Comments Thread For: Omar Figueroa Survives Slugfest To Outpoint Ricky Burns

LOL at the cards. I can't believe he struggled so much with Burns... who is pretty much shot. Either Burns was reinvigorated or Figgy worse than we thought, and it's most likely the latter

The fix was in. it could have been a draw, but those point deductions...ffs omar boring in with the head.

I salute Ricky, a few years ago he would have destroyed figueroa.

If Burns was effective in the outside when he was boxing, why didn't he just stay there and box? Its his own fault he lost.

What a horrible fight to watch, Burns was holding all the time(including Figueroa's hand) and hitting Figueroa in the back of the head at times.

Wasn't impressed with Figueroa either, he looked sloppy and someone needs to teach him defense.

Who even ranks Figueroa highly?

Not sure why burn's corner did'nt go to the commission officials to address the refs home cooking attitude

[Kagami Taiga]

everytime a fighter does better than expected its a robbery around here. not a figueroa fan but that was no robbery. he clearly won. really good fight tho.

Crawford would slaughter Figueroa.

[Bardock]

Burns was holding every round. I don't mind an underdog or challenger holding to win. A champion or heavy favorite who does it is a hack. Burns got shafted.

Um what?

Omar was ranked like top 2 or 3 at lightweight before he moved up which kind of shows you have over rated the division became once Terence Crawford started getting the star treatment.

I hated that instead of breaking the fight , the ref kept pullin burns arm.. Figueroa can be outboxed easily.. He looked sloppy but won
