Comments Thread For: Omar Figueroa Outpoints Antonio Demarco In A Thriller

[Shadoww702]

Omar Figueroa needs to run back to Joel Diaz. This guy needs to fight at junior welterweight first off. Ridiculous that he was the main event and came in overweight.

Secondly he needs to go back to Joel Diaz. He needs a trainer like Joel Diaz to continue to help develop his skills which up to this point in his career haven't gotten any better.

Once he starts fighting more complete fighters that aren't going to allow you to bully them into the ropes and make it a phone booth fight he will struggle and probably get dominated.

He's way to one dimensional still, and once he starts fighting good counter punchers, guys who box, etc......he will lose that "0" real quick.

He proved to tonight he's not ready for prime time, he's not ready for the cream of the crop in his division, and needs WAY more development.

I agree and his training from home HAS to STOP!

Fig. needs to go back down in weight. His hands are to brittle for the bigger boys and he obviously isn't even really hurting them anymore.

The title makes it sound like DeMarco got the win lol

Title is misleading lol.

It's just plain wrong.

Ok, I thought I was going crazy for a sec there...

I've been saying it for a while... Omar Figueroa is a bad KO waiting to happen. His fights are exciting mainly because he fights down to his opponents level. If that happens once, then OK, but that shouldn't happen almost every fight.

Past 2-3 fights he's looked barely average.

Hadn't thought of it that way, but you're right.

DeMarco has nothing to be ashamed of now. So everyone can stop saying he's shot. Maybe not champ again, but certainly he can get into the top ten.

Da f#ck. Now boxingscene cats making troll threads with legit news articles???

DeMarco ain't "outlast" a damn thing except expectations that had him getting stopped.

Pigueroa*......

Good one. Green K

A war. Mexicans as usual. Figueroa could have run in the later rounds like Mayweather but he is a warrior and a man.

Figueroa's work rate was impressive for the three-quarters of the bout, as he kept the power punches coming fast and furious. However, because he came overweight, he tired at the end of the match, and as he slowed down he displayed his usual poor defense which allowed DeMarco to land the best punches of the night and close the gap on the cards. I had it 8-4, though...

Figueroa has now landed 400+ punches 2x in career (Arakawa 480) @premierboxing #PBConNBC pic.twitter.com/RZxiXIYK7d
