          I wanna see more of this kid he made me a fan with his performance.

          It's funny sometimes the guys with baby faces that simply don't look like fighters are the toughest haha. I never seen either guy before and going into it I was like "oh man this tattooed guy is going to kill this little kid" nope!

                  I definitely wanna see this kid again..The way he fought & beat Perez that night reminds Me of Brandon Rios..Figueroa had problems making the weight(which 1 would think he would be weak on fight night)like Rios in his last fight against Murray & Figueroa absorbed a lot of body punishment in the 1st 3 rounds & then ironically came on stronger & was relentless as the fight went on like Rios against Acosta & Figueroa wore his opponent down a stopped him in the same fashion Rios did with these 2 guys I just mentioned..This was Figueroa's & Perez's toughest opponent & toughest test to date & Figueroa past with flying colors while Perez failed & now has to go to the back of the line & back to the drawing board & start all over again & who knows how he'll come back after a defeat like this early in his career..Very Good fight & good win for Figueroa.

                      the kid is a big body puncher and he comes forward


                      we're lacking seriously in that department in this sport


                      i'll be happy to see him again

                          I love the kids aggression and think he has a bright future in the sport.

                          The way he pressures and goes to the body is impressive. I do think he needs some time to develop a better defense but he only has 15 fights.
