Figueroa vs. Arakawa an unexpected treat

[FinitoElDinamita]

It was ok. Two guys just swinging punches mindlessly without much technicality doesn't excite me all that much. Way too much clinching and sloppy fighting on the inside.

Props to both guys for showing heart though.

Wow, man... you're a tough crowd

I did not think that Figueroa was swinging mindlessly - I did think that there was sloppy fighting, but I didn't think that until later in the fight... at some point, they got into a phone booth and it became a test of will and heart. That type of fight does excite me - more so than two supremely technical counter-punchers in a chess match. Don't get me wrong... Sweet Pea was one of my all-time favorites... but I think that this type of fight has a very wide appeal.

To each his own, though... respect...

Yeah I'm a bit shocked you didn't like it more.

Could not agree more.

You could have put these guys in the same pair of shoes they stayed that close.

One of the fights of the year.
