Comments Thread For: Brandon Figueroa: I Hurt Fulton Five or Six Times, It Was Robbery of The Year

[Pantera_]

Figueroa definitely won the fight but it wasn't an all out robbery. Just a bad decision. Im looking forward to his 126 debut.

Close Competitive EXCELLENT Fight! No Robbery though, I have it 7-5 Fulton but would not have been upset with a Draw but Fulton was snapping and turning Brandon head with Clean accurate punches to the head. Unfortunately boxing in general and Judges still don't honor and respect body punches because no question Brandon hurt Fulton to the body multiple times but Fulton just like he did vs Leo he was some how able to withstand all those body punches

Great Fight! Maybe they run it back in the future but Brandon stock still goes up despite losing that one, I don't think anybody else at 122 deals with his size and pressure like Fulton did. Fulton vs Aleem is going to be another great fight at 122. As for Brandon, plenty of Options at 122 or 126, can go up to 126 where it is plenty of big fights: Ray Vargas, Leo Santa Cruz, Navarrete (who is a Free Agent) all amazing stylistic fights

Navarette vs. Figueroa would be a ****ER. I see Russell vs. Figueroa being interesting too. Russell has gotten way too comfortable and I think Brandon's pressure will force Russell to show what he's truly made of.

Unbeaten American PBC fighter fighting on Showtime on a PBC card? Yeah he was only ever guna lose by knock out.

Maybe, but there were rounds where he was able to stick and move a bit more, and he seemed to do better. But then his (Fulton's) corner encouraged him to be more aggressive and attack- I felt that was the wrong move. To me it seemed more that Figueroa was wearing Fulton down throughout the round, and Fulton couldnt keep up the movement.

I’ll buy that. I do think the pressure from Brandon was wearing him down late. Just a phenomenal fight and it makes me wish championship fights were 15 rounds again

I swear some people are just extremely ******….so blinded by their fear and inner feelings of inadequacy when it comes to the men of a certain group….some people are so ignorant as the poster above who doesn’t even realise that both of these men were undefeated and AMERICAN

Just watched the fight again. 115-113 Figueroa or even 116-112. There is absolutely no argument for Fulton getting a draw, he won 5 rounds at best, and he was hurt on six separate occasions, yes six, this wasn't only a robbery, it was a robbery at gun point. And everyone needs to stop the race baiting crap, these were 2 Americans giving us a heck of a fight, and Even though Fulton lost, hat's off for laying it all on the line, to both.

WTF are you talking about? It's you that makes everything about race.

Figueroa won that.

This kid has some audacity. 1. It wasn’t a robbery and 2. Not even close to the worst decision we’ve seen this year. Maestre vs fox was horrible and resulted in a judge being suspended. Valdez vs conceicao was pretty bad too.

And wait, I already forgot the Filipino's name, but he dominated and knocked the guy down in 4 different rounds... he only won by a point I think. I mean, yeah he won (I think) but it was razor thin margin. Or how about the Hatton jr. fiasco? Judge gave it to him. Terrible.

[Damn Wicked]

Even though I thought it was close with Fulton edging it out, I really am not impressed with Figueroa. I was actually rooting for him but the guy has to learn to punch. He's not generating as much power as he could or should. Half the punches he throws have absolutely nothing on them. Just wasted energy. This was no robbery . The fight was razor close .

He generated enough power to hurt Fulton a few times.
