Undefeated 122-pound world champion “Cool Boy Steph” Fulton Jr. successfully challenges former WBC Champion Brandon Figueroa and secures the unified Super Bantamweight World Championship.
In a non-stop action fight between undefeated super bantamweight world champions, Stephen Fulton Jr. unified WBO and WBC titles with a majority decision victory over Brandon Figueroa live on SHOWTIME Saturday night in a Premier Boxing Champions event from Dolby Live at Park MGM in Las Vegas.
This showdown was set up earlier this year with each fighter capturing a world title by defeating an undefeated opponent, as Fulton (20-0, 8 KOs) bested Angelo Leo in January to capture the WBO belt, while Figueroa (22-1-1, 17 KOs) stopped Luis Nery in May to earn his WBC title. The two champions put on a memorable display, combining to throw over 1,700 punches across 12 rounds according to CompuBox.
“I was catching him in between every shot he was throwing,” said Fulton. “He was making it sloppy and rough.”
“I hurt him like five or six times,” said Figueroa. “I put the pressure on for the whole 12 rounds, landed the cleaner shots and hurt him. I thought I only lost four rounds at the most.”
In a surefire “Fight of the Year” contender, it was Figueroa’s activity (1,060 punches thrown) against Fulton’s accuracy (37% connect rate) squaring off throughout a narrow fight in which neither man was able to sustain momentum for long. In rounds four through seven, the fighters were separated by just two punches landed (103 to 101 for Figueroa).
“I was landing a lot of clean shots,” said Fulton. “He was throwing wild shots that the fans were enjoying, but he was hitting my arms a lot.”
In a memorable sixth frame, each fighter landed nothing but power shots with Figueroa connecting on 36 to Fulton’s 34. In a frantic 10th round, Figueroa looked to have Fulton hurt after numerous flurries of power punches. However, Fulton was able to recover in the final two rounds to win both the 11th and 12th on two judges’ cards.
That final push helped Fulton hold on with the score of 116-112 from two judges overruling a 114-114 card. After the fight, both fighters believed they had done enough to win and were open to battling again in a rematch.
“It was an amazing experience,” said Fulton. “The judges made their decision and we can run it back.”
“It was the robbery of the year,” said Figueroa. “The fans who watched this live know who won. I always come to fight and I did that all night.”

Shoepac
02.12.2022funny how most of the warnings were going to Fulton, when Brandon is throwing body shots below the belt line, holding jus as much as Fulton, hitting after the ref says stop, using his head on the inside etc., these refs be bias af and most of us knows moras history with controversial fights ! congrats to cool boy 4 thuggin out this handicap match!!!

30.11.2022figueroa is trash. he is the champ at this weight because he is a weight bully. If fig stops draining hisself so much to fight at this low weight maybe hell have power to knock guys out with punches instead of trying to lay on everybody. Figure should be fighting at 130 at very least where he would get killed.

30.11.2022Fulton had clean shot while feg goes on like duracell with shot of come what may!
El bori
30.11.2022If they fought again Fig would lose badly. His style is very one dimensional and he uses very little head movements while pressing the action. He’s a beast but more calculated pressure and the use of his reach would do him major justice

Righteousness Personified
30.11.2022Classless and immature. He wanted a rematch, was offered the rematch, now he's less than enthusiastic about the opportunity for a rematch. Bitched and complained and ultimately walked away from the opportunity to run it back. Make it make sense yall.

29.11.2022People Saying Fulton Was Holding . That's False . Fulton Has Never Been Known For Holding . Figueroa However Is Known For His "Lean On Your Opponent" Style & Was Constantly Trying To Hold , Wrestle & Punch During The Clinch Because He Doesn't Have Any Boxing Skills & He Was Afraid Of Fultons Free Hand At Distance . Burying His Head In Fultons Chest Because Fulton Had The Advantage At Mid Range.

28.11.2022Figueroa threw more punches, but fulton landed cleaner, sounds like how Isaac Cruz blocked most of davis punches and had cleaner punches against davis in their fight, yet they gave that idiot davis the win over Cruz, its bullshit, time to put the fights in Mexico where this cheating shit won't go down anymore in the U.S., boxing has a international boxing order, it's not just for the U.S.
Will will
28.11.2022If was Mayweather the Mexican would have slaughtered him I can't say go back to Mexico but back to lost angels where yall do damage to my race
