[Boxing] Stephen Fulton vs. Naoya Inoue | WBC & WBO 122 lbs bout | July 25

[Sanitough]

It's really depends on how his body will respond to moving up in weight, I think in 126 lbs it will be a big challenge for him so not sure if he can go as high as 130-135 lbs and I don't think he can reach what Manny did before.

Let's take it one step at a time. In my opinion, the featherweight division is the maximum weight class where he can still carry his power and speed effectively. However, he is still far from the current division's top fighters. He needs to defeat the champion and overcome other challenges before fighting in a unification and undisputed bout.

Although again he is with Top Rank, and they have the experience how to hype and bring someone to be the next Pacman from Asia. So let's see if he can dominate Fulton in his new weight class and take his belt away.

As I said earlier, let's take it one step at a time. Winning against Fulton should be his primary goal, and if he does so impressively, there's no doubt that he can continue to move up to higher weight classes.

[Pamadar]

It's too early to see him going belt after belt here, if he wins here, he should be defending it against the rank fighter in his organization. He really need to test other boxers too before unifying it unlike in the bantamweight division wherein most of the belts he won because there is a tournament that time and he face most of the champion in the WBSS.

For let's say Naoya Inoue wins over Stephen Fulton and successfully grabs the WBC and WBO Super Bantamweight title, and knowing Bob Arum's play, he might think that his Inoue won't face any risks if he goes straight unifying the belts at the 122 lbs division without having a mandatory title defense. I'm referring to Inoue facing the new counterpart champion, Marlon Tapales. Or on the other hand, if pure business will apply, Inoue might fight a series of title defenses before unifying, to maximize the revenue potential, I guess.

Later on, unification will follow and if wins, no more business needed to be settled at the 122, Inoue might move up to 126 as a Featherweight.

Just a possible view of his timeline as no doubt, Inoue can really even move up to 126 for a year or two smoothly without a problem.

Definitely, Inoue might move up again after dominating the super bantamweight division. As reported, it is said that there's not a lot of money in lower divisions. Therefore, Inoue will likely try to pursue a higher division where he can maximize his profits using his popularity. Many people say that Inoue might be the next Manny Pacquiao, and I agree with that, as long as he does not waste a lot of time staying in one division where he has already dominated.

Same with how I see this, Inoue and his camp are really aiming to keep moving up.

With the hype of his name and with the capabilities that he got, it's possible to be the next Pacman.
He's fighting capabilities and his power combinations something that fans really love following.

He can move from division to another and collect more money. That's something every boxer really
aims to achieve aside from the fame they also aiming to collect more money while they are still young
and capable to continue fighting.

Still too early to even discuss that, I know that he does have chances but imagining that Naoya Inoue reaching the welterweight is quite too much at this point. Super-bantamweight is his 4th division and if he will successfully claim a belt, he will be a 4-Division World Champion and that's a halfway already from Pacquiao's 8-Division but just like what I've said, it's quite premature to discuss that at this point. Let's just enjoy Inoue's journey in this industry and bet on him if we can on his fight.

I think it is early for Inoue to leave this division directly because even if we say that they will plan for a unification fight after this against Marlon Tapales and will be successful. Bob Arum will take the advantage first to milk this division while there are still some boxers who are willing to fight his cow but talking about business, I guess Inoue will face some mandatory and other title defense first before unifying the belts as that is his closing move.

Why people is really trying out to compare Inoue on Manny Pacquiao? Well we do know that there are other boxers who do almost reach out Pacquiaos record
Here's the list https://sports.betmgm.com/en/blog/top-5-boxers-with-most-division-titles-bm05/

Oscar Dela Hoya - 6
Mayweather -5
and there's some other names..

Which means reaching out is really just that too far off and considering on how far to those boxers above mentioned then it would be never an easy journey
but lets see on how he would really be able to reach up those divisions which we know that it isnt really that nearly impossible considering that Inoue
isnt really that old. There's still soo much space for him to move around and able to reach up if ever he do have the plans.

[BitcoinPanther]

I think it is early for Inoue to leave this division directly because even if we say that they will plan for a unification fight after this against Marlon Tapales and will be successful. Bob Arum will take the advantage first to milk this division while there are still some boxers who are willing to fight his cow but talking about business, I guess Inoue will face some mandatory and other title defense first before unifying the belts as that is his closing move.

As far as I know, Inoue is worry about the effectiveness of his punches in this division and also worried whether he can withstand the blows of his opponent.  Even though he is a monster, going up in a division means his upcoming opponent will have a better resistance and heavier punches so I think he will make himself familiar in the division and at the same time aim for another unification against Tapales if ever he beat Fulton.  Even after he get his goal, I think Inoue will be hesitant to move up that fast because of that worries.

