NBC Fight Night: Figueroa Jr- DeMarco and Arreola- Kauffman

On rewatch its astonishing how bad Figueroa looked. The second half he was so heavy on the front he couldn't get out of the way even if he wanted to. Two divisions in under a year, blowing the sale tag of champion-trinket. Its like he let himself peak in one fight and said ahh feck it.

I think he just got the wrong guy to fight. Remember Linares was too sharp against Demarco. Then something happened. After Demarco's corner told him what the deal was....shit changed.

Maybe Linares will never be great..BUT...he boxed IMO like a surgeon.

Same with Figueroa: Demarco over came...I hope Figueroa's team can show him the many mistakes he made. He is a tough young hombre for sure.

Figueroa was storing nuts in his cheeks at the end of the fight

LOL

I thought he may have had a broken jaw or cheekbone or something.

Got busted up bad. Sniped by Demarco.
