    Looks like Inoue and Fulton have something to say to each other via Twitter. Fulton basically saying on Twitter “Don’t get involved with Inoue wearing Reyes.”
    Inoue’s response “Please wait. The result is the same no matter which glove you wear.”
    “Very soon, we will see.”
    Next big fight to look forward to, really hoping by the end of this year they finally make it happen once Inoue beats Butler. I get the feeling things are gonna start getting heated, which makes for a very exciting build up.

    Not out of the realm of possibility. I personally see Inoue winning. We shall see.

    Should be a great fight. Good to see it going in that direction.

    But, I suspect Inoue didn't write that. Japanese PR firms are big on control when it comes to anything put out into the public.

    Though I guess he could have used Google Translate

    Pissing Inoue off is um, a bad idea.

    Fulton doesn’t come off as afraid so I’m loving every bit of this especially if this leads to the fight. Nothing wrong with building up anticipation for a fight between 2 ambitious unified champions.

    Fulton and Figueroa should run it back first.

    Oh, of course. But Inoue is already a very mean dude in the ring. Fulton better be ready for war. If he tries to fight Inoue close, Inoue will punish him with those ultra quick brain scrambling hooks.

    That might have been Figueroa last fight at that weight. He was huge during that fight and had weight issues in the past..

    Hey it could go the opposite way also.. Inoue might get so worked up that he doesn’t perform in his usual manner..

    Sadly this is likely, especially since most fighters nowadays only fight twice a year max, same will apply with Inoue unfortunately.

    I suppose it could, but Inoue has laser focus. If Inoue can stay focused and composed w/ a shattered eye socket from the second round, I doubt pre-fight antics can throw him off his game. Also, Emmanuel Rodriguez's trainer or whatever shoved Inoue's dad days before the fight and Inoue showed no emotion. He proceeded to surgically take Rodriguez apart on fight night.

    Either way, Fulton's 0 is on borrowed time.

    I can definitely see Inoue going in there and crushing Fulton but as I said I can see Fulton beating Inoue with a very physical inside approach.. Either way I know these guys will fight each other and I’m ready for it

    I don’t see how it’s a possibility considering PBC’s motto. A joint PPV?
