Bruce Carrington says he is willing to fight the WBO springweight champion Rafael Espinoza Following. ‘Shu Shu’ Carrington (16-0, 9 costs) believes that Espinoza came to his fight against Mateus Heita last Saturday night to get attention and to ‘size’ for a fight. He is willing to face him next.
Bruce looked scared during his fight against Heita. He is chased by the powerful Namibian fighter all night and has hit hard. What was surprising was how much stronger heita was than him.
Carrington went into the fight and had a reputation that he had a lot of power, but it was Heita who had a big lead in that area. This is one of the reasons why Carrington ran from him all night. He was uncomfortable to be hit by him.
Carrington won the WBC-TUs-Entire Featherweight title by beating Heita (14-1, 9 COs) by a unanimous 12-round decision through the scores 119-109, 119-109 and 120-108 in the Madison Square Garden Theater in New York.
Espinoza’s strategic appearance
“He came to my fight. I feel like you’re not just coming there just to look. You get there for attention. Yes, ‘says Bruce Carrington to the Ring Magazine channelTalk about WBO springweight champion Rafael Espinoza who arrives at his fight against Mateus Heita last Saturday night in Madison Square Garden Theater.
The top rank should have invited Espinoza to the fight, because he would not have come on his own if he was not asked. Could it be that Top Rank Rafael wants a backup plan in case Carrington can’t get the title against Stephen Fulton, the WBC Featherweight Champion?
They also promote Espinoza, and he has more potential to become a star than Carrington. He is a better fighter, with more power and talent. Top rank can make Espinoza in a bigger name if they feed Carrington. This is a smart step because Carrington does not seem to have the power needed to capture a belt.
“He raised me and got attention. So, I’m going to give you the attention you are looking for. I really want to fight all these champions. It doesn’t matter to me that comes first, ‘Carrington says about Espinoza. “But I really want action. I just like to fight. ‘
Espinoza: Dangerous opponent
With the appearance of fear in Carrington’s eyes during his fight against Mateus Heita last Saturday, he doesn’t want to be in the ring with an even more dangerous man like Espinoza. All the moving Bruce did against Heita showed how scared he was when he was fighting against Punchers. Espinoza would be like Heita x 2. He would be relentless in the pursuit of Carrington around the ring.
“When he comes here to see how I fight, I assume he’s interested in fighting me. Let’s make it happen, ‘says Carrington about Rafael Espinoza. “All of this is playing and waiting. You have a fight (date) for September, and you do not have an opponent yet. Let’s make it happen. Let’s do that. ‘
It would be admirable if Carrington did show a little backbone and take the fight with Espinoza in September. It is not realistic, because Espinoza would finish what Mateus Heita and Sulaiman Segawa started against him.
Carrington’s bluff investigation
Carrington sounds like he’s bluffing. He would not fight against Espinoza after winning the WBC -Tussentage title. ‘Shu Shu’ Carrington’s promoters on the top rank are fishing in the direction of WBC champion Stephen Fulton because he can’t hit and there’s less risk. Carrington did not fight for the interim belt.
“If it’s not him, Stephen Fulton. Let’s make it happen. Interim (WBC feather weight) title. I have the interim title. We can make it happen. You have the usual belt. Let’s get it going, ‘says Carrington.
Obviously, WBC 126-pound champion Stephen Fulton (23-1, 8 COs) is the actual target for Carrington. If he wasn’t, he wouldn’t have arranged in the direction of the WBC and fought for their interim title.
Carrington could have gone after the WBO belt was held by Espinoza. The fact that He did not tell you everything you need to know. Carrington did not want to be entangled with the 6’1 “Espinoza because he is too dangerous. He would ruin his career as with Robeisy Ramirez.
