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

[BitcoinPanther]

By now the injury must have been dealt already and overtime its already cured. If its not the fist that's broken, it wouldn't be a big deal in the fight. Inoue is not old yet, there is no way he can't get used to the weight after few months.

One more advantage with this fight is that Fulton vs Inoue fight will be held in Japan. He'll do his best to impress his fellow country men to give them an spectacular KO.

On paper, it seems that almost all advantages are pointing towards Naoya Inoue, leaving the current 2-belt champion, Steph Fulton, as the underdog in their upcoming bout.

Personally, I cannot really bring myself to oppose whatever is laid in-front of us now and favor the champion because even if Inoue is just the challenger here in Fulton's division and this is his first fight at 122, it's just real hard to go for the opposite way and bet against the crowd favorite.

It might be hard to think about the possible outcome for now because I also don't want to underestimate Fulton, but in this instance, I will go with the Japanese monster.

It isn't just the crowd but the talent and ability of Inoue speaks for itself.  Inoue had a flawless performance in 118 lbs, and 122 is just one division higher, and the time he moves to 122 lbs, he is already having a hard time to catch up with the 118 lbs weight requirement.  So the moving up in division of Inoue is believed to be the perfect timing and is due.  I also think that there will be no reduction on Inoue's speed and reaction plus his punching power will increase due to added mass which make Inoue more deadly. 

That is the reason I think why Fulton is underdog despite of being a champion and good record in this coming fight.

Considering that Inoue's having an issue with reducing his weight means that he will be more comfortable in this division, that will give him
more solid power punch and in terms of quickness, it's not a big deal for him.

122lbs is just a division away from his previous weight, so the adjustment is not that hard, plus the fact that he will be fighting in front of his own
fans, that adds inspirations and by culture we know pride is really important to every Japanese fighter.

Inoue can use that as an additional boost to hype his performance and to win these fights.

Might be easy to say because we are not the ones who are fighting directly against Steph Fulton who have been owning the division for quite some years now but for Inoue, he's not taking it easy because after all, this is not his division and it's not yet guaranteed that he will perform impressively in this division compared to what we saw him while he was still at 118. But you got some points, it's just a 4 pounds heavier compared to bantamweight so I guess he will not be having some troubles in this division.

The suggestion that he's been wrestling with the 118 lbs limit implies that the 122 lbs class could be a better fit for him. His prowess at bantamweight was unquestionable, and a modest weight increase might turn the tables even more in his favor. However, we must not entirely dismiss the trials that come with stepping into a new weight division. It's not just a matter of adding weight, but the efficiency with which he utilizes it. Your positivity about his amplified punch power and swiftness is admirable, but keep in mind, "when we assume, we risk making donkeys out of ourselves?"

And Fulton - he's dominated this division for some time. Is Inoue up to the task of challenging his rule? We'll have to keep our eyes glued to the action to know. That's part of the buzz of the sport, isn't it?!

It was his time, but now it's Inoue's time. I may sound optimistic, but I don't see Fulton's skills being able to match up with Inoue's. I hope he won't regret changing his decision of not moving up to face Inoue. However, I have a feeling that Inoue will dominate him, and Fulton won't be able to withstand Inoue's powerful punches. Please note that I mean no disrespect to Fulton, but that's how I envision the fight unfolding.

Well there is science behind punches being heavier when a person gain weight.  So it is not just an assumption.  Besides, I never stated that his speed and reaction will be amplified, but rather I stated that it could be maintained at least since gaining weight might make a boxer slower.    Aside from that I did not say Inoue will 100% beat Fulton, did I?  I just stated the possible reason I think why Inoue had been the favorite and Fulton being the underdog in this coming fight.  And you are right in saying "assuming will risk making donkeys out of ourselves " . 

And Fulton - he's dominated this division for some time. Is Inoue up to the task of challenging his rule? We'll have to keep our eyes glued to the action to know. That's part of the buzz of the sport, isn't it?!

For sure, Inoue will be preparing hard for this fight.  Although Inoue is the favorite he knows he shouldn't underestimate Fulton because he is the current "king"  of the two title in line.  Anyway, that what makes the fight more interesting, having the Champion as the underdog.

I see as a fan and the basis from the previous fight of both fighters, Inoue's winning chance is higher than Fulton.

The decision though to stay in this current weight is really appreciable from the fans,
it gives Inoue a chance to strip it under his belt and earn the respect from this new division
but also on the other hand, if Fulton manages to upset Inoue, it will add more respect to
him and a good hypes for his career, more on the money side once he decided to move up
carrying the image that he beat the hot and sensation Inoue.

That makes the fight so interesting and a must watch one because both boxers definitely have a name to uphold to mainly in this phase where both of them are undefeated, in this fight, the likelihood of draw is not very likely and so it means that we might see just one victorious camp after the fight.

And for the question that Inoue is up to the task of challenging Fulton's prowess and rule over 122 limit. I think yes, the WBO just paved a way for Inoue to make the fight happen directly and I believe they are somehow confident that Inoue can finish strong. But we should see first how will Inoue perform at 122 and against Fulton, it will be a tough fight for sure.

bookies are favouring inoue also on this fight to win. the odds are at 1.35x at stake for inoue. if you are rooting for inoue and want better odds for your bet, you can choose the winning method betting line - inoue by KO is at 2.18x or by decision at 3.05x.
wondering also if this will go the distance. don't know yet how will inoue attack on this weight division.

Fulton might be on the higher weight division but basing up on boxrec (dont know if this one is update) but in speaking about their total fights or simply with the experience
then it is really just that almost the same. It is really just that Fulton is reigning on 122 but it isnt really just that too far gap if we do speak about Inoue in below plus it is really just that right that they would really be
that confident on chasing up Fulton directly and wouldnt really be tending to look for those lower spots first for some test out and directly go to the top.
Basing up in comparison about knock out power in between two fights then its undeniably that Inoue does have the upperhand but pretty sure that Fultons camp wont really be that
dumb on not to make out some preparations in regarding to this. They cant really be just that too careless on letting Inoue to play or fight comfortably. This is really that exciting!

