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

[cryptomaniac_xxx]

Donaire was a great example of a true champion, as he was well aware that Inoue could beat him again, and yet he still risked a unification match to test himself against Inoue once more.

Inoue is also a great example as he always seeks to fight the best opponents, which is why he became an undisputed champion in the bantamweight division. After winning, he wasted no time in moving up for the super bantamweight title match. If he succeeds again, it would be a tremendous accomplishment, and I am certain he will continue pushing his limits.

He had to climb in ranks though, as he started is fights all in Japan, but his handlers knows his true potential and they have been given the chance to fight in the US and be exposed from boxing fans because of Bob Arum.

So we might hate Bob Arum and Top Rank, but surely they know how to promote a fighter like Manny Pacquiao. And after winning the WBSS tournament, Inoue become a household name in the US and then he started his path to defeat all great fighters unifying all the belts.

Now, his journey continues as he might want to do it at 122 lbs.

Now, his journey continues as he might want to do it at 122 lbs.

The outcome of this fight is crucial as it will determine the continuation of his journey. The fact that Inoue is still listed as the favorite indicates that he is comfortable in his current weight class and has been dominant. Personally, I believe he will win as Fulton is not a significant threat to him, even though the latter is the champion.

The reason why he was being compared to Pacquiao as he's not afraid of taking fights that might strip his belt, I mean,
the challenge that he's facing attribute to his greatness.

Like what you mentioned, after unifying all the belts in the bantamweight division, he's now here, challenging the current
Champ and will try to take the belt on Fulton's name. It will be a great challenge as fans will expect him to win.

Conclusion will be dictated after the fight, if who between Inoue and Fulton will hold the belt.

There will be a time in the future for sure that he will have to fight in other countries like in US or somewhere in Europe, or even in the Middle East if Inoue will face an opponent that have a much bigger name than him. But not now because the organizer and promoter is more inclined to make the fight happen in Japan as it was already evident that they can generate big profits in that certain country and considering that Inoue won this fight and will take the undisputed fight, I'm also confident that they will contest the fight in Japan again instead of the Philippines where Marlon Tapales came from.

He won't reach the success of Pacquiao, though, because becoming an 8th division world champion is hard to surpass. However, with the current journey he is undertaking, he can surely achieve more success. He continues to move up with his power and speed, enabling him to dominate even in higher weight divisions. Additionally, Inoue has a strong chin, as he was hit cleanly by Donaire multiple times but still managed to stay up.

It's business not just a sport, so we can assume that if ever a unification will take place,

The chance that the fight will happen again in Japan is possible, if this upcoming fight will generate a huge amount of profits
then expect that promoters will take the same path, in terms of possible revenue for the Pinoy champ, An offer will be good
since he will be going to face or a possibility to face Inoue, a great paycheck is waiting for him.

Actually, even if Inoue will face a much more popular or so-called "big name" opponent compare to him, it's not the basis of where the fight will take place. Since boxing is associated with business, big matches should only take place at proven associated with a big market.

If let's say Marlon Tapales will have a shot at a unification fight against Naoya Inoue, just in case the Japanese monster won this match against Fulton, don't expect that the Philippines might be chosen as one of the venues even for consideration.

And besides, I see that guest boxers are even more determined to pulverize the host in front of its home supporters.

I agree, but somewhat if Inoue really wanted to become bigger, then USA should be the place where he should conquer. He is now even compare to Manny as both come from Asia and even Mike Tyson praises Inoue and says that he is even better than Pacquiao.

But Manny didn't fight in his home country, but instead all of his fight is in the US soil during his ran that's why he become a legend.

I think Inoue should learn from that. Bob Arum is his manager and for sure he also knows that because he created that blue print. If this fight is in the US, it's going to be huge. Right now it seems that Inoue doesn't want to get out of his comfort zone, just saying.

[Yaunfitda]

Saw some sparring clips of Inoue in Twitter, and it seems he looks huge at 122 lbs, or maybe he was in the fighting weight as we still have a month to go. And even Tank Davis is hype as well and he said that he is going to watch the fight.

So there is a big buzz on Inoue, and I do agree that the fight should have been made in the US so they he will still get the needed exposure to the audience. Maybe in his next fight, it could be in US against Tapales (if he wins here).

That is not the reason why Manny Pacquiao had most of his fights abroad and not in his own land, after all boxing industry is a business industry, and for Manny Pacquiao to earn huge profits from the fights he had, he will be needing to fight abroad where there's a lot of money that can be generated.

Because if only Manny Pacquiao can have the same revenues inside the Philippines, then he could've done that already because aside from having the crowd advantage, he will be no longer needed to adjust in a certain country just to train.

That's a good point. He has to travel to the US to get used to the altitude. Making money abroad though he will be taxed by the US law and back to the Philippines, he will also be taxed. A huge pain in the ass.

By the way, Inoue Naoya By KO is 2.07. Could the odd go to worse like 1.50 as the date approaches? Go big or go home kind of opportunity I think since it always going to be a KO with Inoue but this time he is inflating his weight.

2.07? That's already a huge and very attractive odds though. I don't see it going to 1.50 though, might be just 1.9x or something, but it wouldn't go down that hard as maybe the sports bookies think that Inoue will be having a hard time to knockout the champion.

Fulton went full 12 rounds against the volume punching of Brandon Figueroa and there are moments that I thought that he will go down. But Fulton was able to withstand that power and volume and survived without any damage. And that's why the odds for a knockout is around 2.x and again, attractive odds if we can see the Monster Inoue again.

I'm going to take that 2.07 odds. We're talking about Inoue, who has a high KO rate, so if he wins, it's most likely to be via KO. Even at 1.80, I would still be willing to take that bet. Fulton is the champion, so I'm sure he has the pride to fight and not just look like a punching bag against Inoue. I know it's still a gamble, but judging from history, I believe a KO win has a higher chance of happening.

