Jorge Linares vs Omar Figueroa...........Who wins?

[UTEP]

Figueroa went to war with Arakawa and won a hard fought unanimous decision while Linares had a much easier time just out boxing him.


Who you got in this fight?

[Hougigo]

Jorge has the skills, but I still think he can be chin checked and cut.

Omar via KO

I just hope Omar's hands are ok, i know he broke one of them in the Arakawa fight and now he had to pull out of the PPV with a wrist injury. He's been out of the ring for a while now.

Figueroa doesn't do anything for me.

Linares by decision.

Wow... He might be stripped too and Jorge becomes the champ..... that'd be crazy

I think Figueroa's better off at 140. He's only had 4 or 5 fights at 135 and he's still filling out at 23. He looks a lot better at 140 IMO.

[Cuauhtémoc1520]

Omar by KO. Linares fades late and doesn't like to be hit and pressured.

If he thinks Demarco was coming forward, Figueroa is like a bull in a china closet.

Figueroa by stoppage. I would be rooting for Linares though, as he would tremendously benefit from a win over Panterita.

I've always been inlove with Linares' boxing ability but damnit the dude just can't finish when the tough gets going. Whenever I see him fight I get that Zab judah feeling... Like no matter how well its going he's gonna lose lol.


Omar by KO. Let's not act like Figueroa wasnt beating the dog s hit out of Arakawa lol. Sure he went to war but when dude is made out of the same nuclear bunker as Froch kinda hard to put him away. I might like linares but i dont like him so much where it fogs my judgement into thinking linares could take half of what Arakawa did.

I agree but I think Linares has a big big chance of just beating Figueroa from beggining to end. If Linare's face holds up he beats almost everyone at 135 just with his skillset alone. Also Figueroa has had many hand problems after that Arakawa fight, that can play a huge factor in the fight. If Figueroa can't throw as much and as hard as he likes to he's in big trouble considering Linares is a lot faster than him and if linares builds a big lead it might be too late for figueroa even if he linares fades late.
