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

Man I couldn’t get into this fight after watching Lopez and Kambosos. I just remember non stop clinching and Mora having to constantly break them up

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

His parents were born in Rio Bravo, Tamaulipas and he lived there for a while as well. There's something inside of you that's dying to have more culture in your life that's the reason you are always talking with a hard on about Brazilians for some reason like you wish you were born in Brazil but when it comes to Mexican/Mexican-Americans you have a hate within it's obvious to see because every chance you get you feel the need to insert "American" and completely discredit their ethnicity. Brandon speaks Spanish, fought as an amateur in Mexico and probably holds dual citizenship for all you know. Just like anyone born to Mexican parents his birth certificate which is issued in the US says "Mexican-American" get over it already.

As far as the fight goes I wouldn't say it was a robbery but Brandon won that fight 7-5/8-4 a draw would've been ok but like he said they gave it to Fulton because Brandon said before the fight this was his last fight at 122, so the money fight between Fulton and MJ can go ahead and happen for all the belts. How come nobody is saying anything about the amount of holding Fulton was doing?

Not a robbery, just a close fight, either way or a draw was acceptable scoring

I did like Brandon Figueroa but when you display no class as a fighter and act like a sore loser on a close ass fight you lose my respect ****kking loser!

Fulton was rattled, but not hurt at any time in the fight. It was a close fight, hard to score, and the draw seemed like the least unjust call.
This said, I did not like Figueroa's response during the after fight interview. Very immature. Then again, he is young...

Nowhere near a robbery. Very close fight could've went either way. Feel how you feel but not one of the judges agreed that this was a robbery. Scorecards are up to the judges and if you don't like it, take it out if their hands if you'll just be a sore loser.

Robbery!! This pro Afro-American judges and refs need to stop. Totally biased against Latinos, not onl in this fight which Figueroa won but in all other fights. Afro fighters just hug and jab, that´s it. Never even a warning.

Figueroa was never hurt too, dummy. And he was ge one chasing the hugger Fulton.

[just the facts]

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.

Would you favor Figueroa in either fight?

Not really a robbery

The 8-4 cards seem harsh when you look back as a whole but fights are scored in real time, round by round. if you think 7-5 Fulton was ok, then all you need to do is give him another one of those very close rounds and it’s 8-4.

I can make a case for either fighter winning, so 8-4 sounds harsh when you look at the fight as a whole because it was very competitive, but it’s completely reasonable that you could score it 8-4 in real time.

I actually thought Figueroa edged it 7-5 or a draw but it was a very subjective fight. I can see why the cards were that way.

Sometimes scorecards don’t tell the story of the fight but can still be justified. A fight can be very competitive and still be 12-0 if one fighter is just edging rounds.
