so this will be the New territory for Naoya Inoue ? now from 118 He'll climb up to 122 to create a name in higher weight , can't wait to see His domination in this new division .

Looking for Odd to put my bet as i did not expect Him climbing this soon but taking chance to win here is my take now Grin

I think Inoue will become the favorite even though he's a challenger, the way how he showed to everyone the complete domination on bantamweight division is really crazy. I think he wouldn't have a lot trouble to face Fulton, maybe the fight will end in decision. I believe the odds for Inoue to win via decision would be quite high around 2.00x - 3.00x.

But it seems Fulton will face Figueroa first on February 26, if he lose this fight could be cancelled and Inoue will fight Figueroa instead.

This might sound a little bit off but if we do look into that recent fight against butler then it did really go to distance and i would assume out that Fulton would might be still using up on the same
stance or approach once he would fight Inoue inside the ring.

this is something to prove inside the ring in fight day mate , while Fulton has a good stuff also yet Inoue has been the one who will take this fight Cheesy

I watched some clips and highlights of Stephen Fulton's previous fights and all I can say is;

"There's still time for him to think twice to withdraw from the fight against Naoya Inoue" Grin

Not degrading the champion here but Inoue will surely beat the champion Fulton here. How can Fulton even able to keep up with Inoue's insane speed while throwing strong punches at the same time? If Inoue will able to crash the defense of Fulton, say hello now to his deadly body blow, and for sure Fulton will feel that pain for the first time in his career.

this is why i think the odds will favour on inoue here even if fulton is the current belt holder for this weight division. well, if you are very sure about inoue's win on this match, take this advantage and place your bets once bookies opened their betting lines, right? but do you think this will go the distance? i am more on betting other money lines here.

This might sound a little bit off but if we do look into that recent fight against butler then it did really go to distance and i would assume out that Fulton would might be still using up on the same
stance or approach once he would fight Inoue inside the ring.They do have different styles and i dont like Butlers style and since this is really on different weight division
then it might really affect up his speed and mobility but lets see on how they would be making adjustments.

Inoue just announced vacating the bantamweight then instantly got a match with Fulton. This isn't a final date yet so maybe the venue can also change later, it's not to Fulton's advantage to fight in Japan.

According to one tweet Fulton already suggested they fight at 126. This is to put Inoue at a disadvantage while Inoue goes fighting without tuneup at 122. That's the first image I saw Inoue smiling by the way, looks like a K-pop singer.

You still able to see that smiling face? hehe. *I agree on that one though*

Is this upcoming fight in May or there's no final for this thing? 122 lbs wont be that much of an issue i guess but for 126 then i highly doubt that it would be giving some significant effect on Inoue.
Just like the rest been saying that i was for Akhmadaliev first before Fulton but it seems that they are in a hurry and i dont have doubts that they are really that confident
and see up some ways on how to beat up Fulton. This do really looks interesting.

Even if Fulton is the champion, I don't see that he will be the one to give Inoue his first lost. He is not a heavy hitter in my opinion. His game plan was to play hard and grind, toe to toe. But that strategy won't work against Inoue because once Inoue touches that chin, Fulton might go down.

I remember when I shared this Bob Arum's statement before about the possibility of a clash between Inoue and Fulton in the future if the former will decide to move up weight if he wins the bantamweight unification against Paul Butler;

"It’s Cruel And Unusual Punishment To Ask Anybody To Fight Inoue"

Some critics against Arum described that statement as he's just protecting Inoue that's why he can't answer directly if he will allow that to happen. These critics think that Fulton will stop Inoue's stardom that's why Arum can't provide a definite response.

Now that this fight is now materialized, and a rare situation where both Top Rank and TGB agree to do business, these critics that favor Fulton got what their want. I also not seeing Fulton will be the first boxer to give the Japanese monster's first defeat.

Can't believe Inoue's promoter, Top Rank CEO Bob Arum allow one of his favorite cash cows to go directly facing one of the Super Bantamweight Champions after moving up and won't do some test first facing other boxers here at a lower rank. Maybe they consider Fulton as not really a threat to Inoue so no more testing the environment but facing directly the champion.

Because Bob Arum believed that Inoue can beat Fulton in the super bantamweight. Not saying that Fulton is a weak champion, but Arum knows that Inoue has the advantage in this fight. Fulton has been saying that he wants to move up to 126 lbs, perhaps he has issues with his weight already. If that is the case then he might have a problem with against Inoue.

The fight is also said to take place in Japan and Inoue will have the crowd advantage again.

This is another advantage for Inoue, he will be fighting again in Japan, there's no adjustment in the environment for him.

Who believes here that Fulton might be the one who will give Inoue his first loss? If that happened, the much-awaited fight by the PH boxing community and enthusiast, Inoue vs Casimero, will be more possible to happen if the latter will win his next fight in that division.

I was not expecting Inoue to challenge Stephen Fulton first! I was speculating that he will challenge Akhmadaliev then challenge Fulton for a unification superfight. It appears they want to first take the more difficult challenge hehe. Inoue would be making more money if he had half of the super bantamweight already through Akhmadaliev before challenging Fulton.

