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

[bbc.reporter]

If anyone of you was not aware, the Japanese are known in using psychological warfare before the fight to cause more anxiety to an opponent who is already suffering from anxiety because the fight. They used this against Nonito Donaire in his rematch vs. Inoue. It was rumored that random people would knock on Nonito's door every hour who are pretending to be fans to prevent him from sleeping. There were also other issues like not allowing Nonito's gloves to be used and other little problems like no chairs, no water available in his locker room.

However, it appears Fulton's team is very smart. They are using the Japanese tricks against Inoue's team so Fulton can rest and concentrate only on the fight hehehe.

Ohh, this is not good but there might be some truth to this. I hope Fulton is aware of this tactics and be ready to whatever those Japs threw at them. Might be that "cake thing" was one of them.

I have not heard about the cake thing hehe. What is it?

In any case, yes I am quite certain that Fulton's team is aware of these dirty tactics. This might be why they are using tactics that are a little similar on Inoue, like demanding a blood test before the fight or making small complaints on the hand wraps. These are types of psychological warfare to annoy and make the opponent more anxious.

I reckon none of team Inoue's psychological tricks will work and this is why I predict a split decision win for Fulton.

Why would Naoya do that when their records show who can knock out a cow? 
Fulton only has 8 KOs out of 21 fights and 21 KOs out of 24 fights for Inoue. I can understand Fulton is afraid.

Inoue has all the power to KO Fulton, he doesn't need to send fans to disturb him all the time.  That rumor is funny LOL they can sure not allow visitors into their hotel room.  Japanese are the most respectful people in the world.

Yep, Japanese people is a hard worker, respectful, and very professional, for them cheating is an ignominy.

Although Fulton is the most tough boxer in super bantamweight, but Inoue will not scared and even he lose, he will accept that.

I'm just wondering is this thing happen ever happen in boxing? I never heard there was a fanatic fans knock someone else door in order to disturb him to sleep lol.

I have never seen Inoue's face like that in Fulton's face-off from his past face-off, he is challenged to not humiliate Fulton but knock him it, I wonder why Ebbis said that Fulton is bigger in their face-off because they have the same body build and almost the same height, I believe Inoue can carry his power in the Bantamweight division and if he ever capture the Bantamweight division he will reign this undisputedly for years before moving up to conquer more division, Fulton is the only top fighter in the bantamweight division, not even Marlon Tapales can match Fulton or Inoue.

I just saw your post, and unfortunately, the live feed was already taken down. Hopefully, there will be more streamers showing a live stream of this particular fight, as I didn't see a PPV streaming on my IPTV either. Anyway, I hope Inoue will have a good fight. Good luck to us.

It's been taken down already mate, unfortunately.

But there seems to be a lot of users sharing in in Facebook, so hopefully others can find a good stream.

In any case, good luck to those who put a bet on it, gonna be early morning in the US, and so most likely they have their alarm on to be able to wake up and time to watch the main event.

Personally, I'm not sure if other streams are legit, as they could just do it to attract users. With only a few viewers, it makes me doubtful to believe that it's the actual fight. I think if we just rely on illegal streaming, we will not be able to see the real fight and will have to settle for highlights after the fight.

Try to look at it, it's not the main event but a supporting bout, but after a few minutes, it was cut and then they posted a link to watch it. But I don't want to take the risk so I search for a new one, and it was immediately went offline. Not sure if it was taken down or what, but yeah, very hard to look for a legit stream that you can watch for free without interruption. Most likely if I can't find a legit one, then yeah, might as well settle for some highlights of the fight and see who will win.

Good thing there's still a betting odds available for the fight. I have already placed my bet, and I've risked my money on Inoue winning by KO. This is a 12-round fight, and if Inoue is really eager to continue his legacy, I think winning this fight convincingly would be the right thing to do.

I was in a hurry as I was expecting the fight to have already started, so for those who have not placed their bets yet, there's still a chance to do so, just make it fast.

By the way, I found a streaming site that is not on Facebook, but sorry, I would not share it here as I'm afraid it will be taken down.

Already done placing my bet and I'm in favor with Inoue to win this match knowing he has great advantage on this fight.

For sure Inoue is hungry to win since it can increase his popularity and this is big record to achieve in his career so provably we can see him being intense on this match.

