Stephen Fulton vs. Naoya Inoue | ESPN - July 25, 2023

[Fightdoctor]

Monster's only competition at 126 would be Robeisy Ramirez. He was on the undercard as an audition. His size and skills would make it a 50/50 fight in my eyes.

[TheLeprechaun]

Very good performance. I have to give him credit. Extremely talented fighter.

[Finkel]

Good cards, this is why it is important for officials not to be from either fighter's home nation. If a homogeneous country like Japan can manage it, why can't the U.S.A.?

Though I'd like to point out that the fight didn't take place in Yokohama, Japan.

[DrDuke]

Fulton was no joke. Inoue is a monster, probably #1 p4p now, but Crawford will take that spot in a few days.

[Ruthless-RKO]

4-20

I read that’s Al’s record against TR boxers.

No wonder he likes in-house fights.

[Thomastearns]

Lost a bundle on Fulton and I don't even mind-Inoue is true greatness. He beats Wilfredo Gomez at 122 and only Eder Jofre is on a par at 118.

That wasn't an easy fight to predict.

The real shocker was the way Fulton got outboxed.

I don't think anyone expected that.

[BroughtonRulesRefuge]

A simple "I have never stacked gloves and won't do it as is the rules and I expect the same from my opponents" would make this a non issue. At the moment it's unclear if he's been stacking. I'm sure it won't happen in this fight anyway thanks to publicity. I hope it hasnt happened and is a publicity stunt by Fulton but it screams of the pac needle excuses at the moment.

- Soft Viagra Abusing Boys should be neutered from screaming about Men in boxing.

Don’t you have a knitting circle to spread your leper gossip?

[CMCanavessi]

Why can't I score the bout on boxrec? Anyone else unable to do that?

There will be an error code if you try to give Fulton more then one round. That might be the reason in your case.

I scored it 7-0 and I would score it 8-0 if that was possible.

[oogiebe]

How this guy not the top P4P fighter in the world is beyond me.

[Evander]

Clear and clean win for Inoue.
Inoue was solid at the weight, his jab was scoring points and he was more dominant on the outside.
There was a brief period around the 3rd that Fulton started to get into it, but as time progressed his punch strength and accuracy came up short on him.
Inoue was delibrate in his punch placement and scored off those shots, he paced himself well and has a kick on his punch even moving up in weight.
Fulton was done by about the 6th, he just couldn't put himself in the danger zone long enough without getting clipped.
Fight was good, Inoue will have gained some popularity off of that and deservedly so.
