[carlisle1]

Here, it's different. Inoue needs this fight because he is aiming for a new belt. He has to remember that, although he is the more popular fighter, he is the challenger here.

He's the challenger, and he needs this belt to add more hypes to his legacy,

after completing that unification from his previous division, now he's moving up to extend his legacy.
Fighter like him who care about winning are not afraid to take the risk. It will be nice since there's no news or any update that one of
the fighter is backing out, both are willing to take that shot from one another.
Inoue wants to prove that he can win and take Fulton's belt while the current champ will be tested. He needs to prove his worth as the
current title holder.

It's only right that his name is hyped because he's really good, so I hope he doesn't disappoint the fans who admire him greatly.

I hope he wins and gets the belt, because it's not just Inoue's fight but Asia's fight against Fulton. I'm not worried for Inoue in this fight. I think this champion is still too green to match up against the Japanese monster who could possibly become a Hall of Famer in the future.

No one is backing out because the WBO is making this fight mandatory. Inoue vacates the bantam division and played the mandatory card to Fulton which he has to fight. Fulton regardless of what seems to be a mismatch in terms of skills will face Inoue in battle.

If the event will be held in Japan, the more it will be a big advantage for Inoue.  I've read the plan is to coincide while Japan's CBDC will also be launched in a few cities including Tokyo.

Inoue is the favorite to win this fight. Though crypto bookies are not listing this yet, early odds are favoring Inoue.
If he vacated the bantamweight division, it means, he is determined to win on this weight division.
Home court advantage may only give him a lot of fans to cheer him up while inside the ring but we all know, the work is all on Inoue.
Now, we are waiting for the exact date of this fight so bookies can start including this match on their list.
If in case he will win easily on this weight division, it won't be a surprise if he will move up fast to the next one.

All this hype has basis.  He had unified the title on his previous weight category with a bang!  He fought against the best fighter on that division and triumph, of course there is some issue and unfinished business when his fight against Casimero was cancelled.  But I am sure with Inoue's current division, there is a huge chance that he will be fighting Casimoer if it happen that Inoue won the fight and Casimero move up in ranking making him the mandatory challenger.

I hope he wins and gets the belt, because it's not just Inoue's fight but Asia's fight against Fulton. I'm not worried for Inoue in this fight. I think this champion is still too green to match up against the Japanese monster who could possibly become a Hall of Famer in the future.

I also like Inoue to win the fight in hopes that Casimero catch up and be a mandatory challenger to put an end to the unfinish business this two had.

[Kasabus]

It's a humble thing for Inoue to say that he's also having troubles in terms of pressure. We've known the guy to be a very decorated and experienced fighter and we think that he's already past these stages wherein he's worried about the pressure. The jump from bantamweight to featherweight isn't that much, but he acknowledges that it might be something that he isn't thoroughly prepared for and that's commendable compared to fighters who talks trash and can't really stand up for it.

It's not that Inoue is already past the stages of being pressured. There will always be pressure if a boxer will fight a title match right away just after moving up. Aside from that, Inoue is used to fighting as a champion and not a challenger and that's the new environment he is facing and not the jump from 118 to 122 as for me, it shouldn't be a big deal.

Fighting also in Japan, where the boxing market industry is huge and decent money is circulating in every of his fight in his hometown, Inoue does carry a responsibility on his shoulder to win the fight or else, a negative post-effect is expected to follow although not to the point that it will be considered as worst.

He's moving up and the chance that he will be facing much tougher opponents will add to his pressure, the kind of conditioning
and training that he needed to undergo is not the same as the last division that he's fighting.

But that kind of gesture only shows respect to his opponent, knowing that even he's a challenger instead of talking trash to hype
the fight, Inoue is willing to take what is necessary to win against Fulton.

The end result will give either him or Fulton another hype to their respective careers.

He is just being humble. Surely he isn't the one who brags all the time like Broner. Inoue is even the top dog for bookmakers in this match despite him being the challenger and the first-timer in this division. Because Inoue move up, it is a mandatory fight for Fulton afaik so surely this is Inoue's initiative to fight someone in this new division he is in.

This will be an easy fight for Inoue which is not also a good odds again. If the line would 1.35 I think it will be enough for me to bet my usual small amount.

