Close and tough fight to score. Who was the boss? Who fought his fight? Which fighter was busier? Who landed the cleaner blows? A lot of holding by Fulton. Ref could have taken a point away. Some low blows on both sides. This said, 8 to 4 for Fulton? C'mon.. The draw seemed the least unjust verdict.

So far that had to be fight of the year, back and forth ebb and flow. There had to be a rematch. This one has trilogy written all over it

It was a draw for this observer, though Fulton's superior technical skills may have justified a one-point win, even if he was the one who got closer to get hurt.

The two judges who gave Fulton four points are not too serious.

Figueroa landed 314 shots, even when someone lands on your arms as he claims, it's still a shot landed, the only time it doesn't count is when you miss, if it lands on your body, it's a landed shot. And that was to Fulton body, not arms. And to make things worse for him, he was hurt on six different occasions, no draw, it was a clear win for, Figueroa, anyone who says otherwise, is blind, or a Homer.

I think Estrada v Chocolatito II was fight of the year. This was great tho. It really could've went either way.

Fighters crying in the interviews after a close fight lose me as a fan. I'm off of Fig and Teo.

Have to disagree with this logic. Landing on arms do not count as scores punches. If that was the case, all fighters connect percentages would be in the high 50s to 60s as everyone would simply swing nonstop to connect. No disrespect but you sound like you don’t understand how to score boxing rounds and you may need to check the rule book before making comments like this.
