Naoya Inoue Vs Stephen Fulton Fight Odds

• Naoya Inoue -400
• Stephen Fulton +300

Naoya Inoue’s legal sports betting favoritism is understandable, as the Japanese fighter coined “The Monster” is 24-0 with 21 knockouts in his 10-year career. Inoue won titles in three different weight classes and won the undisputed bantamweight championship against Paul Butler before moving up.

Now, Inoue will fight at heaviest weight in his career. The -110 odds at legal boxing betting sites for Naoya Inoue to defeat Stephen Fulton by KO, TKO, or DQ predict the extra weight won’t slow Inoue down.

Still, Stephen Fulton being a +300 underdog seems long considering he has beaten all 21 opponents he faced. Fulton is 10-0 against undefeated fighters like Naoya Inoue, while Inoue has only beaten one undefeated boxer.

Betting on the Bovada Sportsbook method of victory odds lists the best value for the fight to go to decision.

Method of Victory Odds

Even Naoya Inoue admitted himself that Stephen Fulton will be a tough fight, telling reporters that “He has stamina to go all 12 rounds. He is definitely a powerful opponent.”

Fulton is the unified world super bantamweight champion and is a master at defending himself. He has about two inches of height and three inches of reach on Inoue and poses a much bigger threat than legal online sportsbooks anticipate.

Instead of betting the moneyline on which fighter will win, +240 odds for Inoue or +375 for Fulton to win by decision are likely outcomes with better value.

Betting if the Fight Will Go the Distance

• Yes EVEN
• No -130

All five of Stephen Fulton’s 12-round contests went the distance. In a dominant victory against unified world champion Daniel Roman, Fulton limited Roman to a 17% connect ratio on 673 shots.

Fulton’s notable defense can neutralize Inoue’s knockout power and force the fight to the distance.
