Spence wanted to exercise the rematch, but he said he wanted it to 154 lbs? Does it mean he uses that excuses that he is drain at 147 lbs? Although he said no excuses, but it seems this is what he is trying to say here, we just have to read between the lines.

For the referee stoppage, I think there is no controversy whatsoever, he was about to go down and it's good that the referee stop the fight to save him from further damage or humiliation if he finds himself on the floor and being counted out by the referee.

Referees keep stopping the fight at the wrong time. Or am I just used to UFC stoppages? 
The right timing, when the fighter was not able to defend himself anymore, when he is not avoiding, not blocking, hands down, or just can't fight anymore.
Today, Errol Spence Jr. lost to the now champion who holds 4 titles Terrence Crawford and Spence might be heartbroken because of the referee stopping it. I don't know, for me, he can still fight, he can avoid the punches or take them and although he was knocked down so many times he can still get up without wobbly legs. Tough chin.

But all in all, Terence Crawford really fought well. Congratulations to him.
Now, Spence has a chance for a rematch and he said they will do it again. Will be waiting for him to return stronger. This is what losses are for, to go back tougher and better.

Looks like it's in West Virginia, a very backwards part of the country with one of the worst levels of education. 9 years old might be a bit young but you can still be an amateur boxer at that age. This fight does appear to be sanctioned by USA Boxing, so it's not just some unregulated hillbilly bare knuckle brawling type of event as some might assume based on the location and how it's being covered in the media.

Who would get a sympathy if right from the start he was already throwing excuses and made a baseless arguments that doesn't really make sense at all and instead of sympathy, he did received the very opposite of it and which he deserved by the way.

In the end, Inoue's way of hand wrapping is legal and their camp did explained it beforehand that in Japan, it was legal just like how the set of rules varies from each state and country. And if it was legal, then there should be no excuses because you'll look foolish if you're making an argument towards a legal matter.

He won't get the sympathy of the fans as it was very obvious he lost the fight. Prior to the fight, his team already made a statement that seemed to accuse Inoue of cheating, specifically, of loading his gloves. However, eventually, things were sorted out, and the fight still continued. I hope the time will come when Fulton will be able to accept the defeat. He was even appreciated because of his bravery; he came to Japan to give his challenger a fight, and it's just unfortunate that he lost. But there's nothing to be ashamed of, as Inoue will soon be a hall of Famer in boxing.



I'm not 100% sure he'll win, but honestly, I believe the chance of Tapales winning the fight is very slim. I also admire how brave Tapales is because he challenged Inoue for a unification bout. So, I can say he truly is a warrior as he wants to fight the best.

And be humble in defeat as well, but so far Fulton didn't show any of that and instant have many excuses in the post fight interview. In any case, we are not buying that excuses, we've seen that he was really outclassed by the Monster and if there is something that he needs to do is just accept it and thank Inoue as he was given the chance to go to his native Japan.

Anyhow, the hype on Inoue will continue, they are talking about a potential Tapales fight, and him putting his name in the history for Japan. So let's see how far he can go up in weight classes and conquering belts after belts. Or will he stay first at 122 lbs and test the waters in this class and at least fight Casimero.

So true. Like a lion who saw his prey and would not stop chasing him. Stephen Fulton even tried to clinch but Inoue is so slick that he got away with it, pushed Fulton a bit and the rest is history.
Pure power. Those punches are hard to compare to anyone and I do believe that is why the name of Tank Davis is coming out now in different social media platforms, because that's the other guy with so much power in his fist.

Being a 2-3 years champion, I think it will be normal to not accept the loss. He may have been regretting some things now like not training harder or not researching how powerful his opponent will be. I know some boxers have egos once they are champions and they become too confident with their skills. A loss will probably make him better.

Anyone heard about this boxing match being promoted in some small county in the south I believe? I should probably check to see if it’s real and I forget the name of the promoting company, but I did see a promotion for a boxing match between two nine year olds and I’ll admit that I’m curious and would probably watch, it seems like this boxing shenanigans stuff is starting to cross lines.