In any case, this will be a very entertaining year for the sport of boxing! Tank Davis vs. Ryan Garcia, Tyson Fury vs. Usyk and Spence vs. Crawford!

If this fight will fix and inoue will face Stephen fulton then this is a good fight cause two champion will face of but inoue will go up higher weight in order to matchup fulton. This is a new journey for the monster inoue and if he win in this match then he has many chances to compete in higher division. For sure inoue can do it and can be unstoppable in higher weight.

This fight is one of the biggest event in the world of boxing .

Wow, I just read about Inoue leaving his current weight division and now he gets this fight. It seems like this was already in the works months before this announcement, and Fulton being the perfect contender because the man isn't on the superstar level in the world of boxing, but he's relatively known by a lot in the boxing world due to his flawless record and above-average footwork. I don't see Fulton winning against Naoya Inoue if it comes to straight clashing, but if he uses his reach and footwork well, he may just win against the Japanese monster via decision. Although knowing Inoue, he probably would go for the kill early on and seal the deal.

Fulton has super fast hands but lacks power, Inoue the monster will just eat him, Fulton is very good against weak opponents who cannot allude to his quick punches now he is going up against a fighter who is super quick super fast and has a superpower in both hands, I don't see Fulton be a threat to Inoue's reputation, he will just another stepping stone to Inoue's road to greatness, it's good that Fulton steps up to accept Inoue's challenge, there's no need for Inoue for a tune fight before he fights for the title in his new division, he can easily wipe all oppositions here in this division.

Good start for Inoue, directly he proceeds to challenge the champion.

I guess this is the time that we will see a good betting odds for Inoue, because he is up against a champion, and if he will be the favorite, I believe he will only be a slight favorite. However, as a fan of Inoue who lives to bet on him getting great value, I'm hoping that he will be the underdog so a moneyline bet would be very attractive.

I thought I will see an Inoue vs Casimero fight, but this one is way better as he is fighting a real champion. Inoue is very dominant in the bantamweight division, but we haven't seen him fight in this new division, so we might see a different result.

Great start for the year, he will have plenty of time to prepare and maybe he will have more fights this year.

I will still hope for him to fight Casimero this year, so they'll be settled and won't throw bad words at each other.

This is a great fight for Inoue, fighting against a champion and undefeated, this is surely not an easy fight for him. However, despite my belief that it's not an easy fight, I would still be rooting for him to win, simply because I followed his career and I find him exciting to watch.

I think I will say that Fulton is a better matchup for Inoue, it's a tailor fight for him and Inoue has all the advantage and I might be thinking that he will score a knockout against Fulton.

Fulton doesn't have the power and as far as speed goes, I have Inoue as the faster between the two.

So it's a right choice for Inoue to get to him and take that belt easy, IMHO.

I doubt this will happened due to the weight adjustment is very disadvantageous against Naoya. He probably becomes slower while his technique can't adjust to his speed. I'm surprised about this match because Naoya team choose the long shot of building his career before taking a big fight like this. Fulton is not an explosive boxer like Naoya but he is good at getting points against a beast like Naoya that is adjusting his weight. I definitely vote for Naoya if this match will be on lower weight but 126 is already a huge weight increase for him to perform like what he did in the Bantamweight division. I'm not familiar on new boxer anymore but only Pacquiao is the only boxer that I know that is still very good despite a significant weight adjustment.

I'm sure the fight will be in Japan since Naoya is the crowd favourite in this match. His demand will surely be answered for a better profit of this match.

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.

I don't also see Inoue having issues on 122 lbs, and I think he can bring his power to this division (I hope others will agree with my observation). What I really like about Fulton is his never say die mentality, against Brandon Figueroa, he shows a lot of heart and win that fight in the judges score card. But I don't think he can last against the power of Inoue. Again even in 122 lbs, he might be even powerful in this division because he doesn't have to weight drain himself just to make the desired weight. Now he can eat without issues and then go to the gym train hard every day. Fulton's tenacity will be tested here.

Inoue did the right thing going up and immediately challenging the toughest guy in that division this is a mark of a guy who loves challenges and legacy because he knows he can beat just anybody, Inoue has the making of a great fighter in the tradition of Manny Pacquiao, he can conquer the 126 level because he can carry his power and speed on that level, he just needs to add muscles, he can easily do that because it's still within the range of his body frame, I expect him to be the favorite to win the fight because right now no one comes close to Inoue.

Stephen Fulton is a 28-year-old player and Naoya Inoue is a 29-year-old player. Both cannot be considered as Yang. And both are old enough. Naoya Inoue fighting style is very different from Fulton and he is a very smart boxer. Naoya Inoue will take points by knockout and he always fights with his smarts. He does not waste his calories fighting unnecessarily. So maybe he will be able to win the match. If it is not granted

They are still in their prime is that what you are trying to say. However, boxing is based on power and we have seen the Inoue is called the Monster because he has been knocking his opponents in his last couple of fights.

Of course, it's not granted, no one here assure of a sure win, but if we will see the odds here, if ever going to be listed by sport bookies, we have no doubt that Inoue will be the outstanding favorite because of him being the superior fighter although he is the one going up in weight here.
