Stephen Fulton surprisingly came in 2 lbs overweight at 132 lbs for his fight against WBC super featherweight champion O’Shaquie Foster at Friday’s weigh-in for their undercard fight this Saturday, December 6, at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas.
No title is at stake now
What this means is that Foster’s WBC 130-pound title will not be on the line, with Fulton (23-1, 8 KOs) ineligible to capture the belt if he wins. The fight will still take place. It’s strange that Fulton, who fights at featherweight, would be two pounds overweight when he moved up four pounds in weight.
Foster’s Smirk Says Plenty
During the finish at the weigh-in today, Foster (23-3, 12 KOs) smiled at Fulton and seemed to enjoy the misery of his failure on the scale. It was like a mini victory for O’Shaquie before their fight. It will be interesting to see if Fulton can get a little extra motivation out of this to fight harder than he already planned to.
“Fulton is two pounds overweight, three tries on the scale, and missed it? Come on, what’s going on?” said Tim Bradley on his channelreacting to Stephen Fulton coming in overweight at 132 pounds at today’s weigh-in for his fight against WBC super featherweight champion O’Shaquie Foster this Saturday.
For Fulton to be so off making weight suggests that he either didn’t take the fight as seriously as he should have, or his scale at the gym or at home was off. There is no other explanation.
How weight can affect combat
“Doesn’t this guy (Fulton) go up and challenge the champion (Foster) at 130 pounds? This is a 126-pounder. What’s going on, man? That tells you right there that this guy wasn’t disciplined during camp.
“It can backfire on Fulton. He can be slow, sluggish, fat in there. I already know where I’m going. I’m going down to the body,” Bradley said.
