With surgical precision, Naoya Inoue outboxed Stephen Fulton in their super bantamweight title fight on Tuesday, July 25. Inoue's jab was a powerful catalyst for success from the get-go as he dictated the tempo of the fight, pummeling Fulton and capturing the Philadelphian's WBC and WBO title belts.
In this podcast episode, sports reporter Colin Morrison and SportsLook editor Ed Odeven share their overall thoughts on both boxers' tactics throughout the match at Ariake Arena and analyze the key moments in the fight leading up to Inoue's eighth-round technical knockout of Fulton.
