Getting good odds (+300) vs UGAS who is being slighly overrated beacuse he fought a close fight vs Shawn Porter.
Figueroa can win rounds by being the more active fighter here, and UGAS while being a physically big 147lber, does not have a big punch.

I'd pick Ugas normally but trust me, if this fight is even remotely close, Figs will win. He's been carried before and unless Ugas drops him several times he'll get carried again.
Why are British officials are so corrupt? Why did the ref jump in to save Whyte just as Rivas had stunned him and was going for the finish. He had stolen Dillian's moment. He robbed Whyte of his shine by injecting himself into this fight.
In any case, congratulations to Dillian on such a spirited effort and becoming the WBC's mandatory challenger for its Heavyweight title. I thought he boxed beautifully by keeping the shorter man at the end of his punches and at bay with his superior reach and height.
Moreover, he implemented a keen strategy of throwing multiple stiff jabs and hard body shots; Which seemed to have sapped all of the energy and stamina out of Rivas.