It is understandable because no matter what angle we try to see it and forget that Fulton is a champ, we can really say that Inoue almost got all the advantage needed in this fight because aside from having more experience in the sport, he also got more knockout chances with almost 88 percent while Fulton only got less than 40 percent, so it's quite much lower compared to the challenger.

Just a bit off-topic but I just want to share this article:

Naoya Inoue, Chantelle Cameron named 2022 IBF Fighters of the Year

Naoya Inoue was named 2022 IBF Fighters of the Year and he was rewarded with the organization's highest honor, "The Jersey Joe Walcott Award".

For the record, Naoya Inoue won the IBF title in 2019 and defended six times (against Emmanuel Rodriguez, Jason Moloney, Michael Dasmariñas, Aran Dipaen, and Nonito Donaire Jr. 2x - which was probably the highlight of his IBF Bantamweight Title journey).

[LUCKMCFLY]

It is unfortunate when injuries can do things against us, because looking at it from one point of view, a boxer who has at least one injury is the vulnerability that the other boxer will take advantage of, and that is something that has a high value, for me things They cannot occur that way, I have Practiced this sport, and the worst injury that there can be and that is silent is that of the shoulder, because for me a boxer has the greatest strength there, not in the forearms but in the shoulders,but Whether it's on the wrist or hands, it's more Bearable, but one Shoulder gives everything.

Indeed, an injury will truly affect the movements of a boxer.

even that fighter can endure the pain but the limitations with his capabilities will really compromise, I see your point as you experienced this sport and you understand it well, with that shoulder injuries that you are mentioning I agree with you that it's harder to move if you have that pain, your flexibility can be exposed and your opponents can easily detect that and will take the advantages against you.

Exactly, it's that for everything, a shoulder injury is something that can be dealt with, now, a shoulder injury or a wrist injury , if the wrist is not treated on time that can get complicated , personally the wrists can be the Achilles heel of a boxer too, because a boxer with veins that are rounded is through therapies or the so-called "sobas" that those people who know can give, well, it can be cured within a week, but when it rises With a sprain, things can get worse, because a boxer's Trojan horse is his hands (wrists) if this also fails, there is no way to do things well, it is to expose himself to a knockout.

I have nothing but respect to Naoya Inoue, a well-deserved award with all that spectacular performance he had defending his title and finished them all in a dominating fashion, because not only that he successfully defended it 6 times and dominated all of these but also ended all the fight a very devastating knock outs. I mean with his speed, agility, and power it's pretty obvious he's getting this award even before it was announced.
So yeah, that's pretty much the highlights for this award. Now, everyone's very excited on his next journey to continue and impress the boxing world of his ability. It's really crazy for a fighter to average 6 round per fight of his whole career.

Yeah, he deserves the accolades and which those names that he has defeated to remain undefeated in defending his belt, is amazing, and the way he destroys his opponent on the way, Nonito Donaire and then that Emmanuel Rodriguez fight is a perfect testament how great Inoue is.

So we will see again how great Inoue is when he goes up to 122 lbs and then face the 2 belt champion this July. This is going to be a good fight, there is no rematch clause though as Fulton might be going up to 126 lbs after this fight win or lose.

Yeah, all the respect for him, and thank you for the information @harizen.
I found out about the news just now on a different site but I guess the content is just the same.
https://www.britishboxingnews.co.uk/blogs/naoya-inoue-set-to-receive-the-ibf-s-highest-honour

The Jersey Joe Walcott Award, the organization’s highest honor, will go to Naoya Inoue.  In spectacular fashion, Inoue unified the Bantamweight division with a second-round knockout win over Nonito Donaire. Naoya won the IBF title in 2019 and defended six times.

I am glad IBF has this kind of award. I mean let's face it, most viewers are only looking at WBO, WBC, and WBA as prestigious titles and IBF seems to be a title that doesn't look as high as them. That's according to my observation.
Giving such great awards will boost their reputation again after the bribery scandal in the year 2000. Being one of the major organizations, this kind of scheme should not happen again.
People are now looking forward to their favorite boxers or countrymen winning a major title like IBF and they are now part of it, might as well not make a mistake again, and keep it clean.

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?

But there's a slight chance a rematch will happen as most of Inoue's fights do not end in close contests. There was only one instance where, despite winning the fight via unanimous decision, Inoue still had a rematch with Donaire. However, in that rematch, he proved that he could make the necessary adjustments to dominate his opponent. This fight marks Inoue's first bout in a different weight class, so let's see if he can continue his reign of dominance.

So we will see again how great Inoue is when he goes up to 122 lbs and then face the 2 belt champion this July. This is going to be a good fight, there is no rematch clause though as Fulton might be going up to 126 lbs after this fight win or lose.

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?

But there's a slight chance a rematch will happen as most of Inoue's fights do not end in close contests. There was only one instance where, despite winning the fight via unanimous decision, Inoue still had a rematch with Donaire. However, in that rematch, he proved that he could make the necessary adjustments to dominate his opponent. This fight marks Inoue's first bout in a different weight class, so let's see if he can continue his reign of dominance.

I believe that Fulton will move up, win or lose as it's the real intention before this fight got negotiated, and for sure it will
be his destinations whatever the outcome.

In terms of Inoue, if he will win these fights, they might pursue to unify all the belts from this division and that might be another good accomplishment
to him.

But still, we need to wait and see if how both fighters will perform and who will retain their no loss standing.

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. 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.
