July 29: Errol Spence Jr vs Terence CrawfordĪnd coming next weekend is the long-, long-, long-awaited undisputed clash at 147 lbs between Spence (28-0, 22 KO) and Crawford (39-0, 30 KO) at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Every jump in weight for even the best fighters begs the question, “Will they be the same?” Well, we’re going to find out with Inoue against the best possible opponent immediately. The best guy at 122 lbs demanded his next fight be a trip to Japan, crossing normal promotional and broadcast lines, to face “The Monster,” the man who cleaned out 118 in spectacular fashion and is a three-division champion and pound-for-pound star. Fulton, 29, hasn’t achieved near that notoriety, but he’s won and holds two titles in the 122 lb division, and he’s a hell of a good fighter, as equipped as anyone has been in years to maybe really challenge Inoue.įight Grade: A+.
Inoue, 30, has been one of boxing’s most exciting and compelling fighters for years now.
We’re getting things rolling hot this week, starting on Tuesday in Tokyo, as Fulton (21-0, 8 KO) faces Inoue (24-0, 21 KO) in a fight that was meant to happen in the spring, got postponed, and is now set to go.
