    I thought Burns clearly won that fight, he landed more cleaner, harder, eye catching shots throughout most of the rounds. Figueroa just bores in throwing wild punches with very little skill or technique.

      Whenever I see Cole refereeing I feel like turning the TV off. And those scorecards were an absolute joke. Remember Paulie sounding off about judging in Texas, and it's as bad as anywhere.

          Good fight! But it was disgraceful that Omar did not make weight!! this crap is cheating! I mean really! Burns had to sacrifice to make weight so this punk Omar can come in the fight stronger by not having to make weight!! It was not an even playing field!! Frankie Gomez try the same thing today too. this stuff is becoming a common thing and it is not right or fair. It's cheating to get an edge. Mickey Garcia, Rios, Canelo and Salido are practicing this cheating art. this is unprofessional! And those of u who condone this crap is not a real boxing fan. Nuff said!:

                    Everything was stacked against him. Missed weight, ref, judges, he had no chance in there
