That said, Angelo Leo is already a world champion, and it’s time to test himself against a boxer of similar stature. It will also be a fight between two orthodox pugilists. So, we can expect Fulton and Leo to understand each other’s game to the core. Both the undefeated boxers appear confident before the fight. Here’s how their in-ring matchup can look like.
Stephen Fulton vs Angelo Leo- What can we expect?
It’s safe to predict a long-lasting fight between them, as both the boxers have comfortably gone to the distance in their professional careers by now. While a world title is at stake, none of them would like to risk their chance by putting unnecessary action in the primary stage.
Stephen Fulton might take a lot of time to launch his best shot. Akin to his earlier fights, where he has defeated the unbeaten boxers, Fulton knows what it takes. But, Leo may not wait for a long time as he has the urge to land haymakers and can steadily go for them.
Leo should acknowledge Fulton’s footwork and flexibility before making the bigger moves. There’s no denying, ‘El Chinito’ has the power to stop ‘Cool Boy Steph’. However, he should not opt to test his chin in a world title fight in order to earn a stoppage. Especially when Fulton is confident about winning.
In an interaction with Athletic, Fulton shed light on his opponent and said, “I’m the better fighter. I’ve fought the better opposition. I’m more skilful, more versatile and I’m the smarter fighter.”
Amid all these stats and analysis, both the boxers are in with a shot and will want to retain the ‘0’ next to their name.
Prediction:- Stephen Fulton beats Angelo Leo via unanimous decision
