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

[harizen]

They further delay this fight and give Inoue lots of time to train and that would be bad news for his opponent because the more they prolong the preparation the more he can train and get used to his new weight class. In other words, Fulton has only a slight chance to win this fight and might never be asked for another rematch if he will be beaten badly or just get knockout.

Do you mean the injury on Inoue's side, which results in moving the fight date from May to July, is intentionally done just to give Naoya Inoue an advantage of a much longer training? Am I correct from what I understand from that post? If yes, that's not making sense to do since Inoue also following his own timeline, and a several months delay on his supposed original date fight can have a big impact on his roadmap.

Aside from that, there's no way Inoue's camp will do something to delay the fight, especially not with that kind of excuse. That's not how the Japanese Monster plays the game. He doesn't need to rely on that advantages as he himself already carries those advantages and we know his capability.

This fight is most likely the important one because the result will determine if Inoue is compatible with this weight division or not.

Naoya Inoue is no doubt already compatible with the 122 division and honestly seems looked overqualified even before entering officially that division. If let's say he loses to Stephen Fulton, it's just that he can't take the champion here but against anyone else in that division, Inoue can surely topped most of those. But I'm sure if he really loses here for real, the fight is a close one and a rematch is probably the next in line.

There might not be a rematch clause, but that depends on the outcome of the fight. The winner might change his mind and give the loser a chance for a rematch. You know, it's all about the money. If the fans are entertained and the fight generates significant revenue, then why not make the rematch happen, right?

This fight is most likely the important one because the result will determine if Inoue is compatible with this weight division or not. I'm sure if he easily wins this, he will be the next legendary boxer that we ever witness in this era.

Rematch would be determined on how close the fight would be and might be ending up on a split decision on which Fulton would really be asking out for a rematch because it would really be having in his mind that he could really go toe to toe with Inoue if that happens but if this one would be ending up on a TKO or even UD then i doubt that theres some rematch but there's no way that we could really be able to tell on
how it would be ending up.Fultons team wouldnt really be that confident on having not to train because if Inoue is preparing then so as with Fulton too. When it comes to boxing then the
better fighter would really be the one to win up a certain fight.

If Inoue loses this match, then we will all be proven wrong because we are expecting an easy victory for Inoue to claim the championship. I mean no disrespect to Fulton, but when you compare his record to Inoue's, there is a significant difference. So, even though Inoue is the challenger in this fight, many still anticipate his victory.

I wouldn't expect a rematch because I truly believe that we will not witness a closely contested fight. Most likely, the fight will either end early or go the full 12 rounds if Fulton opts to avoid taking risks and decides to focus on surviving rather than engaging in exchanges of punches.

So if there's a rematch, most likely the champ has succeeded in defending his belt.

Possible that it can happen if Fulton will stay in this division, though maybe we might not see any rematch.

Fulton may proceed and continue moving to the next level. I would like to see how both fighters will come out and try to bring the
entertainment that fans wanted them to perform. No reservation but the full power and skills to test which one will end up
winning the fight.

There is no rematch clause in this fight as per Fulton already. He admitted that this is just one fight and then see how it goes. He really wanted to go up in weight already and fight Brandon at 126 lbs it's that maybe his camp stop him from moving up because there is one fight that they need to settle and that is the Inoue fight.

So if Inoue losses, then he will remain in 122 lbs and maybe fight for the belt again.

And then Fulton will go on 126 lbs, relinquished his belt and then go for the champion Figueroa at 126 lbs. That will be the best scenario, in my opinion.

We still don't know, yes, what if he beat Inoue? then for sure there will be huge money for him in the table in the rematch and if he is going to be wise and intelligent, then he might have to do that, have a second fight, but this time it will be in his own terms, like in the US so that he won't go back to Japan.

Fulton is still very young, so the future is bring for him. It's just a matter of making the right decision in his career. And hopefully his advisor will really take care of him, on his career path, whether to move up to 126 lbs.

Depends on the losing camp whether they will purse a rematch or not as long as there is hype but if it's Fulton who will be defeated in this bout, there is a chance that a rematch will not happen even if it's a close one as he already said that he might leave the division after his fight with Inoue regardless of the outcome of their fight. Although, Al Haymon might have a different decision if that will happen because money is always a money whom he cannot afford to neglect.

