Comments Thread For: Brandon Figueroa: "I Would Love To Fight Naoya Inoue"

[Knuckle sandwich]

Okay. Hopefully we'll see. The physicality and work rate with his physical advantages will make things uncomfortable. I know Inoue is the better fighter but every style has a foil and I think Brandon will make him earn it.

I think Inoue would take that fight, would be a good test for him

yea i noticed that about Fig he needs to get punched in the face hard to be motivated to fight after that he is all in and wirery like sorta like those air dancers you see outside car dealerships. Unpredictable, floaty uncoordinated and unpredictable. It would be fun to watch while it lasted more fun then Fulton sure..........

Yeah I agree it would be fun, he just doesn't have enough power or good enough defense to withstand what will be coming back his way

[deathofaclown]

I actually had Figueroa beating Fulton but it was close

Inoue v Figueroa is a fun fight but Inoue is levels above. At least Figueroa would probably try to put it on Inoue, it might get him knocked out quicker but just trying to survive is giving yourself no chance.

Figueroa, Nery or Tapales are all interesting fights for Inoue. I would have him favored to win in all of them but all of them have power.

If Brandon ever faces Inoue, we'll be discussing that fight as the one that began the decline of his career. Inoue will put a dent in his punch resistance. Brandon is gonna learn very soon that having a face-first defense will eventually lead to disaster. He doesn't effectively use his height/reach, which means that Inoue is going to take complete advantage of Brandon's aggression.

The positive i could say about Fig is that i did not like him for a long time, nothing personal he just didnt look right but.....he kept winning fights he kept finding unusual ways to win. His fight was close with Fulton no mistake about that by that fight i was willing to say Fig was better then what i thought. i dont know much just enjoy the fight game could he carry something off line and catch Ina ? Well Nonito did and busted him up, would fig beat Nonito now if Donaire moved up again ? Maybe that would be interesting too. Power it is there more then Fulton ? Yea ..... he is a wierd fighter that is for sure. And Nonito will fight again be sure of that one..........

You ain't kiddin'.

That's the way to win (has anyone tried it?) -- on the inside -- stick to Inoue like glue.

Moloney tried to fight in the inside in the third round. Gave up in the fourth...

Ah here we go again. Every fighter that is put in front of Inoue has a list of things that will "give him problems"

Gets knocked out and it's on to the next guy who will supposedly give him problems.

One day. One day y'all will get your day because you know what they say about a broken clock.

Get a full belt and stand in line

You know your boxing sir. He's literally the one fighter I think could trouble Inoue.

He also has one thing I think matters, the warrior mindset. I think Figueroa would rather die than back down from a war
