    People saying that Fulton is going to win on slickness and size

    That when you keep moving up in weight you're going to come unstuck eventually

    The later is indeed very true

    But what happens when Inoue pops Fulton on his whiskers with that Kanagawa power?

    Sure Fulton's been hit on the whiskers by 122 pounders but has he hit by anyone who possesses that ninja speed and precision, that Kanagawa power, and has that samurai warrior spirit?

    What happens if Inoue detonates on his mandible section and then goes full Takeshi on his ass while he's hurt and his legs are dancing to two different genres of music at the same time?

    These are the KO percentages of Fulton's opponents

    KO %
    KO %
    KO %
    KO 14%
    KO 26%
    KO 11%
    KO 37%
    KO 44%
    KO 70% << totally deceptive. 8 wins, 7 KOs, all bums
    KO 34%
    KO 55%
    KO 28%
    KO 48%
    KO 30%
    KO 50%
    KO 36%
    KO 45%
    KO 52%
    KO 40%
    KO 72%
    KO 29%

    The highest belongs to Brandon Figueroa who was a big 122 pounder and hard puncher but he's a combination puncher with big man slower power, not a ninja speed and precision assassin with lethal one punch Kanagawa power

    My fear is that Fulton somehow survives and Inoue gets robbed on the cards.

    Murata was well robbed in Japan against N'Dam.

    I hear a lot of people talking about how Fulton has to dominate to get a decision in Japan. Don’t get why people comment on **** they don’t know about. Not all countries rob the away fighters.

    Fulton being confident about his chances. Seems like he's underestimating Inoue's skills.

    “I feel like I’m just gonna show swag in this fight, show style, show class,” Fulton told Custer during a recent episode of his “Last Stand Podcast,” which is available on YouTube. “I feel like I’m gonna out-class him. I feel like the power’s not gonna matter to me. The power may matter to the fans, because they lookin’ at the records. But who have he fought of my significance, of my style? Who has he fought? We seen everyone comes forward to him and try and dog him out, and then get hit with some crazy shots. You never seen someone [against Inoue] who can mix it up like me. I have a style for every fighter. And it shows."

    "Power don’t just win fights,” Fulton said. “I’m smart. How you think I got here? My skills, my mindset, my speed, my slickness. And guess what? Everybody say I don’t got power until they get in there, and these guys is not fighting everybody how they used to fight these guys. So, I feel like you can’t speak on power when everyone wear them eight-ounce gloves, everyone has power. You feel every punch.””

    Volume is scored over accuracy sometimes. Not saying I necessarily would have in this case, but I can rationalize it.

    Fulton definitely better than Buttler or Mcdonalds. But he does share one trait the ukians have lack of power.So he has to rely on his chin and slickity to offset the power deficit.But based on the few samples Fultz hasn’t shown any Philly shell defense or cat like reflexes.Maybe he will bring his bag if tricks for this fight?

    There’s no way you can rationalize Ndam beating Murata

    Number one fight Im looking forward to so far in 2023.

    Can't wait for this one. Excellent matchup and so much respect to these two, especially in today's boxing climate of ducking and protecting.

    War inoue.

    Don’t get it twisted. Inoue exemplifies the term sweet science as well. Just because he keeps knocking out fools doesn’t mean he’s not exhibiting the scientific side of boxing. Monster has shown the artistic beauty in boxing in brutal fashion.

    It’s gonna be a competitive fight for both of them.
