What a performance by Inoue easily a top 3 p4p fighter, strong case for no1

Number 1. Making it look easy when thinking ppl were saying Fulton would beat him easy. EZ work by Inoue

Inoue looked unbelievable. The racist are creaming themselves they're so excited. It's odd that regardless of the person's demeanor it can be a yes sir type or the loudmouth if he's black they're just overjoyed to see them defeated. That's the weird energy that's abundant here.

Nah it's the fact Fulton and his team were disrespecting inoues honor with these wrap allegations a few days out even posting yesterday about his gloves being double taped or already opened Its like what excuse you got now Stephen? Thats the part I like about the defeat I don't care what colour he is.

The people that noticed patterns are racists. Fulton showed up in a country that allowed him to make a boatload of cash and starts making allegations of loaded wraps towards his Japanese opponent. Maybe just maybe start asking why so many people hate one specific race. Then try to workout how this group of people can be better instead of making excuses followed by accusations towards people that notice patterns.

Notice how Tapales of a different race got in the ring and acted with the utmost respect and class towards Inoue, instead of with ****** trash disrespect.

Fulton didn't make one accusation and was nothing but class. If you noticed patterns and history the group responsible for bringing "civility " to savages across the globe should take the cake no? But it's just a mental weakness on your end.

The Canadian ref gave two rounds to Steph. I'm embarrassed

That was amazing. I have never seen him live. He is spectacular.

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 think it's much more than Inoue just being quicker. I've seen a couple of Naoya's fights - - mostly the highlight knockouts but what I was really impressed with was his defense and ringmanship. I mean, he was in total command out there. And while not the greatest of boxers, Fulton is still a good fighter. But Inoye was incredible as he deked, fainted punches and moved in and out and all around the ring, at will, in closing down the back pedaling Fulton before he nailed him with that "lights out" right. I'll sure be watching Naoya anytime he fights next and will follow his amazing career.

Fulton didn't even like that accusation did you see his face at the press conference? Disrespecting his honor? Mr Fantastic would be impressed with that reach. First step to overcoming a problem is admitting you have one.

Doesn't P4P have to do with what you in different weight classes. Or is it in what fashion you finish a fight with the competition against.

in general it is a personal judgement call of who would be the best fighter if everyone was the same size. Personally if inoue was at 147lb man i think he would handle both spence or crawford.
