Prediction: Naoya Inoue on Points
Result: Naoya Inoue by Stoppage
What looked to be a great fight and one that I struggled to pick a winner for turned out to be a one sided mismatch in Inoue’s favour. I’m still shocked after that stoppage as I knew if someone got stopped it would be Fulton but I just didn’t expect Inoue to pull it off. Fair play to both men for chasing legacy and putting it all on the line.
