Stephen Fulton showed his class today, congratulating O’Shaquie Foster for his victory over him last Saturday night of their battle for the WBC interim lightweight title on the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas.
Fulton (23-2, 8 KOs) looked lost contained in the ring, stumbling around, missing punches, and totally overmatched against Foster (24-3, 12 KOs). It was speculated to have been a competitive fight, but there was nothing concerning the fight that resembled an evenly matched bout.
Weight Problem Exposed
Fulton looked fat in the course of the fight, showing a belly him. It’s clear from his appearance that he’d eaten well during camp.
Nearly a Shutout
The scores were 118-110, 119-109, and 117-111. It might have been lots wider than those scores, because Foster appeared to win 11 of the 12 rounds. The one round that Fulton fought well was the second. Apart from that, it was all O’Shaquie.
On social media, 31, Fulton said he would “be back higher.” Nevertheless, fans don’t know what he meant by that. He lacks the facility and speed to return to the 135-lb division, and 130 can be all improper for him as well.
Can Fulton Return to 126?
What’s worrisome is that Fulton couldn’t make the super featherweight limit, coming in two lbs over at 132 lbs. If he can’t make weight for that division, his hopes of returning to the 126-lb division are slim. He still holds the WBC featherweight title, and presumably, he’ll be returning to defend it.
Fulton Shows Class in Defeat
“Congrats to Oshaq, had an awesome game plan and executed well. As for me, y’all already know I’ll be back and higher! I at all times do,” said Stephen Fulton on X, congratulating O’Shaquie Foster for his victory over him last Saturday night in San Antonio, Texas.
Safer Options at Featherweight
If Fulton can by some means discover a method to return to 126, he must give attention to fighting the easy-to-hit, slower guys like Carlos Castro, Nathaniel Collins, and Joet Gonzalez. He’s in his element against those kinds of fighters.
Should you put Fulton in with someone good like Sulaiman Segawa, Mirco Cuello, and Angelo Leo, he’ll likely lose. He should permanently steer clear of WBO champion Rafael Espinoza. That may be a disaster for Fulton.
