  • Ha, to all the haters that said the monster was trying to weasle out of this fight. He has a legitimate injury but will recover from it, and slightly postponed the fight.

  • Such a respectable transaction between the two camps. Bringing some class to boxing. Two major fights are sidelined due to hand injuries. Comes with the territory. I had no idea this was bout was taking place in Japan. Hopefully, the judges are impartial. At least there is Tank Davis vs Ryan Garcia to look forward to. Hopefully, there are no hand injuries.

    • Since when do we believe everything, we read? For all we know a few people got cursed out behind the scenes. This is what is reported so people like you can sleep good at night.
      “Bringing some class to boxing”

      • Time for you to take a break from the internet sir and socialize with actual people. Assuming you’re not an actual jerk in real life and people can stomach you. Its not that deep.

  • I’m quite sure that Fulton is being paid very well to go to Japan and, besides, he fights for PBC. He’s used to long layoffs between fights.

  • Inoue’s injury is for real, Japan boxing authorities are very strict. I assume is nothing broken, otherwise the fight could have been canceled, well, Fulton has extra time with his belt.

  • He’s going to knock Fulton out à bit later that’s ok for me lol !
