Yeah I got you on Frankie Figueroa Cmm my brother.

People are saying and thinking 140 is very shallow right now but it doesnt have to be if they let a couple guys up there and promoters make the right fights.. El Gato is right up there for me.. The only thing i could want from him is to keep taking these fights.. Cause he's getting a couple a year.. but theres alot of talk and not enough fights happening.. he's in camp with the big names and he stays sharp but hes getting the opportunities to fight guys on pretty short notice and hes still getting the wins.. and the names that will make good fights just arent happening.. Nobody wants him.. No Santana.. No Salita

He just got bumped up #4 -WBC and eventually hes going to end up with the bradley fight cause eventually they have to give him his shot..

---------

On another note.. My man.. Gary 'Kid' Stark Jr..

He had himself some tough breaks last year.. He was really up there start o '07.. Confident, skillful.. taking on big bad competition.. and if you know how hard it is to get fights for your undefeated super bantamweight prospect on the East Coast.. then you'd give my guy some dues and props because my man was having to move up, short notice.. take fights at feather weight.. with naturally bigger guys.. just because he dont wana move out to the west coast to get these fights..

So he gets a shot at another undefeated prospect in Mike Oliver ..Gets robbed for the usba title.. and thats the fight that puts him up there.. usba title.. which is of course owned bythe ibf.. up with the rankings.. Eventually gets on the ibf.. that was the way to go.
takes another fight after that, and gets caught.. ko'd.

Since then its just been building back, getting the wins, make the money, avenged the ko loss.. and if he can keep getting these fights then it'l come.. still with more match making problems..

Gary was offered the fight with conception on the cotto - marg undercard..
Nabf title.. 15 grand for 12 rounds.. at that level its chump change.

So they end up paying Carrera 12k when he took the fight..
