Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[owengtam09]

Many experts are divided on this fight, it could go either way and it will go to who wants it most, I'm sure their corners have scouted each other to see something that will give them an edge, this is going to be a very technical fight because both fighters carry the same skill, power and ring generalship boxing fans will not going to miss the fight, only two days, my excitement is double because one of the fighter I admire is fighting on their undercard which is Donaire, I expect both fighters to go for knock out but if the fight is too close the championship rounds could decide the fight

For me Naoya Inoue I really think that he got more power than Stephen Fulton while Stephen Fulton has an advantage with his technicality when it comes with a fight, for sure he will make Naoya Inoue dance in this fight and Inoue will have a hard time hitting him, and this was stated by Fulton he said that even if the Monster has the punching power that could make him win an instant KO, he got the technical powers and the fight IQ so Inoue will not hit him during the fight,

Nah! I am here because of the Main Event and the Filipino Boxer that is on this card, and I like to drop my bet here later but for me, this fight will be a great one Naoya Inoue is testing the waters on the Super bantamweight division and testing it to an undefeated fighter, Cool boy Steph is a good fighter but looking at his records of 21 fights 21 wins 13 wins was on decision and only 8 wins were knockout while Naoya Inoue has 24 fights 24 wins 3 wins was a decision and 21 wins was a knockout so for me Naoya Inoue surely has the punching power while Fulton will surely let Inoue inside his range because he will let him, and we all know the style of Fulton and his unbelievable guard but I think Naoya Inoue will Crack that open,

While Yoshiki Takei VS Ronnie Baldonado for me Yoshiki Takei really has a great record but Ronnie Baldonado even though he has losses can really pull an upset here we all know how a Filipino boxer pulls a comeback or even surprises his opponent if his opponent let his guard down,

Naoya Inoue got the speed and power for sure he will have the advantage in that and surely this will be the main focus of the camp of Naoya Inoue, while Fulton has the Technical advantage and fight IQ, so he will need to take advantage on this, to win the fight but we will definitely see how the fight will end up for sure the fight will start today, of a couple of hours if I am not mistaken the fight will surely start,

But just in a sudden turn of evens that has happen in Japan, when both camps is inspecting both gloves, that both fighters will be using for the fight and it should be a brand new gloves but inspecting the Gloves of Naoya Inoue they notice that the gloves was already opened means the gloves might not be brand new, or there are a case of tampering on it, but the camp of Inoue have said that it is new and they already look into the gloves and already inspected it, but the camp of Fulton is suggesting to make investigation on this matter, and if they are not using a brand new gloves that both parties should have inspected before the gloves was opened, so I think there are further investigation needed and the fight will need to be hold because of this incident,

[blockman]

For sure this main fight is really what people are going to watch, for me even though Naoya Inoue is a heavy puncher, his punch will surely send Stephen Fulton flying but for me, I think that Fulton is more technical than Inoue will surely lay a trap for Inoue and then when the leash unexpected for Naoya Inoue he will surely give it a go on Naoya for me Fulton is a lot more on defense and punching Naoya Inoue when the leash expected for Inoue,

From what I am seeing from the crowd and social media, they're all counting that Inoue is going to win this match. To those that haven't bet yet, stake has these odds for this match.

Fulton, Stephen
3.70

Inoue, Naoya
1.24

So while checking the odds for this match, the odds are also out for Nonito vs. Santiago. And as well as the match for Spence vs. Crawford.

If you like to take that big risk, placing some spare for Fulton will surely attract you, though the majority that we see including bookies place Inoue as the favorite and with that ML maybe there are some who will take it but for those risk takers who loves to support Inoue, they will aim for another available odds that will give them better compensation.

But again, for those who are good with supporting Inoue to win @ 1.24 might be cool and they will just bet, watch and enjoy the fight.

Yes, Inoue is the favorite. Those that are YOLO would take Fulton on their wings and bets but we don't know what will happen with this match but that's it, if you are just there to enjoy the match and want to put some bets on the side. Whoever you prefer, this match is going to be an enjoyable to watch and there's no doubt with that.

Still low. I think sports bookies are underestimating Stephen Fulton or it is a trap set by them.

I don't think that the bookies are he ones that do underestimate Fulton. It's just because they're seeing that the crowd favorite is Inoue and they're taking advantage of it but whoever is setting these odds, most of them are just close to every odd that they're setting to the bettors.
It could be a trap but there is a source for these live odds that we're seeing right now and could change even before the several minutes before the bout.

