    Now for the vacant WBC Lightweight interim belt? Why??? Just why would you reward someone for MISSING ****ing weight.

    This is some damn bull**** right here. I thought Fulton was gonna win, but his shape is terrible. He was the one who wanted the fight, and even forfeited part of his purse to make the fight in December, on the undercard of this event. I want Foster to win it. Clearly PBC are aiming to make Tank vs Fulton for the full title when Stevenson beats Lopez.

    WAR FOSTER! :ggg

    I have a lot of respect for Fulton and I like him as a fighter, but this is just unprofessional. He looks in pretty rough shape, and 2lbs is a big margin to miss weight by at this level. Foster is the one who has a history of struggling to make the weight, so this is all really unexpected from Fulton and pretty out-of-character. I hope he wins but he's dropped his own stock and the value of his win should he come out on top.

    I'm generally not surprised by sanctioning body corruption, but this is egregious. It seems if you pay enough and miss weight, they will just pull another world title out of their backside for you to fight for.

    I agree. The WBC is sinking to new lows.

    So why not give both 130 and 135 to Foster if he wins. He made weight for 130.

    That is essentially what has happened I think. If Foster wins then he retains his 130 strap, but also wins the interim 135 title as well, as far as I can tell. If Fulton wins, then the 130 title becomes vacant and he wins the 135 title. It's all a very silly and muddy affair.

    They actually managed to hit yet a new low, truly amazing. How do they keep doing this?

    I mean they actually outdid my dumb idea I was joking about earlier in this thread. I have to tip my hat at their absolute shamelessness

    He's WAY too fat for division. Little dudes in boxing are almost always absolutely jacked. He's got no visible abs, looks puffy. He absolutely showed up to camp like 30lbs overweight.

    He does look like he has a full stomach. Putting the full in Fulton.

    Fulton looks out of shape. Like he moved to 130 so he doesn’t have to put in the work.

    its obvious the problem was prep. this isnt his natural fighting weight. but the weight bully rants are funny. weight bullying not helping him vs inoue is the reason theres nothing unfair about fighting at any weight you can make.

    Bookies still have Foster a slight edge.

    If Fulton wins it's going to be hard celebrating his victory.