It's good if he will decide to remain at 122 lbs, because there are still some good fighters left in the division, namely Neri and Casimero. But I wanted to see first a fight between Luis Neri and John Riel Casimero of the Philippines. This two has been talking trash when Casimero was still at 118 lbs. So it will like a title eliminator and then the winner facing Inoue.

However, with his debut fight at 122 lbs, it seems that Inoue also bring his power when he move up. So even if there are good fighters in this division, like the 2 and add Akhmadaliev in the equation, I doubt that any of the three can pose a serious threat to Inoue, in my opinion.

I watch from a youtube video that Naoya Inoue will not hastily go up in weight division once he become undisputed champion of the 122 lbs division.  He stated that he wanted to stay in the division in order to fight a stronger boxer.  The handler and owner of the gym where Naoya Inoue is doing his training, stated that if Inoue is successful in his possible upcoming fight against Tapales, there is still Casimero and Luis Neri to fight against so he doesn't think that Inoue will go up in Division yet.

An alibi will not help you in terms of regaining yourself and career from this sport, better to admit and try to work harder and see if by chance you will be able to have that opportunity to regain yourself either to have that rematch or to try your luck in another division, I don't see anyone who watch the fight either during the live fight or even in the replay that will have different opinions in terms of how Inoue dominated him during the fight.

It's being witnessed by everyone how Inoue put him down and take the belts from him. It's a clear fight with a very convincing win for Inoue, proving that he deserves his title as a "Monster".

Well, this is where it is said and made clear that a boxer wins the fight in training, that's why when we put ourselves in evidence of these things, what we do is say that Kambosos has better training and although he was superior, it cost him a lot , but in the end he won, what does that mean for me? that Kambosos his training was harder than his.

I think it's very good that the fight developed like this, because in hindsight things can be good in a fight when it's well matched, that means it was very exciting, and there is no better Reward than that.


Sometimes things can get complicated for a boxer when he is used to doing a lot, the case of Fulton is something that he cannot believe, because he is a boxer who had a lot of confidence, in fact, he should not get out of his astonishment , he must think about everything he said, everything he could have promised and look at how things turned out, very badly, that is why one should not get ahead of things, you must have a little humility, Inoue only did his job , , he is one more boxer, there is no need to complain to him, now it is in the hands of Inoue if he wants to give him a rematch, as in my way of thinking, he should not make him wait so long, he must give him his rematch so that Fulton no longer I made so much noise, and I also laughed at "itching" and whining, I thought that Fulton was going to react in a different way, perhaps with what he had said "He beat me but I still want to prepare myself more for a rematch¨ sounds much more like a gentleman and it doesn't look so bad.

All of us who have ever boxed know that we have experienced defeats, but that makes us grow, because we know that the other one had better training than us, perhaps that other boxer tried much harder to be able to have that result, that resistance and that speed together with strength, there is no more to say, in that case it is enough to assume the loss and have a better and much higher preparation than that of the rival boxer, I do not see any other alternative, to get angry or complain not It's okay, because if there is a rematch, he will surely lose it.

The things that some boxers, when they are professionals, forget these basic principles should be applied, it is very different when they go to the Olympics, they will accept defeat and they know that in 4 years they should prepare much better or they will run into that opponent or with others. of a higher level and a stronger preparation, that is why even if he is a professional he must accept his mistakes, the one who won was because he had better training, there is no doubt about that, a fight is won thanks to his training.

Yeah, I also find the action and statement of Fulton somehow a not sportsman like conduct.  He should just admit that Inoue is the better fighter and he got him, just like when I watched Manny Pacquiao statement after he got KO'ed by Juan Manuel Marquez stating that he really was knocked out cold while laughing.

Fulton just got dominated by Inoue, there is no doubt that Fulton have the skill but Inoue just shown that he is far better boxer than him.

Steph Fulton's only choice is to move on and make a new beginning at the featherweight division because that is his only option, he is not that thin to fit at a lower division like the bantamweight division where he indeed have a chance except fighting another Asian boxer. It's his time to accept and vacate junior feather and fight Figueroa up next, but that is if the latter will give him that chance because he surely need to have a redemption fight first.