This bout is not a mandatory title defense for Stephen Fulton and he's not due for that yet. It's just that both camps have managed to agree on a certain terms to make the fight happen, the WBO gave Inoue a super-champion title to pave a way to make the fight much easier to happen as that title does have some perks to go directly and fight a champion even if Inoue just made the climb.

For the odds, just like what we are expecting to happen, Inoue might be listed by the bookies as the favorite or even a heavy-favorite despite the fact that this is first fight at super-bantam and he is just a challenger to the champion.

I want to assume that Inoue will change the direction of the outcome. What I mean was, we all or most of us expect that Canelo
will easily beat Bivol after he decides to challenge the champ on his division.

But things didn't end up well with Canelo and for sure there are also fans for this fight who are thinking about Fulton, as he's
more familiar with this weight, being a champ is also an advantage,

though Inoue is not someone but a monster who can push you to the limits and beat you with his aggressiveness.

When a boxer is a super champion, he can directly challenge someone for his next fight which automatically becomes a mandatory fight. And Inoue is a super champ declared by WBO. WBO unifies all these rules in boxing afaik. This is an opportunity given to Inoue since the time Japan recognized WBO. But yep that's as far as I know, if he challenges one either lower or higher rank, it becomes a mandatory automatically.

though Inoue is not someone but a monster who can push you to the limits and beat you with his aggressiveness.

Canelo's situation when he fought Bivol was somehow different because difference between super-middle to light-heavy is 7 pounds or 3 kilograms while bantam to super-bantam is 4 pounds or a kilog and a half, besides, Inoue will eventually leave his previous weight class because as he grows older, his weight will also grow too. But for Canelo, I think it's on the edge already to consider climbing a much heavier weight, and the fact that he defeated Kovalev in his first attempt made us think that maybe Canelo can still score another win to an another champion.

[Lanatsa]

Here, it's different. Inoue needs this fight because he is aiming for a new belt. He has to remember that, although he is the more popular fighter, he is the challenger here.

He's the challenger, and he needs this belt to add more hypes to his legacy,

after completing that unification from his previous division, now he's moving up to extend his legacy.
Fighter like him who care about winning are not afraid to take the risk. It will be nice since there's no news or any update that one of
the fighter is backing out, both are willing to take that shot from one another.
Inoue wants to prove that he can win and take Fulton's belt while the current champ will be tested. He needs to prove his worth as the
current title holder.

It's only right that his name is hyped because he's really good, so I hope he doesn't disappoint the fans who admire him greatly.

I hope he wins and gets the belt, because it's not just Inoue's fight but Asia's fight against Fulton. I'm not worried for Inoue in this fight. I think this champion is still too green to match up against the Japanese monster who could possibly become a Hall of Famer in the future.

We would really be seeing here on how Inoue would be able to handle it out specially on this higher weight division.Changes on weight might not be that much but we cant really that deny that speed
might really be that affected as higher weight division do sets in.I wont say that Fulton could be easily be knocked down considering that his a belt or title holder on this divsion
but it seems that Inoue is really that confident that he could snatched it up easily and directly going against Fulton instead the other one.

I disagree that Inoue's speed will affect here at 122. He will perform like he's fighting at 118 here.

Obviously too that Inoue is confident because why not be like that in a boxing match? Fulton on the other hand is also confident. Imagine a title match and they are not confident to win? With both boxers' reputations, we should expect that this match will be toe-to-toe.

I also do hope that Fulton is the one who can give Inoue a tough fight as never in the career of the Japanese boxer really struggles the whole fight.

Yes, we will not see any effect as far as his speed and power is concern, on the contrary, he might be faster and more powerful as 122 lbs.

Obviously too that Inoue is confident because why not be like that in a boxing match? Fulton on the other hand is also confident. Imagine a title match and they are not confident to win? With both boxers' reputations, we should expect that this match will be toe-to-toe.

Fulton style might give difficulty to Inoue in the early rounds. He could be slick and his style might be new to Inoue. But once the Monster has adjusted and see what Fulton is doing, he might executed his favorite straight right and then jab his way to the body and soften Fulton and take him out in the later part of the round for a TKO/KO victory.

[harizen]

But once the Monster has adjusted and see what Fulton is doing, he might executed his favorite straight right and then jab his way to the body and soften Fulton and take him out in the later part of the round for a TKO/KO victory.

That's what the Monster is capable of, adjusting on the phase of the fight then boom, will dominate his opponent later on. That's how dangerous he is.

