Looking at the elite fights coming up this month ,,,Fulton at 4.0 aka 3/1 with the bookies v Inoue seems tempting, obviously its likely Inoue wins by home town robbery, but this feels a little like the misplaced contempt towards Bivol against Canelo.

The monster should be fav, but for me I have 60/40 in his fav nothing more.

I don't think that comparison is at all relevant. Inoue is simply a more complete all around fighter than Canelo, and Bivol also gets plenty of knock outs and has respectful power, unlike Fulton.

Canelo's gameplan of late has been low output, accurate stalking mixed with very good defence.

Fulton is nothing like Bivol. Fulton is a slick inside American style boxer, somewhat similar to Andre Ward, but with less power. Bivol is not at all an inside fighter, he is basically a robot in terms of distance control.

Inoue is better at distance than Fulton, better at mid range and I do think his power will carry.

Fulton could win by staying on Inoue's chest the whole night, but to do that he'll need to get inside past Inoue's jab and short right hand which...well it's probably the best short right hand in the game so...

Fulton beating Inoue would be up there with boxing’s biggest upsets

Jake will batter him obviously and hopefully it bombs on PPV.

Did Hughes get robbed last night?

Just having seen the weigh ins I'm kinda shocked by how much bigger Fulton looked.

I didn't expect that with only a 4 lb jump

Inoue looked much smaller at the weigh in and wasn’t particularly big at his previous weight

 

[Niall]

Early days but pleased I did not bet Fulton to win this, had a very small bet on a price error a bookie put on Inoue MD

I don’t believe that he’s ever recovered from his car accident

Guy should be dead, now sounds punch drunk etc

Yeah fair enough down three times will be a miracle to go the distance .

Who next for Crawford?

Spence at least should have made enough money to retire after this.

Ennis at welterweight but that’s a really dangerous fight & nobody knows the latter

Maybe Charlo if he loses to Canelo

 

[hendrix]

Gee that was pretty brutal to watch. Errol very brave trying to keep doing his volume punching thing while getting picked off repeatedly.

 

[Niall]

Beterviev v Smith off but KSI v Tommy Fury announced so swings and roundabouts.

 

[social]

That’s dodgy

Should have to fight for the a title

Hopefully they make Hrgovic v Joshua, but to risky IMO with the Saudi pay day, suspect we may get Chisora or some other mug instead sadly.