I see that we have a lot of questions and what ifs after their fight, we just have to be patient as we still have 50+ more days to go before we can finally witness it.

Furthermore, having some questions right now will just lead us to another couple of questions because neither one of us here can answer it because such questions are situational especially after Fulton's words that he might leave the weight class after their clash with Inoue regardless of the result.

So, even though Inoue is the challenger in this fight, many still anticipate his victory.

Though many of us thinks that Inoue will have an easy victory against Fulton, I do not think that the fight will go that way.  Fulton is the reigning champion, so it is one proof that Fulton is a skilled boxer.  If it happen that Fulton can absorb heavy punches by Inoue then things might happen the other way around.  All we have are just speculation and since Inoue's strength is yet to be tested in this class division, we have no idea whether his punches will still be devastating for this weights.

I wouldn't expect a rematch because I truly believe that we will not witness a closely contested fight. Most likely, the fight will either end early or go the full 12 rounds if Fulton opts to avoid taking risks and decides to focus on surviving rather than engaging in exchanges of punches.

Fulton might start slow in this fight since he will be testing waters against Inoue.  Fulton might be overly cautious of the punching power of Inoue.

So if there's a rematch, most likely the champ has succeeded in defending his belt.

Rematch may happen regardless of the result, as long as there is controversial about the fight specially of the referee or judges had their vote reserved by one of the boxing council.

Given that Steph Fulton wins their fight, and a rematch will happen, it's not up to Fulton if he chooses to fight in the US soil rather than making it in Japan again because that decision falls under the promoter's and organizer's hand because they are the ones who are capitalizing for this fight whereas the boxers are already have the guaranteed money. So, it will be their call where they think the fight would be more promising, but in-terms of purse cut and other perks, Fulton got that advantage as he is now in the A-side.

But do you think he will be comfortable fighting outside of his US? Of course not, I believed since that Inoue is the A-side here, he was forced to go and fight to Japan. But I believed if he upset him and Inoue's camp inside of a rematch, common sense will tell us that it should be in the US wherein there's a lot of money, instead of Japan.

Unless there is a rematch clause which says that both fight should be happening in Japan.

But Fulton is some of his interviews says there is no rematch clause.

All things are subject to change on which it would really be potentially that he might be saying that theres no rematch but those words or sentiments would be changed up basing up on the outcome of the said
fight. Speaking about places or venue about a certain fight then it would be not much of an issue whether it would be happened on US or would really be happening on Japan doesnt really matter at all.
Its true that there might be some personal preference of a certain fighter on where they do like for the fight to happen but its really that much needed to be that versatile when it comes to this.
Do i really believe that there might be some upset for this one? Possibly but there's a less chance for Fulton to do it but who knows?

That statement from Stephen Fulton is because the fight against Inoue doesn't happen yet. If he wins this match, the winds might change and probably delay his moved-up quest as he already knows he can defeat the monster from Japan, therefore he might consider accepting a rematch if Inoue's camp will request it.

"Legacy + More Money" in the table, that's what waiting for Fulton if he accepts the rematch.

Defeating Inoue twice will give him a big recognition than pursuing Figueroa in 126 which he already defeated in the 122.

Anyways, let's not talk about the rematch for now.

I definitely agree with you on that. However, the outcome of the fight will depend on the manner of winning. If Fulton gets lucky and wins in a close fight but realizes that he can't truly defeat Inoue in reality, then I suppose he will accept that win and move on. In order to see a rematch, Fulton needs to have a convincing win and be extremely confident that he can defeat the monster twice.

Yes, that kind of technique has became more and more common these days and in-fact, we have just witnessed someone just recently using that defense again just to stay away from a rematch. I think you guys already know who I am referring to.

Anyway, that situation is very likely in-case Fulton sees that he just barely win the fight against Inoue and maybe next time he will not be that lucky as the monster of Japan is already known to evolve between each fight that he endured. I will not be surprised if he will move-on directly towards another chapter which is in the next division and leave Inoue with the vacated belts after scathing his career.

