LOS ANGELES – Brandon Figueroa adopted the nickname “Heartbreaker” because of his good looks. A better moniker might be “Bodybreaker.” Figueroa passed the biggest test of his career on the Jose Uzcategui-Caleb Plant card Sunday at Microsoft Theater, putting Moises Flores down twice and stopping him at 1:35 of the third round of a scheduled 12-round junior featherweight fight.
Former 122-pound champion Moises Flores is nicknamed, “Chucky,” after the murderous doll in the horror movie series, “Child’s Play,” in part, owing to his reputation as a street fighting youth in his native Jalisco, Mexico.
