#1 The position of Bruce Carrington can fight the WBC ‘Champion in Rey’ Rey Vargas against the featherweight title as current 126-pound champion Stephen Fulton rises to 130 to stand WBC belt holder O’Shaqui Foster for his tire. The World Boxing Council may order Carrington to fight Vargas for the WBC spring weight title as Fulton goes up to challenge Foster.
Fulton showed a zero interest in defense against the 27-year-old top-promoted ‘Shu Shu’ Carrington (15-0, 9 COs), and felt he had not yet fought any significant fighters during his four-year professional career. It is understandable why Fulton would feel that way, as Carrington has not yet had recognizable opposition.
The ring reports That Carrington Rey Vargas (36-1-1, 22 CO’s) for the WBC springweight belt can face if the champion Fulton (23-1, 8 COs) is until a super featherweight to challenge Foster for its WBC belt.
Some fans think this is another example of top rankings Berlanga-esque strategy to fit their fighters against tomato can Create pseudo stars and target vulnerable champions. In Carrington’s battle last Saturday night, he was linked to what many fans saw as a poor opponent, Enrique Vivas (23-4, 12 COs), and he looked like 24k gold, and destroyed the little famous 2nd level fighter by a third round knockout Fontainebleau Las Vegas, Las Vegas
Espinoza avoided?
What about the matchmaking is that Carrington is positioned to fight for the WBC belt rather than the WBO band held by Rafael Espinozaseen by many as the number 1 fighter in the 126 pound section.
Espinoza is light years better than any of the current champions at featherweight, and now avoids like the pest to what he did to the two -time Cuban Olympic gold medal RobIsy Ramirez.
Carrington was repeatedly asked why he didn’t target Espinoza, but he said he was. However, fans have their doubts because he openly says he wants Nick Ball and Fulton.
Segawa’s impact
Carrington seems to have been linked to a regressive way since its near loss Sulaiman Segawa Last September. The Ugandan Segawa (17-5-1, 5 COs) fought well enough to earn the win, but the judges gave it to Carrington with a majority decision of ten round. I watched the fight, and I won Segawa 7-3. It wasn’t even close. Segawa dominated the 27-year-old prospect of Carrington and showed that he was on another level.
It wasn’t a big shock that A-his fighter, Carrington, got the victory because he was a big favorite. He exposed Segawa big time. Since that battle, the opposition to which Carrington is linked has been far, far below the Segawa level, which indicates that the top rank does not want the chance of being beaten.
Vargas, 34, has not fought for more than a year since he struggled to a controversial 12 round against Nick Ball on March 8, 2024. Rey was later made in a recess champion because of his inactivity associated with an injury. He has not won a fight in two years since beating Mark Magsayo on July 9, 2022 in San Antonio, Mexico.