I believe Inoue has high possibility of unifying all the belts and maybe rewarded as the first one (if I am not mistaken) to conquer 2 division as undisputed champion.

I read in an article that Inoue stated that he won't be going up to welterweight Division and at most he can be is on Featherweight Division.

"I can go as far as featherweight," the fighter has said.

[Kemarit]

^^ Yes, I also don't think that he can go as high as featherweight and that's it. And it's hard to duplicate what Manny did in his career, and we might not see that happening in boxing.

Going to 122 lbs might not be a big challenge for Inoue now, as he is about to hit his prime. But if he continue to go up, it's going to be a different story, natural featherweight boxer might give him problems even if he can carry his power to that division. So imagine him and Rey Vargas in the ring, or any other featherweight champion.

it would take time to really go up in higher weight division. pacquiao did it but it was not an overnight preparation. he was thrown a lot of criticisms throughout those years. now, if inoue is serious in carving out his own career, he can also do it. but would take years and not only few months. let's see how he will perform in this division. though it is not that much of a change so should be easy for him.

And it just only shows that Pacquiao is really Legendary on how he did it in short amount of time + he has Bob Arum who orchestrate it, and Roach who chooses his opponent carefully every time he jumps one weight class, like David Diaz.

So in any case if Inoue is something special as well, then he might or can do it. He is under Bob Arum so he knows how to do it because of Manny. If not, then take it slowly, let his body adjust and grow naturally to 126 lbs and higher and we can only accomplished it as we mature and age.

If only Manny Pacquiao had not skipped two division on his going up in weight classes, manny would have bagged another 2 division making it a 10 division champion, but well what happened happens so he became 8 Division champion which I also think is too hard to break.  Even with Inoue's skills and popularity, he will have a hard time bagging more division belts because of the weight/strength/resistance possibility.  Heavier weight has heavier punches and is more sturdy body that can challenge Inoue's power and resistance to heavy punches.

So in any case if Inoue is something special as well, then he might or can do it. He is under Bob Arum so he knows how to do it because of Manny. If not, then take it slowly, let his body adjust and grow naturally to 126 lbs and higher and we can only accomplished it as we mature and age.

Different boxers have different results even with the same manager/promoter.  The problem would be the age.  If Inoue take it slow, he might miss some division that will break Pacqiuao's record before he retires, if he take it too fast then he might end up beaten by the heavier boxers.  So I really think it is difficult for Inoue to break the 8 division title of Manny Pacquiao.

At least he can try. Besides, losing a fight is not a big deal for him as long as he knows how to come back. Pacquiao is not an undefeated boxer, yet he has become a sensational boxer who enjoys a huge fan base due to his boxing style. Inoue has the same boxing style. He is aggressive and knocks down a lot of opponents, but he just needs to take risks and try to move up to push his limits. Hopefully, his promoter will not hinder his plans.

There's always doubt among fans when a boxer moves up in weight class, as it's possible that they may not be able to maintain their power and quickness. However, we just have to wait and see because Inoue will surely not continue moving up if it doesn't help him achieve his goals.

This is actually his first attempt, so it's quite early to expect immediate success in another division.

He just needs to establish his dominance in the super bantamweight division, and that begins with defeating Fulton.

[Maslate]

It's too early to see him going belt after belt here, if he wins here, he should be defending it against the rank fighter in his organization. He really need to test other boxers too before unifying it unlike in the bantamweight division wherein most of the belts he won because there is a tournament that time and he face most of the champion in the WBSS.

I'm referring to Inoue facing the new counterpart champion, Marlon Tapales. Or on the other hand, if pure business will apply, Inoue might fight a series of title defenses before unifying, to maximize the revenue potential, I guess.

Later on, unification will follow and if wins, no more business needed to be settled at the 122, Inoue might move up to 126 as a Featherweight.

Just a possible view of his timeline as no doubt, Inoue can really even move up to 126 for a year or two smoothly without a problem.

Definitely, Inoue might move up again after dominating the super bantamweight division. As reported, it is said that there's not a lot of money in lower divisions. Therefore, Inoue will likely try to pursue a higher division where he can maximize his profits using his popularity.

isnt really that old. There's still soo much space for him to move around and able to reach up if ever he do have the plans.

One good reasons why Inoue has been compared to Manny Pacquiao is because he is also from an Asian country which is just 4 hours Northeast from the Philippines where Pacquiao came from and then Inoue is still active and young while those list in the mentioned article are the boxers who is already past their prime and inactive in the professional scene for years, some even decades.

Inoue being still active in the sport means that he will likely reach that same milestone, I mean his chances are quite strong compared to Oscar that stopped from the 6th Division.

[LUCKMCFLY]

But the question is, do we think that it will boils down or at least the fight going to full 12 rounds? Fulton survived against the volume punching of Brandon Figueroa. But this is a different fighter in Inoue so we don't know if the fight will last or Inoue's power will go with him in this new division.