Fulton doesn't have power at 122 lbs, and he has been rocked several times in his career at this weight class, although you have to admire that he was able to hold up and finished the fight, let's say against the volume punching of Figueroa and even win it, even others are dubious about the scores and think that it was a gimme to Fulton.

So in this cause, the only manner of winning that Fulton has is through the judges scorecard, of course, maybe he will get lucky and win by a knockout but that is a long shot. I don't think that there will be rematch, just saying. I think Inoue will win this fight.

You have a point though. Generally, you are saying that if ever Stephen Fulton wins the match, the chance of him being in a disastrous condition is possible and that might change his mind to accept the rematch deal as maybe, he will think that he can't keep up with Naoya Inoue on the rematch.

That will now depend on Fulton being a man and his willingness to accept the risks of suffering hard blows once again facing Inoue in a rematch. He might receive backlash for not accepting a rematch although he can easily ignore it by saying he already defeated Inoue and no need for a rematch.

But that won't change the fact that if Fulton wants to create another legacy and more money for himself on the table if let's say he wins this match, a rematch is a good option to consider instead of moving up to 126. Beating Inoue two times in a row is something that we can't imagine and if Fulton is able to do that, that's a big achievement.

[stomachgrowls]

Naoya Inoue is no doubt already compatible with the 122 division and honestly seems looked overqualified even before entering officially that division. If let's say he loses to Stephen Fulton, it's just that he can't take the champion here but against anyone else in that division, Inoue can surely topped most of those. But I'm sure if he really loses here for real, the fight is a close one and a rematch is probably the next in line.

If Inoue loses this match, then we will all be proven wrong because we are expecting an easy victory for Inoue to claim the championship. I mean no disrespect to Fulton, but when you compare his record to Inoue's, there is a significant difference. So, even though Inoue is the challenger in this fight, many still anticipate his victory.

I wouldn't expect a rematch because I truly believe that we will not witness a closely contested fight. Most likely, the fight will either end early or go the full 12 rounds if Fulton opts to avoid taking risks and decides to focus on surviving rather than engaging in exchanges of punches.

So if there's a rematch, most likely the champ has succeeded in defending his belt.

Difference is on the firepower or simply with the KO% which is really that we could see that Fulton is lagging behind on this area which it might be the basis of Inoue on why he had really directly tending to fight with Fulton because he's really that confident when it comes to power and believe that he could take down without any problems and this is why he directly target out the belt holder of such division.Its not really that disrespecting Fulton but we know that when it comes to this matter on which if a certain boxer is really that having the feeling and assumption that he can beat up a certain boxer basing up on the stats or video footage about his recent matches then they would really be diving into that opportunity.

Rematch? Possible! But if Fulton would see the difference in power and technicality then i do highly doubt that he would really be asking for one.

[Distinctin]

Rematch? Possible! But if Fulton would see the difference in power and technicality then i do highly doubt that he would really be asking for one.

He is currently in the position of being the champion, so if he were to ask for a rematch in case of a loss, I believe Inoue would grant it. However, you are right that he may not ask for a rematch if he experiences the power of Inoue, as he would be fortunate to last all 12 rounds if he loses the fight. Therefore, it is more likely that a rematch would only happen if Inoue were to request it, as Fulton would be confident since he has already beaten Inoue.

Perhaps, for now, let's not discuss the rematch and instead focus on how the fight unfolds.

If it proves to be competitive, then a rematch becomes highly possible.

However, you are right that he may not ask for a rematch if he experiences the power of Inoue, as he would be fortunate to last all 12 rounds if he loses the fight. Therefore, it is more likely that a rematch would only happen if Inoue were to request it, as Fulton would be confident since he has already beaten Inoue.

Perhaps, for now, let's not discuss the rematch and instead focus on how the fight unfolds.

If it proves to be competitive, then a rematch becomes highly possible.

As others say, it depends on the outcome of the first fight this July. Of course, initially Fulton doesn't want a rematch, but as you have said, if he felt the power of Inoue or this is just a one side beating, then there will be no rematch I reckon.

Inoue though has a lot in this fight, his undefeated record, his pound for pound status and of course, he doesn't want his fans to be down as this fight is going to be in Japan. For Fulton, a opportunity of a lifetime to face the Monster and him thinking that he could be the first man to stop Naoya or even with by a knockout will be that impressive.