Remember when he is struggling against Donaire during their first match, the monster remains calm and tries to keep up with that fight even after suffering already a serious injury in the early rounds. He takes time to adjust then later on, he came back stronger in the later rounds and won.

If Fulton will able to put Inoue in a struggling mode in the early rounds, for sure the Monster will able to bounce back in the later rounds, not unless Fulton will keep that early momentum until the end.

I don't think that Inoue's speed will be affected because he moves up in weight class.  I think 122 lbs is the normal weight division of Inoue.  Remember, in his last fight against Butler, Inoue was overweight making him do exercises to lose weight. So I think Inoue will be doing fine in this weight category.

So instead of performance deteriorating, I think Inoue will have a better performance this time.

It could be his normal body weight for now, because in 118 lbs, you can clearly see that he is weight drain during weigh-in. So in super bantamweight, he doesn't have to lose that extra poundage and with that, it's easy for him body and so his performance like speed and power will greatly affected positively.

So not be an issue and this is dangerous for Fulton. As he will be fighting a Inoue that has no problems making weight and he will have more power in his hands. On the other hand, it could be Fulton who could see an weight issue here, remember that he is targeting to move up to 126 already and rematch Brandon Figueroa on that weight. But he opted to stay one more time and defend his belt against Inoue.

It's an interesting decision as we know that he's aiming to move up and take that shot against Figueroa, but like what you
said he decided to stay and take Inoue instead to defend his belt.

We will see greatness as both have individual missions and they are willing to win from one another to prove that they are
better than the other.

Good for the fans who love seeing aggressive fights that can lead to a good KO outcome.

Most of them are eager to win to step up for another match which will be a good way for them to boost themselves and prove themselves more in the industry. Their goal is to make a better record of each fight. I could always see the eagerness in Inoue because he always makes sure that he has a good defense. We know that Fulton is also aggressive in the ring but Inoue seems to prepare for this upcoming match.

118 to 122 isnt really that much a huge bump when it comes to weight considering that most people do see this as a huge factor which might affect out Inoue into his overall performance or fighting.

For me it wont really be that much of an issue but i would really suggest out on Inoue's camp that he should do more better on what he had shown there specially into those recent fights that he had on 118.

People been expecting for early round KO but it seems that it do really lasts up for almost 12 rounds which is something that people arent that expecting.
Lets see on how he would handle this one out.

It's Fulton's time now to break that momentum and protect his thrown. We will see who's going to stand tall after the fight.

Although he is the champion, it seems that we are hoping he will be able to survive against Inoue. The fight between Inoue and Donaire was quite different because Donaire was the challenger, while here, it's Inoue who is the challenger, but people view him as the champion.

There is a huge pressure on Foltun because the majority of the fans do not believe he can beat the Monster, but let's see what happens during the fight night

True. All the pressure is on Fulton's side because a monster is approaching towards him to get hold of his two belts and people are already predicting that he won't do nothing to protect it. While it is him who is the champion but it seems that he's more like a challenger because he is the one who will visit Inoue at his own country to protect his belt.

But the champion cannot do anything as it's undeniable that a bout in Japan is more profitable for both parties, so instead of the challenger visiting the champion, it's the opposite. I can't really hide that I'm already excited to see this fight soon.

Yes, but it seems that he is going to be ready, the reports says it's going to be in Japan, so he is also willing to travel there, so he has embrace that pressure and he going to thrived on it.

But then again, he will not be called a Monster for nothing, Fulton is no boogeyman, he has to face him face to face and it will be very difficult task at hand. Although it might also be a good paycheck and so he is willing to put everything in the line here and we expect a good and hard fight for both fighters.

Yup, the bout will happen inside Japan and their paycheck is already laid perfectly waiting to be claimed as this kind of bout will certainly attract a lot of attention to people not just in Japan alone but in other parts of the world as well, especially after the fact that both boxers also have their own fan bases, large fan bases that supports them. This will be good folks, I bet it will!

Have we heard official announcement about this fight or it is under the negotiation table as the Japanese counterpart is doing the negotiations with PBC and Al Haymon?

So if this is still happening in the background so no paycheck is already laid yet, at least until they have announced the date and the venue of the fight, most likely it will be the old and historical Saitama stadium in Japan. But we wanted to see the exact date.
