Comments Thread For: Stephen Fulton: "I Am Amongst The Elite, Disappointed In Myself"

[Teetotaler69]

There is always a reason, when a Champion loses 2 belts! Steph went there, now reciprocate. it's the the right thing to do!

What a clown

[PunchyPotorff]

This guy's a clown with that 'elite' jabbering. Geez... you got a gift vs Figueroa...
and an ACTUAL elite in Inoue made you look average at best. Be thankful for the big payday.

Tank vs. Ryan was a co-promotion, between PBC and DAZN! Both fighters were American. Tank as Champion called all the shots! Very different scenario! Cruz does what he's supposed to, I guarantee you he gets that rematch later this year! Haney had to sign with TR, and go to Australia, back-to-back, because he was the CHALLENGER! Did Fulton treat Inoue like that?

Tank wasn't the champion. 136 catchweight, remember? No belt on the line.

Was Usyk Joshua's mandatory? Was Inoue Fulton's mandatory? DID Usyk DEMAND a rematch clause for Fury? Not only the rematch, but a higher percent of the pie, if he won the first fight! Did Fulton do any of that?

No, the rematch clause BS came from Fury.



So your argument is that Fullton deserves a rematch because he didn't ask for a rematch clause?


You skipped Charles Martin. He went to the UK to defend against Joshua. Wheres his rematch?

[Monty Fisto]

Fulton got outclassed, but to his credit, he showed enough to suggest he might be able to do a bit better should a rematch occur with a more proactive mindset from the get-go. Inoue was dominant from the outset, but Fulton did begin to have better rounds as the fight progressed. Inoue was a deserved winner and totally nailed Fulton in the 8th, but I thought the 7th was possibly Fulton's best round.

Anyway, I can't begrudge him for doing what we want champs to do -- take on the best.

He went there chasing greatness! Fulton (and Al Haymon) could've done to Inoue, what Kambosos (and Bob Arum) did to Devin Haney! He did not! As CHAMPION, he had all right to do so, but he didn't. If anyone doesn't see that as significant, then don't cry if you never see it again!

man your just embarrassing yourself

[Lance98]

Fulton went in there and fought scared. I sense his nervousness and he let inoue do his thing.

[Doubledagger]

This overhyped bum deserves no rematch.

You skipped over the fact that Usyk was Joshua's mandatory, so Joshua had to fight him!

My argument is that Inoue ( and Top Rank) should grant Fulton a rematch in the U.S. because Fulton, as CHAMPION agreed to a) Fight him in Japan, and b) Fight him on ESPN. We don't get CHAMPIONS who conduct themselves like Fulton everyday! Rarely does a CHAMPION "cross the street," and travel to the challenger's backyard, and all without a rematch clause! It's my opinion that good behavior SHOULD (not a must) be rewarded! For those who think otherwise, please don't cry when fights like Beterbiev vs. Bivol, and Tank vs. Shakur, don't get made!

I give props to Charles Martin for doing what he did, and he'll never get a rematch from Joshua, nor Jared Anderson! He'll be the Poster Boy for those who want to avoid fights because of promotional issues, rematch clauses, etc! They'll say, "Look at what happened to Martin and Fulton!"

What belt does Skank own again?