To many streams on facebook and I think that's enough for us to see the livestream of their match.

[Hypnosis00]

The main event is coming up next; you should find ways to watch the game so you will not miss a good fight. I'm wondering if Inoue is still the same, or Fulton would be able to find a way to give Inoue his first defeat. For Fulton to win, it should be via KO, as he can never win the judges in Japan, even if he is the defending champion. It's a tough battle for him.

Ah yes, about that cake, it turns out that Steph Fulton received a random birthday cake from one of his fans but in this instance, it came from a Japanese bakery and was delivered by a Japanese man.

In the video, Steph Fulton lit the cake and blew the candles for the sake of being respectful but his face surely speaks that he doesn't want any of that cake. Safe to say it might be a part of their little war outside the ring and part of the psychological battles before the fight night to keep them warm.

It's seems very difficult to find a free live stream for this fight.

The last news that I got is that Robeisy Ramirez Stops Satoshi Shimizu In 5th Round to retained his WBO belt.

Ramirez names popping out because I read that Bob Arum is looking for a Inoue vs Ramirez future fight. Inoue will obviously have plans to move up to 126 lbs if he achieved unifying the super bantamweight belt for this year.

Tough battle indeed for Fulton, he should KO Inoue to get the win. No live streaming thus far in Facebook so we will just wait for the result and review the fight on youtube videos.

Does anyone here see the controversy on the gloves that to be used on the fight, it should be new but the gloves that are supposed to be used by Inoue have a sealed broken meaning it has been opened and Team Fulton speculated that it is a used gloves, another antics by Team Inoue.

Thank for this link mate,

However, it seems that Inoue is dominating the fight, I can't give any rounds for Fulton, sad to say. He has a good jab and hit Inoue in round 5 solid, but Inoue just eat it without bashing an eye lash.

So it's going to be very hard for Fulton to win here unless he knockout Inoue in later rounds.

[yazher]

Damn! That was fast. didn't expect that to happen that way but that's Inoue for you

I thought the fight will reach up to round 12 and gonna go to the judge's decision but Inoue's skills got Fulton easily and he was just waiting for him to get slower and unleash that huge power punches.

That was a solid round 8 and the knockout was unexpected because Fulton was strong and can take those jabs easily but he miscalculated the power punches which caught him off guard.

Congratulations! to Inoue for being a 4 division champion.

[robelneo]

The end comes in round 8 Fulton cannot keep up and now Inoue is now a 4-division world champion Inoue did not show respect for Fulton's power its an easy fight, Fulton could not keep up with the speed and power and I knew its only a matter of time and its round 8 congratulations 4 more to go to equal Pacquiao's record can he do it?

I'm sure Inoue will conquer this division so far nothing comes close to Inoue's power and speed in the Bantamweight division, the bantamweight divisions in all the organizations will be all his, Inoue is phenomenal Japan should be proud of him very much

Fulton had no match for Inoue; he seemed to be afraid of Inoue's power, which is why he had doubts in attacking the shorter Inoue. But in round 8, he made a mistake, and Inoue capitalized on it. Inoue is one of the best finishers in boxing, so he got that KO win.

Congratulations to Inoue! I think he can still move up in weight because he has been dominating.

[tabas]

Woooah! Just like what everyone has expected, it's still the monster that has been proclaimed as the winner of this match. And several months ago, I've also said that this quote that's favoring Inoue. This guy is an absolute beast and there will be more matches on this division on him and for sure that just after a few rest, he's going to his road map to dominate this division.

Good for him, I don't know much a lot with Stephen but Naoya sure is a monster and is worthy of his alias. On 122 lbs, I'm sure that he'll feel something new with that but he's aware of any changes on that division and since he's the undisputed champion on the past division that he has left, it's becoming more interesting not just on him but also the title match that he has vacated.

Congratulations to Inoue! I think he can still move up in weight because he has been dominating.

I also think so and that's why that would probably be his next ambition. But for the meantime, I think that he just want to stay on this current division and has got list on who are those in line that he wants to challenge and beat.

[Yogee]

Fulton really got demolished here. There should be no excuses like issue with the gloves whatsoever.

Oh his body felt that power for sure and it was only a matter of time before Inoue catches him. I didn't think the match would go to a decision after the first few rounds. It could have been earlier but kudos to Fulton's conditioning.