Most likely he can't survive up to 12 rounds judging from the past few opponents of Inoue and now that he increase his weight, I'm sure he is stronger than before and his punches are more powerful, I just can't say if his speed is still impossible to dodge but if that is the case, the chance of Fulton to win reach the 12 rounds of exchanging with Inoue is almost zero let alone to win this fight. He just needs to train well and is expected to take more powerful punches if he is ready and knows what to do after that, his chance will increase and might gonna pull a devastating knockout against Inoue.

He needs to add more trainings in terms of counter punches and not just an ordinary counter but a solid one that can also
bring Inoue down. If he adjusts and brings something like this, the chance of winning is possible.

It's not hard for Fulton as he's also a champ and he just need to add on his aim in bringing down Inoue, upset the heavy favorite will increase
the hypes of his name from this sport.

Looking to see a good and clean fight between these two champ, more on toe-to-toe confrontations for a possible KO!

Most probably, Fulton and everybody in his camp are on it now because they already knew that in-order to defeat a monster just like Inoue, they needed something powerful and unpredictable to give a positive impact so that Inoue can't shake it off so easily and will be cautious on his actions afterwards. But if they failed on that one, Fulton needed to have another plan just in-case his most powerful punch doesn't have any effects on the monster.

It is very difficult to make a Prediction of how many rounds they can do, but the important thing here is that they can have several options, but the one that perhaps for me will be the best is that they can both do a great job, but the winner will be Inoue, I know that Fulton He is very strong, his technique is very good, but I think it will not be enough to overcome an Inoue who I consider to be a boxing genius, from the way he fights, from the way he acts, I see him as a great professional, I The best thing about Inoue is that he is a quiet boxer, he doesn't praise himself, he has humility, which is something that many forgot.

Right, we really have to see first how Inoue will do in this division, although as we have seen or predicted, it's not a big jump and on the contrary it could be positive for him to be in this division as his body will not have to diet and go to 118 lbs as if might affect his performance.

So we will see if he still has the power that he is known of, because in the bantamweight division, he clean that up and beat everyone either with knockout or stoppage winning. So everyone is anticipating the same dominance in super bantamweight.

Considering the fact that once a boxer or should I say almost every human that will enter the Father-phase, there will be some changes on their body including their weight and for Inoue, this new weight class might be his suitable weight class as he's not getting any younger. And if that will be the case here, then Inoue do have some slight advantage because he will be not needing a lengthy rehydration process just to fit in the weight class. 2 more months to go!

Like what the comment above you, it's not that far from his previous weight and since he's aging as well, the metabolism of his body might
take him up to this weight, it's a favorable to him as mentioned he doesn't need to burn a lot to maintain his weight.

He might be more comfortable fighting and moving around. It will going to depend on the training and preparations that he will take while waiting
for the final date.

Both are known to be on the top of their respective careers, but only one can win the match.

[Sanitough]

Both are known to be on the top of their respective careers, but only one can win the match.

Yeah, but considering Inoue's popularity and his impressive track record, it wouldn't be surprising if his winning streak continues. Even though Fulton is the champion, it seems like the public doesn't believe he stands a chance against the formidable Inoue. All we can do is wait and see another impressive victory by Inoue. Sorry for assuming too much, and while I do respect Fulton, my intuition tells me that he won't be able to withstand Inoue's power punches. Just like the past boxers Inoue has defeated, Fulton might not be an exception.

Odds shows it as well, for sure Inoue will be the favorite and if I'm not mistaken it has been released by some bookies already. But when I check today, it has been deleted. Maybe they will have to post it again once the fight is nearing the schedule in June.

So yes, no surprised, we respect Fulton, for what he did at 122 lbs and he is supposed to move up, but just decided to stay so that he can fight Inoue.

But it's going to be hard for him and Inoue is really very good even at this weight and I for one thinks that he can be the undisputed champion once more.

One good reasons why Inoue has been compared to Manny Pacquiao is because he is also from an Asian country which is just 4 hours Northeast from the Philippines where Pacquiao came from and then Inoue is still active and young while those list in the mentioned article are the boxers who is already past their prime and inactive in the professional scene for years, some even decades.
Inoue being still active in the sport means that he will likely reach that same milestone, I mean his chances are quite strong compared to Oscar that stopped from the 6th Division.

Inoue is one of a kind and you won't find someone like him nowadays, the way he finished his opponents and the way he throw those punches are quietly unique and hard to counter. He is currently in his prime and to think that he is easy to beat in his current self is honestly delusional for any boxer in their current weight division. In this upcoming fight, he is expectedly gonna dominate his opponent and will also easily gonna make everyone on the top list train harder because he is coming to beat them.
