Comments Thread For: Figueroa Heading To 140, Leaves Linares Door Open

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

StubHub Center, Carson, California - Last night, Omar "Panterita" Figueroa Jr. (23-0-1, 18 KOs) successfully retained his WBC lightweight title an exciting ninth-round knockout over determined mandatory challenger Daniel "Tremendo" Estrada (32-3-1, 24 KOs).

Following the fight, Figueroa made it clear that making 135-pounds was getting too tough for his body and he was very focused on moving up to the junior welterweight limit of 140-pounds.

Light welter is heating up again.
It already had Garcia/Matthysse/Peterson/Provodnikov/Broner and now Crawford and Figueroa joins the party.
Can't wait for next fights @140

During the same interview Panterita said that he would eventually fight Linares... At 140, maybe?

Omar is going to get hurt at 140 hes way too easy to hit and looks like he doesnt have the power to hurt the big 140 pounders hes just lucky that peterson and garcia are most likely moving up

And this is where he will catch his ass whooping. Better be careful who you throw him in there with Al.

I hope that Figueroa finds a way to escape from Al's "tutorship"... Oscar would be more attentive with the kid's future, I trust...

About damn time

[Light_Speed]

So if he vacates it's gonna be Linares vs Lundy for the title?

They better be careful who they throw him in with at 140 B

I really like omar. I don't know if his style and hand problems are going to be effective at 140.

That's said-him and provo,matthysse, broner or danny would be fights I'd love to see. Algieiri would be a good style matchup but he's busy now.
