Comments Thread For: Fight of the Year Alert: Figueroa Outlasts Arakawa Over 12

[JoeKidd]

Maybe these guys should learn some boxing. And the judges also!

I can't believe this lasted all 12 rounds.

The Showtime card killed it tonight in terms of entertainment value.

This kid, Omar Figueroa, is a phenomenon... I was impressed, truly...
(The fact that people here are impressed by the Japanese is because the kamikaze guy survived the onslaught...)

... Though, Omar Figueroa needs a professional trainer -- it's just ****** to brake off hands in the early rounds...

What a FIGHT !!!!!

better than the ballerina snooze fest coming

[nacho daddy]

was it just me or did Figueroa look like he was 3 weight classes above the Japanese guy. the other guy was half the size and looked like a bantam weight was skinny as a pole. Figueroa will have trouble when he fights a guy like that his own weight

You don't think Joel Diaz is a professional trainer?

Just watched this fight and I almost shed a tear. FOTY, ROTY anda fight that would make you reaffirm your love for this sport. Arakawa might possibly be the toughest mother****er I have ever seen.

Omar had his both hands injured for the Abner Cotto fight.
Now it happened again.
Figueroa isn't 24 years of age yet...
A proper trainer must show much more attention to such a young and talented fighter.
Joel Diaz is only 40. Omar deserves a more experienced trainer.