Yes Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr. are two boxers who have amazing titles and they are one of the best boxers in their class.
July 29 is the day of the meeting as well as determining who is the strongest and deserves to hold the title of champion.
If betting then clearly Terence Crawford is the best choice to bet on and I will definitely be setting aside some money for their fight later.

Tonight in our country is a few minutes away to see the fight between Fulton and Inoue and to determine whether the accusations are true or it doesn't really matter for Inoue. But the real deal is the fight this coming Saturday because this is to determine who is the current strongest in this era at their weight division because this has been long awaited to see these two clash against each other inside the ring. This time there's no turning back and the fight will gonna be the best fight of the year.

I think it doesn't matter, if you are talking about the accusations on Inoue's hand wrap or something. For me, Inoue still possesses one of the biggest puncher in boxing today, not just in his weight class so I do not see the accusations has weight in it.

So yeah, let's wait, I can't find any legit live streaming for this fight as in facebook, it will just be a replay of their previous fight or just keeps looping for the sake of getting viewership. Or it is that facebook is very tough in their algo to look for these accounts streaming it live for free in their platform.

Before the fight began, Steph Fulton indeed inspected Inoue's gloves personally and found nothing underneath. I thought that everything was over because Fulton and his training did not proved anything but that didn't stop them from throwing another allegations because they then questioned how Inoue wraps his hands as for them, that is against the rules.

Here's what Inoue's reply to them, a straightforward response:

Inoue’s response to the allegations has been firm and straightforward. He tweeted, “Japan has its own local rules. Even in the US, there are local rules on each state, and the winding methods are different. Our fight will be held in Japan on 25th, so of course I will follow the Japanese rules. Don’t suck it up. Just Fight!”

Anyway, it's all over now because Naoya Inoue already defeated Stephen Fulton in just 8 rounds by a way of TKO. The Japanese monster is now a four division world champion, way to go!

The accusation got eliminated after Inoue show everything live while wrapping his hands, proving that there's no true behind
that accusation, his willingness to cooperate, just proves that he's really honest.

With regarding to the fight, he beats Fulton by a TKO in round 8, another addition to his success, now he may unify all the belts.

Maybe it will be announced next after the celebrations..

Many experts are divided on this fight, it could go either way and it will go to who wants it most, I'm sure their corners have scouted each other to see something that will give them an edge, this is going to be a very technical fight because both fighters carry the same skill, power and ring generalship boxing fans will not going to miss the fight, only two days, my excitement is double because one of the fighter I admire is fighting on their undercard which is Donaire, I expect both fighters to go for knock out but if the fight is too close the championship rounds could decide the fight

What coin-investor meant is the coming Crawford vs Spence undisputed fight next week.

Naoya Inoue got the better power since Stephen Fulton is not a KO artist. But there is something fight fans are not seeing or not taking credit for just because someone is knocking out opponents. Inoue is also a technical fighter, he is accurate and not just throwing punches in bunches with the hope of landing them. Inoue breaks down his opponents as well with his solid body punches.

Anyways, the fight is already done. Inoue scored a big 8th-round TKO. It was an easy shutout for the Japanese until he hurt Fulton in round 8. It showed that Inoue has faster hands, better accuracy, and his stamina remained the same in the second half of the fight. I got annoyed by Fulton's delaying tactics and I'm glad Inoue stopped him. Another thing that I noticed about Inoue is his underrated jab. Fulton had difficulty sniping his jabs every time Inoue uses his jabs and they were also landing despite the big reach discrepancy.

[cabron]

Isn't the KO illegal already as Fulton had touched the ground with his glove but Inoue took the chance to another left resulting in Fulton falling? I have the feeling that Fulton will complain about this soon. This guy has been looking for some reason not to fight Inoue since May and then this technical issue happens. He is going to make it an issue.

It looks like a David vs Goliath fight but it's an absolutely dominant win for Inoue since round 1.

[jakelyson]

From what I am seeing from the crowd and social media, they're all counting that Inoue is going to win this match. To those that haven't bet yet, stake has these odds for this match.

Fulton, Stephen
3.70

Inoue, Naoya
1.24

So while checking the odds for this match, the odds are also out for Nonito vs. Santiago. And as well as the match for Spence vs. Crawford.

