“I am smarter” – Fulton trusts before the rematch of Figueroa

The former Super Bantam weighing champion of WBC and Wbo Stephen ‘Cool Boy Steph’ Fulton Jr (22-1, 8 kos) says that it is more “intelligent” than the WBC’s weight champion of WBC Brandon Figueroa (25-1-1 , 19 kos), and that will take victory in his rematch this Saturday night on February 1 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Four years after his first fight on November 27, 2021, Fulton, 30, and Figueroa will meet for the second time in the billboard of David Benavidez against David Morrell. The event will be shown live in PBC in Main video PPV

Fulton surpassed Figueroa, gaining a 12 round decision in a shaving fight. However, things have changed since then. The rematch will be in 130 instead of 122, and Fulton has been knocked out and wounded. It does not seem the same fighter as it was when he beat Figueroa.

Naoya Inoue dismissed Fulton on July 25, 2023, in an Eighth Ronda knockout in Tokyo, Japan. Inoue’s power caused the fight to be totally unilateral. In Fulton’s last fight against Carlos Castro, surprisingly fell into the fifth round and had to move and hold to survive.

The youth and power of Figueroa could give him the advantage in this fight because he seemed to be hitting harder than in the first fight. If Fulton can no longer have a blow, this will be an early night. Anyway, it could be, because Figueroa has improved.

“Being a world champion of two divisions would mean a lot for my career and would mean a lot to me. I had a great preparation for this fight and everything is on the way to being prepared on Saturday night. I’m going to be ready.

“My mentality, my body and how I feel in this ring will be different this time, but the result will be the same. I will be victorious and I will not let them do not hesitate. I am only worried about getting victory.

“We are both going to be better this time, but I feel that I am the best man in general. I am smarter in the ring and I feel that I have a better skill set. When I use those things, everything comes to my way. “