Fulton can believe what he wants, but the fans are not blind. We saw how he was dominated by Inoue in every round. He should just accept his defeat, move on, and try to become a champion again. Alternatively, he can go to the Bantamweight division and try to fight Donaire, but I think he will suffer the same fate, as Donaire is a hard-hitting boxer as well. If he cannot accept defeat, then I doubt he will become a champion again. He seems to lack the explosiveness and willingness to improve, making him susceptible to easy losses.

Yeah, it really haven't sink in to his skull that a Asian boy beat his ass to the ground, knock him out and he can't bounce back. Not very sportsman like coming for Stephen Fulton. And that's why a slew of fans are on a offensive on him, even his own fans saying that he should move on because they know he can bounce back but at least give credit where credit is due, that is he lost to Inoue.

Now, moving forward for Inoue, he is looking for Tapales, and at a very young age, he is setting a record that might not be duplicated. To become a 4 belt champion in 2 division. And who knows where he is going to stop. Maybe at 126 lbs, he can still continue and dominant as if it is still the bantamweight division.

Fulton's reaction to this loss seems kind of poor to me. He is not giving any credit to Inoue and instead only talks about himself. If he thinks he deserves a rematch then he is delusional. He didn't win a single round. Inoue has nothing to prove and should just move on. It wasn't that Fulton had an off night as he claims, it's just that Inoue is superior in every way imaginable. Fulton should instead focus on rematching Brandon Figueroa since that was a controversial decision that deserves a second fight.

We will conclude after the fight, almost the fight day and fans who waited for this o happen will now be able to conclude the conversations if who's between these two fighters is the best on this division, unifying all the belts plus the money will surely hype the career of the winner. Looking to see a toe-to-toe executed a game plan for these two champs, more of executions to prove the greatness and not just to punch and run the type of strategy.

It will be too much if ever Fulton's camp will chase for a rematch because I don't think that they stand a chance in a rematch, I mean the first encounter already said it all that Inoue was the better boxer and now it's Fulton's time to climb the next division as that was first plan regardless of the result of this fight.

Moreover, I don't think that Inoue or Bob Arum will still entertain Fulton's camp if they will ask for a rematch because after what happened, they don't want to get themselves involved in a boxer who throws a lot of baseless stuffs and for them, there are lots of interesting fights in their horizon now rather than wasting some time with Fulton.

Yes, if it is a way of promoting himself, it seems to me that it is something quite offensive and at the same time Provocative , I don't know but Crawford I do know that he has fought a lot to get this fight, I don't know how this man can feel when he finally does The eda, personally when there is a type of declaration of this style, I do not like it if it was for me, because as I said before  , it is as if I were seeing him as less , and that he is going to fight to please him when He's not really on his level , so this kind of confidence is good, but he doesn't like him , I don't know , but with everything Crawford has talked about , he has to Beat him.


Well things when it comes to boxing and the different types of people who lose are reactions that can be quite strong, in this case Fulton says the things I understand, why? He is a boxer who cannot lose his reputation, if he affirms that he did not like the result of the fight (despite his poor performance) this can open doors to other fights with other boxers and with the possible position of that he demands another rematch from Inoue, and the Japanese, despite the fact that he is a very calm and very professional person, I am sure that he will give him the opportunity for a good rematch.

Now, having already welcomed Inoue to this beautiful category, it is easier to say that Inoue is a boxer who can easily fight Tapales or whoever he wants, the Japanese is already showing that nothing and nobody is too big for him, this He makes the other boxers put a lot of effort, honestly this great athlete Inoue raises his level wherever he goes, and that's great.

In spite of everything, what I have said is what he wants, a simple and good revenge, worthy of someone like Fulton, for now what they are going to concentrate on, I am sure it will be the fights that are coming for Inoue It is something exciting because the fighters in this category are going to want to measure themselves against him, in part they must be quite curious, because a new boxer in the category and he does these things, it is something that I like a lot , this makes the category more dynamic. I am sure that when Inoue achieves his goals here, he will continue to grow and search for a new category,  for me this Inoue is like a genius of the sport.
