Great performance. Still amazed the odds in Inoue KO were evens.... oh well, made a few quid. Really brilliant fighter and fantastic finish. Guys like Inoue are my favourite to watch, the punch technique is just outstanding.

Inoue is a Monster, Terminator, Destroyer. A classical shift of the levels to catch Fulton and a great display of the killer instinct to finish the job.

Yep. The instinct, fluidity and accuracy of that left hook was just something else :bow:

Even at top level we see guys smothering their own work as they try get the stoppage, or resort to pushing the opponent down.

Inoue perfectly sealed it with the sweet left hook to put Fulton down, then the barrage and another good crack to finish it .. perfect.

It's impossible to see anybody at the nearest weights, who can beat the Monster.

Huge respect to Fulton, a fighter who actually stepped up and tried to beat the best around. He was throwing bombs in the round before he got flattened. I think he won the seventh on all cards.

It’s fighters like him who give us great fights, occasions like this one, which will be remembered for a long time.

No coming just to last the distance, or ducking out of big fights with a variety of f**king endless excuses.
He stepped up, tried everything possible and went out of his shield. I hope he comes back and gets another world title shot because he belongs right up there.

I agree - all credit to Fulton for taking the fight and actually trying to land punches rather than run. Wonderful performance from Inoue - the economy of movement, level of relaxation, and judgment of range were something to behold. The kind of thing that makes me remember how fabulous boxing can be.

4-20

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

No wonder he likes in-house fights

I loved how Inoue had him totally intimidated, even in the first round, before he had landed any real power shots, just by the way he maintained distance and reacted to little moves and feints. I swear to god Fulton lost all confidence before he'd even eaten a power shot, Inoue just had better control of that elastic band of distancing.

Seems Inoue is finally getting his props from the American audience, interesting to see what he does now, the Tapales fight for undisputed is a must then I think he easily cleans up at feather giving the chance

Wow. My prediction couldn't have been more wrong.

Fulton is very, very good and he got absolutely handled. Who is out there to stop the beast?
