Comments Thread For: Brandon Figueroa Drops, Stops a Game Carlos Castro in Sixth

Yes. We would've never had Gatti VS Ward as a classic if we had these new wave, glory whore, referees officiating that fight.....Corrales VS Castillo.....and other classics. These referees are compromising competitions.

Those were my exact thoughts, I guess the days of those classic fights are long gone. Refs involve themselves way too much now a days.

This seemed more about PBC protecting the boxer with the bigger name and more potential star power because the refs reasoning for the stoppage was nonsense..

All wrong style wise, easy to find, and overmatched too. A feel good, dip his toe in the feathers win for Figueroa vs a blown up jr.

Mares is the worst, He has no morals. Give him enough money and he'd sell his own mom out.

I dunno about all of that, lol. He's just not good

[Lefty0616]

Totally agree with Mares, I know we are in the era of protecting fighters but got dam wtf was that BS? With stoppages like that we'll never get great classic fights. Castro was literally in the middle making an adjustment, dipping and getting ready to throw a body shot at the time of the stoppage..SMH

I can't stand the SHOWTIME crew. They broadcast like Golf broadcasters. They're boring, clueless, and gutless (they had a problem with the stoppage, but yet found a way to defend the referee). And Mares is a terrible addition. I surely miss Malinaggi....and the HBO crew.

That whole broadcast crew and the referee are fkn trash. Castro didn’t complain because it’s not his style. Not everyone complains when they get screwed. Trash. I’m glad Figueroa got robbed against fulton.

With stoppages like this, they’ll fix all the fights

Stay out of mexican business you dumb pbc cuck

Shut up, this is dumb. I don't like the dude one bit but he is a boxing fan. He can share his opinion on any boxer he wants. This race stuff is dumb when you do things this way you prove his point. He has every right to speak his mind. Don't be an idiot. Do you speak on non-Mexican fighters? Of course you do, so again shut the hell up.

I disagree. He wasn't even blocking the shots, unlike what he did in the third. His hands were down and dropping lower as Figueroa continued to tee off on him.

He seemed unresponsive after he got dropped the first time. Figueroa threw a lot of punches that went unanswered for about 45 seconds. Castro weathered that storm and began to punch again.
