Bozy Ennis revealed fascinating insights into Stephen Fulton’s upcoming fight against Inoue and the challenges he may face. Speaking to Fight Hype, Ennis said:
Fulton… You know, he can punch. And we know Inoue, whatever his name is, can punch. But he’s [Inoue] moving up in weight. I think it’s going to be a good fight, but I got the scooter [Fulton] winning, of course,” Ennis shared confidently about the much-anticipated matchup.
This is a battle of heavy hitters. With Fulton’s ability to land impactful blows and Inoue’s impressive track record of knockouts, this fight has the potential to be a boxing spectacle. Yet, there’s one key factor that Ennis believes could play a significant role – Inoue’s weight shift.
Inoue’s decision to move up in weight is a risky move. It can result in increased power, but it can also affect a boxer’s speed, endurance, and agility. Despite Inoue’s proven punching power, this change could potentially tip the scales in Fulton’s favor, according to Ennis.
The Home Turf Advantage
“He’s [Fulton] going over and fighting him on his lane or his turf and taking that opportunity. That’s where you got to be careful about. If it goes to the distance and it’s a close fight, you know who’s gonna get the fight,” Ennis pointed out.
It’s a bold move, no doubt. Fighting in unfamiliar territory might boost a boxer’s credibility, but it could also introduce a potentially biasing factor, especially in a close contest.
So how does a fighter ensure a decisive victory, despite the odds? Ennis shared an age-old wisdom within the boxing world.
“To shut all that down, you got to knock him out. If you want to shut that down, once you knock somebody out, you ain’t got to worry about that no more.”
Indeed, a knockout victory is the best way to ensure a clear win, nullifying any bias that may otherwise come into play. It’s a clear demonstration of a fighter’s superiority, leaving no room for debate.