8 rounds were all Naoya Inoue needed to make a mark on Fulton's record and that 1 loss will surely haunt him forever, that Slick fast move of Naoya Inoue is surely amazing to watch while I have seen on Stephen Fulton that he was hesitating with his punches there is an instance faint or sometimes what I see what an error and Inoue would capitalize on that with his fast body shots that accuracy and speed on Naoya Inoue was really something to behold and I really understand why this fight only lasted 8 rounds, and for sure the gap between these two fighters has been shown in this fight and right now after that fight against Stephen Fulton, Filipino boxer Marlon Tapales have entered the ring to challenge Naoya Inoue which I highly doubt if Marlon Tapales would be ready

For us Filipino fans, we will for sure watch and support Ronnie Baldonado in his fight against Takei but for the most people, the main event is the most anticipated fight because the fight will determine if whether we will have a new unified champion or the current champion will able to retain his title and will likely face Marlon Tapales for the undisputed fight.

And comparing Inoue and Fulton, surely they have their own flavor to give in this fight but I seriously think that even if the latter has been in the division for a while now, I know that Inoue can overcome the challenges that he will about to face in this fight because I know that Fulton will not just sit around and wait for Inoue to come and get his throne away from him. I'd say that Fulton should be careful though if he plans to have a slow start because Inoue can be very unpredictable as he can definitely finish a bout as early as he can, just like what he did to Donaire where he finished the fight within two mere rounds.

Sad to say Ronnie Baldonado lost the fight in round 3 by KO, well the fight the 1st round I thought that Ronnie Baldonado would be aggressive towards the fight because of Yoshiki Takei's reach and there is intimidation from Yoshiki Takei, surprisingly Ronnie Baldonado is always back out on the corner you can see from the fight that Baldonado was always on the corner and pretty much the intimidation and pressure that Yoshiki Takei is giving to him is too much, or he initially feeling the punches of Yoshiki Takei that is why he is always backing on the corner,

While the Fulton Fight has lasted only 8 rounds with Naoya Inoue's victory, and after the fight, another Filipino Boxer and that is Marlon Tapales come into the ring and challenges the Monster who is I really don't like to see but because Tapales got the belt that Inoue needed, it is inevitable for Marlon Tapales,

[blockman]

From what I am seeing from the crowd and social media, they're all counting that Inoue is going to win this match. To those that haven't bet yet, stake has these odds for this match.

Yeah, Fulton was knocked out in the 8th round. That winning hook punch made it all for Inoue. When he has seen the opening that Fulton has already felt that punch, he continued until the referee stopped the fight. The IQ that Inoue has for boxing really is unbearable and that's why he's got that title of his. I am not sure if Marlon Tapales will be able to beat him but if that's going to be a match again for Inoue, I don't want another kababayan being beaten by this monster.

Nothing that Tapales can do now but to work more with his skills and capabilities, after witnessing that huge solid combinations from Inoue, he needed to prepare himself to try countering or try to avoid and lessen the chance of him being KO, It's a tough job but we never know what may happen, he manage to win the belt and we may see another luck from him and upset Inoue'.

Just saying, but inside me I know the chance is really slim as Inoue is really a monster inside the ring.

They might complain about it.
But I think the fight was so fast that Inoue didn't even see Fulton touch the ground. I mean, at the hype of that moment you can never stop in an instant, it's the referee's mistake for not going to the middle of them as quickly as he can to pause Inoue and protect Fulton after touching the ground.

A super dominant performance from the challenger. I didn't think it would be that far of a difference. I may have underestimated "The Monster" in this fight as I thought climbing the weight ladder would be different for him. Now, all the boxers in their weight class must be feeling a bit excited to challenge Inoue too. But Tapales will be next and I can see a super underdog in the odds on this fight. Although, this is Tapales' wish, to face Inoue so it's granted.

I reviewed that sequence but IMO that's not illegal because it's the momentum of Inoue that cause him to punch Fulton while he was going to touch the canvass. Fault of the referee as he was so slow to grab Inoue for him to not punch anymore.

Nevertheless i don't think that knockdown will warrant a protest on Team Fulton as Inoue beat him "fair and square" from the opening salvo.

I have thought that Fulton could somehow make a resistance but turns out that i'm wrong as Inoue easily dismantle the bigger Fulton.

Inoue did not hit Fulton when he was down; instead, he waited for Fulton to get up and used that opportunity to fully hurt him. In my opinion, it's not a big issue, though, as we saw how Inoue dominated Fulton, and the outcome was already certain. The only thing to be decided was whether it would be via decision or KO. Fans should move on – Fulton did a great job at the beginning, but Inoue is on another level. The reality hurts, to be honest.

