This was my first time seeing Figeroa as well, but I was rather impressed, even though it was against lower opposition, he still showed amazing reflexs, perfect distance judgement and found every hole available in Rodriguez's defense. With all the skill I saw, I would have a hard time picturing anyone have an easy time with him at 140. Not saying that he is unbeatable by any stretch, but still very impressed.
