What Is On The Line In Pacheco vs Fulghum
Pacheco is 25, unbeaten at 26-0 with 19 knockouts, and he defends his WBC Silver and WBO International belts. They are regional titles, but at 168 they matter. A win tonight keeps him right near the front of the queue for a world title shot.
Fulghum, from Houston, is 15-1-1 with 13 knockouts and won his last fight in three rounds back in May. He has been bullish all week and he has nothing to lose. That makes him dangerous.
The Rest Of The Card
The co-feature is a cracker, with Anthony Olascuaga defending his WBO flyweight title against Colombian Olympic medallist Yuberjen Martinez. Olascuaga made 112lbs and Martinez 111.1lbs, so that one is on as well.
Pacheco vs Fulghum Prediction
Let's not beat around the bush. I picked Pacheco by stoppage earlier in the week and the weigh-in has not changed a thing. Fulghum will come out swinging and might win a round or two early, but Pacheco is levels above him in skill. The jab, the reach and the body shots will grind him down.
My prediction for Pacheco vs Fulghum is Pacheco by stoppage between rounds eight and ten. After that, he will be calling for the big names at 168, and with Canelo Alvarez holding the WBC title again, you know exactly who he wants.
