I cannot blame people to have full confidence in Inoue because he earned it. He has too many achievements and he is a guaranteed first ballot in the Hall of Fame even at this current stage of his career. P4p #1, undisputed champion, 3 division champion and he became a champion in only his 6th pro fight.
True, he has beaten the best of the bantamweight division and unified all the belts. So he deserved all the accolades and probably this is one reason why he got a first shot moving up in super bantamweight against the champion.
Fulton on the other hand is very brave by traveling to Japan to defend his belts. Fulton has the size and skills. Fulton has a proven solid chin too after what we saw during the Figuroa fight. So I won't be surprised if Fulton will try to establish himself early as the aggressor to gain respect and not allow Inoue to just hunt him like prey.
Fulton says it doesn't matter as he believed in his talents and tools that he can beat Inoue whether in Japan or in the US. Yes, the fight with Figueroa was a back and forth fight and Brandon almost knock him down. But Fulton shows that he has a tougher chin that we have tought and it might be enough against the power of Inoue who is not yet tested on this division.
There might be no difference at all even if this fight is held somewhere in Japan because Fulton will still be Fulton being the champion while Inoue is still the same, fighting to attain belts or defend his belts. The main reason why Japan has been chose is because it is the best interest for both promoters and organizers as it's already a fact that their profits are already guaranteed because Inoue is indeed an attraction in Japan and lots of people will certainly watch his fight plus there are some foreign people as well who will watch the fight.
I am just saying something, a boxer will always do his job well, which is to fight anywhere, in Japan or anywhere on the globe, and if Inoue shows that he is better than Fulton, he will simply beat him, no matter how many titles he has, he will he will be able to win, whatever it is, so it has nothing to do with it, I see Inoue as a very complete fighter, it doesn't matter what category he is in now, the blows will hurt and weigh more, but for me Inoue is a boxing genius His technique is very good, I'm sure he won't stop Fulton from being the champion, he will see him as just another fighter.
A no biggy because he already had the same situation in the previous weight class where he started from the bottom up until he unified all four belts to be the undisputed champion at 118. But even though Inoue is strong and knows how to make some actual adjustments, no doubt, Inoue himself is having some doubts whether if how will this division treat him because after all, he's just new to this and even if the weight difference is not that big, it's still a different weight class meanwhile he will fight the boxer who is already accustomed to it, a 2-belt champion.
Those are the words of Inoue and I'm glad that he's not feeding his ego because of the status he attained, he still remained to be humble and try to figure out the things that he could face when the fight starts. Still, I'm positive enough that Inoue will do just fine and will be the one who will give another headline as I see him as a boxer who is set to make his name great.
This is what i do like with Inoue on which he do stay on being humble despite of the popularity and acknowledgement when it comes to boxing world but yet its true that being confident would really lead to demise,
considering that you would be fighting into a higher division which means that even if you do dominate the previous one, doesnt mean that you could do the next but we know that there's always chances or progress.
Fighting 2belt champ on what Fulton division belonged isnt something that would be a walk in a part kind or type of fight. For sure Inoue team isnt something that they would really be
that confident when it comes to this.
If ever he would be able to beat up Fulton then unifying all belts on this new division wouldnt really be that so hard.So if he do plans on being undisputed once again then it wont really be that
hard if he would be starting on the top first. Its ideal but somewhat risky but well its their choice.
