Nevertheless, Fulton is a very different bread of champion, I mean he held 2 belts already and defeated a great challenger in Brandon Figueroa. So it will be a big test for him to travel to Japan and challenge their home town hero in Inoue. So expecting to be a great fight between this two great champion.
We know that, but how come he is still the underdog despite his achievements? Perhaps people don't see him as an impressive fighter or at the same level as Inoue. Despite Inoue being the challenger, he remains the heavy favorite to win the fight. If we base it on their records, maybe Fulton is truly competitive. However, once they are in the ring, things can be different.
Maybe the second one they think that he's not the same level with Inoue but he can cope up with this and just show his capabilities to Inoue. For now we see that Inoue is crowd favorite so maybe its good time to show to many boxing fans in the world that he is more stronger than him and can knock off this most hype fighter in this era. If Fulton can defeat Inoue in this match well this a huge boost to his career.
