    Got into an argument about this. I'm convinced Ball will steamroll him and break most clinches Fulton tries to initiate. Fulton is strangly overrated by many

    I think you might be right.

    Ball's physicality, pressure, and superb stamina would certainly make Fulton uncomfortable throughout the fight.

    Ball SD or possibly late stoppage.

    I honestly would love to see this, especially when you have two guys that are content with standing there and trade in the pocket. I think Ball ends up being too strong for Fulton but it would be a fun fight.

    Ball vs Ford is one of the most rewatchable fights of the year. Nick's only 27, Fulton most likely gets melted in a competitive fight that ends in a late Ball TKO or UD.

    Fulton is pretty good but he wouldn't cope against Ball. Maybe he'll nick a couple rounds but Ball will get a comfortable W in this one.

    Cue Miley Cyrus's Wrecking Ball, Nick tears Cool Boy Steph's mandible clean out of his face, which is going to make Fulton very weird looking just standing there with a dangling wrinkly bearded sock where is chin used to be, swaying in the breeze.:sisi1

    I think Fulton is a little underrated after the Inoue loss, he's a good fighter just never the P4P talent some of his fans were suggesting he was going into the Inoue fight.

    Having said that, Ball is a nightmare for anyone who doesn't have the power to stop him walking you down and Fulton wasn't a puncher at 122, he will be even less of a puncher at 126. Fulton probably gets overwhelmed by Ball and either is stopped late or loses a decision.

    Did you see Fulton's match against Carlos Castro at 126? It was a disgusting robbery, and one that Fulton got dropped hard in, and spent the majority of another round out on his feet. So yeah, when a non-puncher in Castro is wrecking him, he's not cut out for 126 at all.:lol:

    I concur with those backing Ball, I think he will go through him like a hot cannonball through butter. Inoue vs Ball is the fight I really want to see.

    As a Fulton fan, I'm actually concerned with his progress. He has hit a complete stall. Now I won't say that I think Ball is better than him ( I don't), but with Fulton's current "fragility", that type style would not be a good style for him to be in with were they to fight say in 3 months. Especially being higher than Fulton's real weight class, he'd be in danger of being stopped by Ball's pressure
