Stephen Fulton Ducked Naoya Inoue—Running To 126!

As I said, no one ever asks how Fulton would deal with Inoue.

 

The Fulton fight never worried me at all and I actually believe that Inoue would make quick and easy work of him. Far slower and lesser offensive fighters have gotten to Fulton — particularly his body (Roman and B-Figs). And as you said, Inoue is very light and very quick on his feet. He closes distance effortlessly and he's very explosive.

If I were a fighter, I'd rather fight Fulton than Inoue 24/7/365.

I like Fulton a lot. I met him at Turning Stone Casino when I went to see Provodnikov-Molina. Dude is a class act. Humble, friendly, and with a really good head on his shoulders. He's the kinda guy that could be anyone's best friend. Just a real ass dude. But Inoue my guy and I want to see him become 2X undisputed and EVERYTHING was lined up.

Inoue beats Butler, moves up as he emphatically stated he would do, and becomes mandatory.

MJ is still out with an injured hand making Inoue-Fulton a VERY REAL possibility for Spring 2023.

Fulton's been talking about fighting Inoue for years. As recently as July, he said he'd be willing to go to Japan for that fight. When a smaller guy is moving up and also happens to be the P4P #1, 2, or 3, and represents a massive legacy fight, you stay put and you put in a little extra work so camp is less about weight loss. That's if it was actually about making weight because I'm 100% sure that if MJ came out and was ready to fight, he'd fight MJ at 122 in early 2023.

And yeah, I got Inoue stopping Fulton. Fulton's slick, but he's not elite slick. An Inoue fight might have proven that he is elite slick. Roman, Leo, and B-Figs found him enough. It's impossible to imagine that Fulton can stay away all night. And Fulton doesn't have to worry about one or two things. Inoue's entire arsenal has produced highlight reel KOs and KDs with both hands, to the body and head, going forward, and fading back. Then he gotta worry about the elite technical skill, accuracy, iron jaw, and Inoue's explosive speed in both punching and closing the distance.

After you meet someone, it's different. I would take zero pleasure in Fulton getting smoked by Inoue. But it's clear as day that's a blatant duck. Hopefully Fulton comes back down to 122, but I seriously doubt it.

Better and harder fight for Inoue. MJ got sick power and is a slugger boxer. Fulton got no power and his body is more open than a freshman college chick at her first frat party. Lopez, Figs, and Roman was molesting that ish all night. Lopez even hurt Fulton multiple times. Inoue knocks out Fulton in 6 and that's if Fulton goes on the run. EASY WORK.