If there is someone who is at fault here, it should be the referee. He should have called it as a knockdown as Fulton touches the gloves and so he will need to count Fulton. But he was so far away that he wasn't able to do that and so Inoue will have to do what he needs to do, knock out his opponent out and boxers should protect themselves at all times.

It's just moot point if the Fulton camp are going to file for a complain. Admit it or not, he is soundly beaten and it's hard to give any rounds for him. It was a clear dominated win by Inoue and the only way for Fulton to win is via knockout. But he doesn't have the power and he is slowly fading as we enter the championships round. Just a matter of time that Inoue will counter him or hit him flush to score a knockout or knockdown.

Another thing that I noticed about Inoue is his underrated jab. Fulton had difficulty sniping his jabs every time Inoue uses his jabs and they were also landing despite the big reach discrepancy.

Yup! I Agree, after seeing how Naoya Inoue fight it was surely a great showcase not only with his power and knockout capability but his technicality and speed, there is no doubt that feint also is really looking terrible for Fulton, it was like Stephen Fulton was intimidated by Inoue, or maybe he is feeling his punches I really don't know Stephen Fulton used to have some defense on his stance and I likely think he can deflect or evade Naoya Inoue's punches but maybe the speed of Naoya Inoue is really something for Fulton,

Isn't the KO illegal already as Fulton had touched the ground with his glove but Inoue took the chance to another left resulting in Fulton falling?

At the heat of the battle you will never really notice it, and surely Stephen Fulton is still standing up that time, or maybe Naoya Inoue is applying rules from the MMA, (just kidding) but surely I really think it wasn't intentional but surely if the camp of Stephen Fulton would look at the replay for sure they will see what really happen,

Well, what is next to Naoya Inoue I say Marlon Tapales, and I think Naoya Inoue wants him next aswell while Tapales say that he wants to prove something for his country and this fight will be at November for sure it will be another big fight,

I was thinking of that specific moment too and was not able to answer my question until I read this. I sincerely thought that Inoue might receive some penalties because of what happened but when the judges and referee didn't do nothing makes me think that it was a legal and Fulton wasn't able to absorb that punch from Inoue. I mean, Inoue wouldn't do that in the first place if he knows that it is not allowed. I agree that the referee was too slow to prevent that follow up punch from landing into Fulton.

Fulton keep his silence since the KO, it must have sunk in already since yesterday that he really lost it. I was actually just assuming the guy is sulking because he did his best to annoy Inoue by accusing drug enhancement and the cake yet he still lost.

That moment while Inoue celebrated his new belt, Tapales also went ahead to challenge Inoue to unify the title. It's the next fight of Inoue. I doubt Tapales can make a big make a clean shot to Inoue but they are a match. Both are small. It's gonna be fun.

After that loss Stephen Fulton's ego was so much high that he is not really doesn't accept that he lost the fight or pretty much he is just upset with the result he surely added that the punches of Naoya Inoue were not the ones that KO'ed him but his poor performance inside the ring, but surely after the fight, this is what Fulton's 1st interview, there is not much but surely enjoy it,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QNnBIwpAks


And so Moving on to the next event the Spence Jr. vs. Crawford: The Fight of the Century for sure this is going to be 1 hell of a fight and I am going to be ready for this, surely I missed the Stephen Fulton VS Naoya Inoue fight but this 1 I will keep my alarm on it, and in this event, undercard Nonito Donaire is facing Alejandro Santiago for the WBC World Bantamweight Title and another Filipino Aston Palicte will be facing a Mexican fighter Jose Salas,

[blockman]

Yeah, Fulton was knocked out in the 8th round. That winning hook punch made it all for Inoue. When he has seen the opening that Fulton has already felt that punch, he continued until the referee stopped the fight. The IQ that Inoue has for boxing really is unbearable and that's why he's got that title of his. I am not sure if Marlon Tapales will be able to beat him but if that's going to be a match again for Inoue, I don't want another kababayan being beaten by this monster.

It was just a challenge for now right and this isn't official yet? But if it becomes official for sure that the majority will want to support Inoue on this match. But as a countryman, of course, we want to support our very own as well. There's a need to become fully prepared on this one because the monster just has proved himself in so many matches that he's undefeated. He's got a colorful and lively career and that's why if someone beats him out, that will put a stain on his career record but I don't think that's going to be easy for the challengers. Whether it's Tapales or any other boxer that's eyeing him to be out, we will see that within the next several months. For now, Inoue has to take a rest maybe a month or two then will be looking for another match or gonna move to the next weigh class.
