I like Omar, a gutsy warrior and I know his hands don't hold up too well but I want to see him in there with other big fish at 135. There's a thread stating Rocky Martinez is moving up, Martinez vs Figueroa would be a dog fight. Gamboa can stay at 135 for one more fight against Omar for another good clash of styles and Juan Diaz vs Omar Figueroa would be a damn shootout. So many good fights at 135 for him.

I'll go out on the limb & take Estrada, a big LW w/ far more power than Omar...only thing I remember of the few times I saw him is a bad right eye that swells ezy...this is a main go that stands by itself...better in TX as Omar is from there...

When is this dude gonna step up ? He was given a belt by de la Hoya & haymon by fighting nobody's and St hasn't fought anyone ....fought a mediocre Arakawa and belmontes made him look very amateurish ! Figueroa imo is very overrated & will get outclassed by any top lightweight

Leo Santa Cruz on this card would make it a nice quadrupleheader
