Comments Thread For: Figueroa Heavy, PBC on CBS Show Goes On Versus Burns

[JakeNDaBox]

Omar Figueroa showed up heavy for his scheduled 12-round junior welterweight battle with Ricky Burns, which takes place Saturday afternoon at State Farm Arena in Hidalgo, Texas.

The unbeaten slugger from nearby Weslaco weighed in at 141.5 lbs. - more than a pound above the 140 lb. contracted weight - and has two hours to shed the excess poundage. His team didn't seem particularly concerned about the repercussions, insisting the fight will go on as planned and that everything was taken care of, whether or not he makes weight.

These dudes need to really show more professionalism towards making weight. They're treating these PBC opportunities a little too casual.

So they found Luis Galarza for Austin Trout.

Galarza had a TKO5 loss to Kell Brook back in 2011.

He had three wins against three opponents with some REALLY bad records (9-29-2, 10-33-1, 2-23) in 2013, and he has had no fights since.

Somehow this is Chepo's fault
