RBR ***Official*** Sherdog Sanctioned Return of SBC Leo vs Fulton RBR 1/23

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Angelo Leo and Tramaine Williams finally meet for WBO junior featherweight championship on Saturday, Jan. 23.

Angelo Leo and Stephen Fulton finally meet inside the ring in a battle of undefeated fighters for the WBO junior featherweight title from the Mohegan Sun Arena, Montville, Conn.

Leo and Fulton were set to clash for the vacant WBO belt at the beginning of August. Two days before the contest, Fulton revealed he tested positive for COVID-19.

Leo (20-0, 9 KOs) stayed on the card and took on Tramaine Williams, who was moved up from the undercard. The 26-year-old Leo was the aggressor throughout to win by unanimous decision to claim the vacant belt.

"It's been a crazy year for everyone, but to say I walked out of 2020 a world champion is truly incredible and humbling," Leo said in a press release. "I spent 16 years training for that moment to become a champion, and here I am, preparing for my next camp for my first defense top of 2021."

Fulton (18-0, 8 KOs) steps back into the ring for the first time since a January 2020 unanimous decision victory over Arnold Khegai. The 26-year-old is happy to return to action and win the first major world title of his career.

"I feel like everything happens for a reason because I'm 10 times more ready now than I was the first time around," Fulton said. "I'm excited to fight for the title, and I expect nothing but Angelo Leo to be himself and fight his fight on January 23."

Leo vs Fulton results and highlights: Stephen Fulton Jr wins first world title, Ra’eese Aleem and Rolando Romero dominate

Stephen Fulton Jr picked up his first world title, claiming the WBO junior featherweight title with a wide but competitive win over Angelo Leo in tonight’s action-packed, grueling Showtime main event.

Fulton (19-0, 8 KO) took the W and the belt on scores of 118-110, 119-109, and 119-109 from the official judges. Bad Left Hook had it 118-110 on Wil Esco’s card, and 119-109 on my card. It was a clear-cut victory for the 26-year-old Philly fighter, but Leo (20-1, 9 KO) definitely fought his heart out all the way, he just wasn’t the better man in this one.

What doomed Albuquerque’s Leo, also 26, was that he found no real estate where he had a clear advantage. Fulton is well-known for a heavy, fast, sharp jab, and we saw that used very effectively throughout the fight, with Fulton rather easily able to control distance when he wanted. That was expected.

Less expected was Fulton fighting as much in the trenches as he did, as that figured to be Leo’s domain. And Leo did fight well inside with Fulton, but Fulton was no slouch in close, either; at best for Leo, the inside exchanges were about 50/50, and that just wasn’t enough. His corner were clear with him by the later rounds that he absolutely needed a knockout to win, but Leo is no big puncher, either, and the writing was on the wall. That said, he never gave up on the fight, and remains a real contender at 122.

The fight’s pace was astounding even if nothing overly dramatic happened, and Fulton in particular showed a crazy impressive gas tank, throwing a total of 1,183 punches, which dwarfed Leo’s own big output of 810 punches thrown. And Fulton wasn’t loading up on that early, either. He never threw less than 79 punches in a round, by CompuBox count, and in the last three rounds of the fight, he was still throwing 81, 109, and 88 punches. He threw over 100 punches in four rounds overall, including 104 in the second, 123 in the fifth, and 129 in the sixth.

Fulton landed 364 of those 1,183 (31%) total punches, and 320 of 913 (35%) power shots. Leo landed 262 of 810 (32%) overall, and 238 of 688 (35%) power punches. Fulton’s 913 power punches thrown are the third-most in 122-pound history for CompuBox-counted fights, and the combined 1,601 power punches thrown also comes in third in CompuBox division history.

I didn't have any issues thankfully and since I was recording it I wouldn't have switched over because like to watch cards in their entirety.

On a different note I'm surprised how this site didn't crash. A few others are having some issues but it's running smoothly for me

Nice. COVID has to be a blessing in disguise for message boards. The Houston sports forum I also post on has had a huge spike in traffic as well

It's cool. Usually make a RBR so you don't have to start the actually fight conversation 100 posts in from months back discussing / chatting about all different stuff...

I think ppl didn't expect one for this fight.

I put it together late... Really, the only fights we actually need an RBR for are of course Canelo, the big 3 heavyweights, Pacquiao and the bigger names in title fights that will drawl the 1000+ post / thread limit... maybe another Mike Tyson exhibition... and now maybe the Paul brothers, they seem to be gaining interest on the net.

I say do one for every event that's a main fight/championship fight/ or if it's televised.
