“He’s never faced a fighter like me” proceeds to get absolutely dominated and stopped
-
I loved this. He didn't just win; he kicked his ass! And THAT'S how you take a belt!
-
Inoue absolutely schooled Fulton. It was an Master Clinic Performance. Ruthlessness is 🔑 Patience Accuracy Timing Speed Power Footwork Reflexes 🥷🇯🇵 he has it all.
-
Pound for pound one of the best boxer and he still improving
-
I think the monster took this fight very personal with Fulton trainer accusing monster of ped use. Never saw monster so intense at a stare down before the fight.
-
what's devastating also was the fans of Fulton thought Fulton was gaining something when Inoue moving slow on 6th to 7th round(?) but that was actually intentional, Inoue planed to slow himself to make Fulton open up. thats why after Fulton gaining confidence believing Inoue is somewhat slowing down, Fulton got smoked.

You are caught being stationed because he is to fast and unpredictable, tied with his skills of cutting off the ring , you are forced to move backwards unless you want to exchange with him. Power is always going to be respected when hit by Inoue.
-
The Monster has every tool. One of the greatest boxers I've ever seen.
-
Inoue dictated the entire pace of the match, leaving Fulton to make a cascade of mistakes and what he was able to put together to reply, Inoue answered back even faster.
-
Inoue reserved his liver shots for Tapales.
-
He beat him everywhere. There was not one category Fulton could best Inoue in.
-
Inoue a beast. Nobody beats Him
-
That 1-2 with a perfect timing from Inoue was more than infallible…
-
Congratulations to Inoue on winning his next fight! Unreal, generational talent!
-
Inoue is a phenom. That was a virtuoso performance against a masterful boxer. Complete showcase of his abilities and a highlight knockdown for the ages. Jack Dempsey/Floyd Patterson gazelle punch. Pretty cool to see his spin on the technique of HW champs.
-
The thing that impressed me most was his conditioning. He had the same speed and power from start to finish. His last 1-2 was exactly the same as his first
-
How many times did Fulton intentionally step on Inoue's lead foot? Unsportsmanlike accusations before the fight, cheating in the ring, failed to acknowledge & credit Inoue at the post fight presser & still kept making excuses.
-
when your father trains you to become a boxing machine from age 4
-
Fulton got outboxed every single round.
-
Inoue schooled the “slick boxer” in Fulton. His Speed, Power, and Sharpness 🔪 was too much for Fulton. Masterclass Performance by the Monster 🇯🇵
