Comments Thread For: Omar Figueroa Returns To Decision Game Belmontes

[Mike D]

I like Figueroa but I think we've already seen his ceiling. He's a limited guy.

[_original_]

I was never impressed with Omar so this didn't surprise me at all, especially since this guy had already beaten him 5 times in the amateurs. Should have been a draw or a 7-5 Belmontes decision. Abril, Vazquez, Crawford and even Linares embarrass this kid. His days are numbered.

Belmontes lost this fight. Didn't let his hands go in 2nd half of fight. Figueroa has no defense, but a lot of heart,

[JJRod]

Figueroa is just another De Marco Slow that hits hard, but no skill, Linares beats him, Crawford, Titere, Avril and Burns humiliates this kid.

Didn't DeMarco beat Linares though?

Belmontes won that fight. His lack of endurance appeared in the middle rounds but he still won most of them.
On my scorecard I had Omar only winning 4 rounds.The 3rd, 6th,10th,and 11th.
A case could be made for the 5th round going to Omar but I gave it to Jerry for the cleaner harder hits that he landed.

[MDPopescu]

I had it a draw but, I would lean towards jerry because his punches seemed harder.

I said it during the fight (just when the 12th round started) that they can call it a draw...
... This as I favoured Figueroa all fight long... and I liked the kid (until this night)...

[No bueno]

I was there last night and ot only did I think omar lost the fight but so did all the people in attendance . Omars a good kid signed autographs for my son and the fans but I told him to his face he lost and his reaction to that was ..maybe next time .

[Derranged]

Figueroa really comes across as an arrogant prick. Learn to cut off the ring and work behind your jab before calling someone a boring runner. He got exposed tonight.

I had the fight 114-114. Omar Figueroa is a paper champion.

Yea I didn't care for his comments in the interview, he was probably defensive because he knew he got a gift.

Burns vs Figueroa for the Kell/Porter undercard

Burns vs Figueroa for the Kell/Porter undercard

i doubt burns would come over here to fight him but who knows his options may be limited so another shot at the world title would be enticing for him.

last night showed us how one demential omar really is. Imagine if Belmontes had any kind of power? imagine if that was John Molina hitting omar? it might've been night night for Omar
