Did Fulton cry Inoue is on roids yet? Carrying his power up in weight? What on earth is this wizardry??!!

I didn't get to see the fight because I am at work, but congratulations to Inoue. He beat the only guy that I thought could tame the Monster in the division. He deserves all the credit and adoration he receives. Now pardon me, I have a Crow wing and breast to eat.

WOW! Pissed I had to be at work! Can't wait to see the fight! Damn, Scooter! Didn't think you would be KNOCKED OUT!!! Now see if Inoue will run it back in the U.S.?

Honestly - no need to. It wasn't even close. Fulton never won a round and was out-boxed. I really never expected that Inoue would be quicker but his foot and hand speed was faster than Fulton's. Scooter can go to 126 and grab a belt and if Inoue gets there they can fight again to unify. Next up for Inoue is Tapales for undisputed at 122.

I couldn't have started my day any better! A nice cup of coffee and a Title fight on my way to work! Life is good. Boxing life is great!
I'll be watching this fight all week.

I start work @ 6:00AM, plus I have a 50 minute commute! Glad you enjoyed it! Lol!

It wasn't just a knockout, it was total domination tbh

Yeah, that's probably best for him, and I want to see him rematch Brondon Figueroa too!

Fulton couldn't beat Inoue with a weapon. There is no need to run this back.
