Steven Fulton vs Naoya Inoue – GET READY!
By Eddie Sanchez
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a FIGHT coming up.
Undefeated Steven Fulton (21-0, WBC & WBO Super Bantamweight Champion) steps into the squared circle to defend his belts against the formidable Japanese warrior, Naoya Inoue (24-0, Undisputed Bantamweight Champion), in a battle that promises to be nothing short of extraordinary and to put it simply: career-defining. Inoue will attempt to capture titles in a fourth-weight division, while Fulton attempts to defend his throne against the #1 P4P fighter in the world.
Steven “Cool Boy” Fulton, hailing from the fighting city of Philadelphia, has captivated fans for years with supreme skill and unwavering determination. Fulton is simply an artist inside the ring, with his lightning-fast combinations and razor-sharp footwork. His technical proficiency and ring intelligence have allowed him to navigate the waters of the super bantamweight division unscathed and searching for his defining moment as a champion.
That moment is personified through Naoya “Monster” Inoue, whose power has proven to be devastating, with thirteen of his previous fourteen fights ending before the final bell (KO, TKO or RTD). Blessed with blistering power, impeccable timing, and an indomitable spirit, Inoue has carved out a reputation as one of the most ferocious fighters to lace up the gloves, and hopes to continue this trend to go down in history as one of the most versatile fighters of all time. Becoming champion in four weight classes would put him in elite territory.
This fight will be a classic tale of the boxer versus the puncher. Will Fulton’s slick maneuverability be enough to outwit the Inoue, or will Inoue’s power unleash devastation upon his formidable foe? One thing is certain – the result is guaranteed to be a spectacle for the ages.
Tune into ESPN this coming Tuesday, July 25 to see who will prevail. Marlon Tapales (37 – 3, WBA & IBF Super Bantamweight Champion) will be catching the fight ringside to (hopefully) encourage the victor to challenge him for the shot as an undisputed champion. The stakes are high, the tension is palpable, and the atmosphere will be electric. Fulton versus Inoue is a clash that demands all of our attention.
This IS what boxing is all about.
