AT the Park Theater in Las Vegas on Saturday (November 27), Stephen Fulton beat Brandon Figueroa on a majority decision.

One judge had them level at 114-114, the other two both scored 116-112 for Fulton.

“I was catching him in between every shot he was throwing,โ€ Fulton said. โ€œHe was making it sloppy and rough.โ€

With the victory he unified the WBO and WBC super-bantamweight belts. “I was landing a lot of clean shots,โ€ said Fulton. โ€œHe was throwing wild shots that the fans were enjoying, but he was hitting my arms a lot.โ€

“It was an amazing experience,โ€ he added. โ€œThe judges made their decision and we can run it back.”

“It was the robbery of the year,โ€ Figueroa complained. โ€œThe fans who watched this live know who won. I always come to fight and I did that all night.”

“I hurt him like five or six times,โ€ he insisted. โ€œI put the pressure on for the whole 12 rounds, landed the cleaner shots and hurt him. I thought I only lost four rounds at the most.โ€
