Comments Thread For: Naoya Inoue Drops, Stops Stephen Fulton In 8th Round To Become Four-Division Champion

[The Common Man]

These "smaller man" narratives have reached nauseating levels. As limited as he was, Deontay Wilder just fought a man 44 pounds heavier and taller 3 times. Never got the benefit of this narrative. Mayweather fought opponents with double-digit fight night weight advantages for 13 years. Never got the benefit of these narratives. Whitaker didn't get one against Vazquez and neither did the greats of yesteryear.

Love boxing, but the sport gets softer and softer by the year...

Finally caught the fight. Inoue made that look easy. I’m looking forward to him becoming undisputed at 122 later this year.

lol. all over internet ppl were saying Fulton wins because he a slick black Philly fighter. once he gets destroyed ppl say "why you bring race into this, they just wanna see black man lose" hahahaha. can't make this up

I never heard anybody say Fulton would win because he was black. People said they thought he would win because he was the bigger man. The thing is 99 percent of the people on this Forum, other Forums, or out in the real world who wanted Fulton to lose were white males who wanted Fulton to lose because he is black. Just like the same whites wanted Mayweather to lose because he is black like the same whites who dislike Deontay Wilder only dislike him because he is black and I could go on. I can't make this up.

Some of yall are totally f@cking ******. And some of yall spend way too much time replying to people who are totally f@cking ******.

The result is a thread like this lol


Anyway, Inoue is fantastic and I had no doubt he'd beat Fulton. Where I got it wrong was in thinking Fulton could use his length and the timing he'd used in previous fights to frustrate Inoue, go 12 rounds, and maybe put 4 or a generous 5 of them in the bank. Instead, Inoue easily outboxed him, showed superior timing, never had any problems with his movement or reach, and splatted him brutally to cap it off. Better in every respect. An elite P4P performance that you see only rarely.

Fulton was a divisional #1, unified champ, probably top 25 P4P. He had shown good timing, defense, stamina, and adaptability, and aside from power can pretty much do it all at a high level. He is no mug and the people saying he was overrated are failing to grasp just how f@cking impressive it was for Inoue to make him look so feeble.

It's a testament to how good Inoue is that they'd have Inoue favourite in 1st fight in 4th division. Inoue didn't need to be in a division 5 years like bud has been to be favourite against Spence in 3rd division. And bud hasn't delivered yet against spence, and might lose, let alone dominate and stop spence in 8 rounds.
I guess Nelo was favourite against bivol, but Nell had best kovalev at 175, so maybe overrated that win. And the bookies getting it so wrong with Nell v bivol didn't put them off having faith in Inoue

I never heard anybody say Fulton would win because he was black. People said they thought he would win because he was the bigger man. The thing is 99 percent of the people on this Forum, other Forums, or out in the real world who wanted Fulton to lose were white males who wanted Fulton to lose because he is black.

Are you ****ing kidding me?! Either your full of shyt or you’ve been living under a rock. There’s tons of articles and YouTube videos hyping the fight because Inoue had never fought nor sparred a black fighter. Even Stephan Breadman picked Fulton because he was a slick black fighter. You definitely don’t know what your talking about.

Touching story. I never heard any black person say the reason they thought Fulton would win was because he is black. But you can fight tons of racist whites, Asians, ect like you who only wanted Inoue to win because he wasn't black. So if anything you don't know what you are talking about. But lets go further racist. Tyson Fury fans are white. The only root for for him because is white. I bet you have no problem with it. You had no problem with racist Asians and Whites rooting for Pac to beat Mayweather. You have no problem with Mexicans rooting for Canelo. Lol typical racist logic. Go do you black bashing to somebody else. I am not responding to anything else you type.

You type like a mentally handicap person. So I will assume you white.or a immigrant living off the USA. Maybe ask a grown black man to teach you how to type better because I have no idea what your racist butt is trying to say.