Yes, I will surely take advantage of that odds while the line is still playing at 2.00 plus because we never know if that line will maintain or will make a movement in the upcoming weeks. Besides, IIRC, that line is big and decent already compared to the past fights of Inoue and it is surely worth it knowing that Inoue is at the height of his prime.

And besides, I see that guest boxers are even more determined to pulverize the host in front of its home supporters.

So far there are no other names bigger than Inoue. So we expect his fights to remain either his native Japan which is already a very rich country and the 3rd biggest economy in the world or the United States where his promoter Top Rank is based and also the home of its partnered network ESPN.

But at least Inoue is also willing to travel anywhere. He already fought in the UK. And there are also chances of other countries hosting his fights if the offers are bigger just like the Middle East, the UK, etc.

At the moment, even if Inoue moves up to 126, he remains the biggest name. His pound-for-pound status also made him very popular. Currently, #1 by TBRB and #2 by The Ring. Crawford or Spence might take #1 whoever wins their unification. At 130 though, Oscar Valdez is a big name although I do not know if Inoue would even reach that division.

Betting on that 2.07 via KO by Inoue would already be a tempting odd on which you could already make out some bets if you dont really like for it to decrease as the match approaches which this is most likely the case .

We know that Inoue is a knockout artist or on having that huge KO percentage on which even Fulton is a champion then i do really have that confidence that this one would really be ending up on a KO.
About its additional weight then for sure it isnt really that much which would be thinking that it might affect Inoue speed and footwork? For sure they had prepared for that one but i cant really
blame out on to those people who had been worrying about that add up weight for affecting his fighting performance but i dont see that much of an issue.

[carlisle1]

Saw some sparring clips of Inoue in Twitter, and it seems he looks huge at 122 lbs, or maybe he was in the fighting weight as we still have a month to go. And even Tank Davis is hype as well and he said that he is going to watch the fight.

So there is a big buzz on Inoue, and I do agree that the fight should have been made in the US so they he will still get the needed exposure to the audience. Maybe in his next fight, it could be in US against Tapales (if he wins here).

If the demands will call it out for sure we might see that happen, if Inoue will manage to win against Fulton and he decide to
unify again all the belts in this division.

Sure thing that promoters will aim for a bigger venue, the timing for Inoue and Tapales might be very crucial as they needed to gain
that attention to make sure that the fight will earn decent viewership.

Let's wait for the outcome of this upcoming fight and see what will be the next thing that will happen.

As far as I know there will be unification fight, Marlon Tapales the Filipino who upset Akhmadaliev to win the 2 belt, is just watching and waiting in the side as he will be fighting the winner of this match.

So there is a big chance that Inoue will not only become a 2 belt champion, he could be the first boxer to unify all the belts in the 4 belts era in 2 divisions. So that will be huge. But first he needs to beat Fulton on July 25 and then goes for Tapales next.

It's not that hard to make it reality as long as Inoue will manage to defeat Fulton in the process even though there's no news as of now about the upcoming unification fight because it is still premature to even talk about that. Before that, there is this chance that Fulton or PBC will likely make a rematch if in-case the fight is quite close because Fulton's climb after the fight is not yet guaranteed.

It's worth noting that both Inoue and Crawford is aiming for the same thing and that is to be the first boxer to attain a two undisputed title in two separate division in the four belt era. It's just that Terence Crawford is the nearest one right now to achieve that title.

Donaire was a great example of a true champion, as he was well aware that Inoue could beat him again, and yet he still risked a unification match to test himself against Inoue once more.

Inoue is also a great example as he always seeks to fight the best opponents, which is why he became an undisputed champion in the bantamweight division. After winning, he wasted no time in moving up for the super bantamweight title match. If he succeeds again, it would be a tremendous accomplishment, and I am certain he will continue pushing his limits.

He had to climb in ranks though, as he started is fights all in Japan, but his handlers knows his true potential and they have been given the chance to fight in the US and be exposed from boxing fans because of Bob Arum.

So we might hate Bob Arum and Top Rank, but surely they know how to promote a fighter like Manny Pacquiao. And after winning the WBSS tournament, Inoue become a household name in the US and then he started his path to defeat all great fighters unifying all the belts.

Now, his journey continues as he might want to do it at 122 lbs.

There will be a time in the future for sure that he will have to fight in other countries like in US or somewhere in Europe, or even in the Middle East if Inoue will face an opponent that have a much bigger name than him. But not now because the organizer and promoter is more inclined to make the fight happen in Japan as it was already evident that they can generate big profits in that certain country and considering that Inoue won this fight and will take the undisputed fight, I'm also confident that they will contest the fight in Japan again instead of the Philippines where Marlon Tapales came from.

I agree, but somewhat if Inoue really wanted to become bigger, then USA should be the place where he should conquer. He is now even compare to Manny as both come from Asia and even Mike Tyson praises Inoue and says that he is even better than Pacquiao.

Because if only Manny Pacquiao can have the same revenues inside the Philippines, then he could've done that already because aside from having the crowd advantage, he will be no longer needed to adjust in a certain country just to train.

Exactly, and that's what I'm trying to drive at the at that argument that Inoue should be fighting in States more often and not in his country. Sure he can make money, but maybe he can do it in the tail end of his career. Now that he is at the top and peak, he should go to Vegas and fight or San Antonio where Manny started to make a big name by beating Marco Antonio Barrera.

As compare to Manny who doesn't have a option but to be in the US because there is no incentive of him fighting in the Philippines.

Inoue has built a name already in the US and he could capitalized from it by fighting in the US in my opinion.
