Naoya's loaded gloves were the difference. Fight should be a NC.

Might I suggest you stop obsessing with the blacks, stop arguing with them on YouTube, stop trying to control black men altogether, and ultimately stop investing too much of your psyche to the internet. Social media doesn’t sound like something you can process in a healthy manner and it’s turned you into an angry bitter internet troll

So because i point how you are factually wrong you say i'm obsessed with blacks? so are you obsessed with racist white people or something then? It is what is it is people from all races are/can be racist against each other you are the one fixated on only white people when there is countless evidence on here of black folks being racists towards other races but that doesn't count i take it. I don't have any social media so you can forget about that cop out i deleted Facebook like 5 + years ago never had twitter/instagram.

You have nothing man just deflecting from my point and coming up with outlandish reasons for why i would think this way as if it's unfathomable to see it here or through natural reasons get a grip.

This man is a beast. Honestly I thought he'd have trouble with Fulton's ring IQ, but Inoue was up to the task. That compact, devastating right reminds me of Tszyu. Set it up beautifully with that jab to the stomach from the get go.

Being the bigger man with the longer reach, I think Fulton felt he was faster as well, and with those advantages, he'd control the fight from the outside. But after the first round, I saw a concerned look on his face when he realized he was NOT faster and he was NOT the better boxer. He really underestimated how fast Inoue can bridge the gap.

I was pulling for Steph and naturally disappointed to see Steph get knocked out. I thought he started to get into a better grove for a few moments as I was hoping he would be able to make his mark in the fight. He had a great run, but I don't think it is over. I think he can pick up the pieces and win more titles. That's what I'm hoping for his career to continue at a high level. But damn, that was a nightmare machine that he was in with. I can see Inoue obliterating this division and the next one up. His reaction time and power are amazing. But it is a sad state when so many racially triggered statements are made on this boxing board. I can't keep up with them all. No restraint on harmful words coming out of people.

For real my boy, too many racial things going on. People get triggered by trolls easily. Just discuss boxing and move on. Leave politics out of it. I look at is as, if someone says something about another race/nationality/ethnic background, ignore the bigot, and move on. Talk to the people that are sensible in here. There's plenty who can talk boxing, and not be racist.

I understand that boxing is a national pride type of sport, along with other sports (but more so heightened), but F00K racists. Fighter A fought better than Fighter B today. Inoue was faster, had better reactions, read Fulton better, and had the power advantage. Naoya can fix a few things here and there, but overall stellar performance. Fulton is a great boxer, he will bounce back. He just fought against someone better, maybe an all-time great, today. No shame in that.

PS.

I applaud those who can ignore trolls and not get triggered by race-baiters. Good job.

Inoue looked great and Fulton looked lost without any answers. I don't think Inoue's power is going to the be the problem at 122-126 it's going to be his speed and precision he was very fast and accurate this morning. He's top 3 P4P for me now.

Fulton was taking the shots pretty well up until that jab to the stomach right up top that he didn't see, Inoue is a great finisher and there was a lot of time left the stoppage was inevitable.

The monster is for realz.

This is the response I've been reading so far:

Before: Fulton will box the hell out of Inoue. One of the best jab in the business. Master Boxer.
After: Fulton is ok. He's not really that good to begin with. He lacks power. I use to box so I know what I'm talking about. Fulton is trash. That means Inoue is trash.

Grow up.
