Bruce Carrington (15-0, 9 costs) called out featherweight champions Nick Ball and Stephen Fulton after his third round victory over Enrique Vivas (23-4, 12 COs) last Saturday night Fontainebleau Las Vegas, Las Vegas.
The WBA champion Ball and WBC champion Fulton is unlikely to agree to fight Carrington because he is too risky for his own good. Financially, it does not make sense that he is facing him.
Rafael Espinoza’s risk
The champion who is likely to fight against Fulton, WBO belt holder Rafael Espinoza, is someone who considers the Brooklyn, ‘Shu Shu’ in New York, not a ‘attractive’ battle. It can be interpreted as a code for ‘Espinoza is too dangerous.’
Top Rank Promotors Espinoza and Carrington. They would make that fight if Bruce was prepared to face the 6’1 “Espinoza. Through its sounds, however, Carrington does not seem interested at fighting him.
With the way Carrington struggled to defeat Sulaiman Segawa on September 27 last year and winning a majority decision of ten round, Espinoza would be a nightmare for him. If 27-year-old Carrington is not ready for him now, he will never do it.
The exclamations
‘Nick Ball, yes, I want it. WBC Stephen Fulton, I want it. Let’s get this job in, Bro, ‘Bruce Carrington says to the ESPN After his second round about Enrique Vivas last Saturday night in Las Vegas. “I want to fight everyone. I am now the best in all the sanctions bodies. Stop running. Stop playing. Let’s get this job.

Stop playing, ‘says Carrington about WBO spring weight champion Rafael Espinoza. “You have to ask him if he wants to fight. I was fighting with someone. Let’s get this job. I bend nobody. You call yourselves champions. Come fight the best. Come see me. ‘
It is not going to work for Carrington to call out Fulton because these guys have better options, and they can make a lot more money to wait on Naoya Inpue as he moves to 126. Why would they want to fight a 27-year-old prospect if they can get a big payday against inoue?
“I feel like I’m putting pressure on them now to fight against me,” Carrington said to have Fightype over the three champions at 126. “I was ready. Like I said. I have called him (WBO featherweight champion Rafael Espinoza) since last year. I called out all the champions. The same pressure as I applied to everyone.
