He has to move up to 126 the fight wasn't close enough to warrant a rematch. If he has a rematch clause I doubt he'll even use it.
They won't fight again. This was decisive no need to see it again. If inoue moves up I'd like to see him fight fig.
Fulton may not get a belt. Fig i think has a belt there and he went life and death with him at 122. Maybe loma can shrink his way down to 126 and fight inoue.
I don't think Fulton will win a belt, and even if he does he won't fight Inoue again. Actually I think Figs might stop him because he will benefit more from the move up than Fulton will. If you're featherfisted and chased out of a division you can still make, that's rough.
There's life after Saitama - Taguchi, Noni, Moloney picked up four world titles after One Punch Man was done with them, Donaire and Rodriguez are set to pick up two more, Fulton is young and clearly has another in him. Shows how live Inoue's competition was. It's not like he retired oldies.
He just got Nagasakied. Take some time off, maybe move up a weight class. Long flight home for Fred and his team.
He couldn't compete with Inoue but nobody on those weight classes can. Fulton is still a great fighter and still the second best in the division. He needs a confidence boost type of fight and then maybe move up to 126 and try and win a belt there I think he can do it. It's not the last time we gonna hear about Fulton at least I hope not.
Typical behavior from those guys. Fulton is done. He was beaten down and humiliated. He had absolutely nothing for Inoue and he was supposedly the best at 122.
I posted this elsewhere, not to take anything away from Inoue he looked fantastic, but Fulton had no answers whatsoever after he started to be outboxed. He attempted to be a little more aggressive mid fight but I didn't have him winning a round, his height ,reach and size advantages were non existent and he did no infighting either. He showed zero adaptability during the fight to what Inoue was doing. I may have rated him a little too highly, not that he isn't good. Time will tell where he goes from here but I don't like his chances at ALL at 126 and rematching Inoue at 122 is as crazy as Patterson getting another shot at Liston.
He should face Murodjon Akhmadaliev. Both guys that were seen as the top guys of that division a year back but now coming off a loss. I think it would still be a great fight.
