket with the hand wrap thing. We took away them stacks! He can't hurt you now, champ!
