awesome fight, arakawa is a kamikaze, but soto karass berto is the fight of the year, better than bradley provodnikov, unbelievable

I can't believe this lasted all 12 rounds.

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

Whoever invented DVR.........I love you. I totally skipped this bout........I'll enjoy watching it in the morning.

I feel elated and on the edge of being (but not quite) sickened at the same time. This sport. This sport.

Omar beat me too it by breaking both of his hands on the house but I was going to say it after the fight anyway. This kid really needs to find his identity or he's going to either develop major hand problems or get KTFO, guys like Broner would kill Omar right now.. he needs a LOT of work. Kid thinks he's a power puncher because he's been on a KO streak of tomato cans..The minute he steps up and fights someone durable he almost gets stopped early

He has the potential to be a very good boxer but by no means is he a KO artist. He needs to be moved along at a slower pace so he can gain some more experience..

Amen. Figueroa clearly won this fight and there was nothing he could do about Arakawa's toughness, but he took more punishment in this fight than he should be at his age and stage of development. If Omar doesn't make a big adjustment going forward, he's going to pay a stiff price.

Got to comment... This was an amazing fight. Arakawa is unreal!
Showtime rocked tonight with all fights.

besides the first minute or so it was all action!!! i was losing my mind watching this lol glad alot of casual fans i know saw that

[nycsmooth]

as I posted last week Arakawa has an ability 2 absorb punches but has virtually no power...he hung in & battled but a bought like this takes who knows how much outta him???I saw on MX tv when he was stopped last November by Estrada & the main thought watching last nights bout was Figueroa would have been ouuta there last night w/all the shots he took...a good match would be him vs Estrada, who was #1 ranked but gave up his Silver belt to go for World Cup in Oct, foolish move , IMO...

This kid, Omar Figueroa, is absolutely amazing... He's surreal...
But, at this young age, he badly needs a proper trainer -- he's too talented and someone has to tell him that there no need to brake off his hands in the early rounds... never...

Omar provided the biggest entertainment I've seen in years...
The Japanese was Japanese -- their last soldiers in the WWII surrendered in 1974...
