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

[Spicoli]

He looks like he can knock him out, 5-4 now Fig. he has the numbers but see DeMarco churning him up inside, jarring snapping shots. Needs to mash the gas! You literally cannot miss Figueroa

[Hulk]

Arreola was lucky to get that decision in a fight that really put fury vs Klitschko to shame.

Demarco was the better fighter but couldn't quite seal the deal n go for it so he lost on points barely IMO or a draw.

What a pair of great fights and showing of precision beautiful punching by Demarco in spots.

Figueroa won the fight barely IMO. Scores were right. He usually puts on exciting fights which is nice but I always lose a ton of respect for a fighter who misses weight especially by a ridiculous amount. Making a CW is disrespectful to the opponent.

I feel like they are trying to push Figueroa but he really doesn't have the skill to get to the top. He is a decent fighter but will soon start losing once he steps up just a bit more in competition.

Demarco's style is suited for banging. Really landed a lot of clean power shots.
Figueroa kept his head low, bent over too far... open for an uppercut. , swung that overhand up too high.



Decision was fair but boy did he swell up Figueroa.

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.
