Comments Thread For: Brandon Figueroa, Julio Ceja Go To War - Fight Ends in Split Draw

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

LAS VEGAS "The Heartbreaker" has a huge heart. Brandon Figueroa also has the first blemish on his professional record. Mexican veteran Julio Ceja gave the 22-year-old Figueroa the most difficult fight of his career, a back-and-forth brawl in which both boxers bombed away to each other's head and body for 12 rounds.

Good call, close rounds, a whole lot of leather exchanged. Ceja has a size advantage and it appears to have made a difference with 4 extra lbs. for me Figueroa has the early rounds, Ceja had the late with Brandon taking the last and saving his title reign. All in all considering how good Ceja really is, I’m surprised Brandon performed that well at that level and I was impressed with his chin now I want to be impressed with him learning how to turn over his punches rather than smothering then inside....he won’t be able to steamroll the top guys like he has done on his way up

Ceja got robbed.

You mean you thought Ceja edged it? Because that's very different to calling robbery.

Ceja got robbed.

Ryder was robbed. Ceja got a fair draw especially considering weight circumstances.

Good fight, judge that saw Figueroa win should stay away from boxing.

Figueroa needs to retire - he is a human punching bag with the defense of a statue half buried in cement. A face first dart board.

Julio would have got whooped if he made weight and Brandon is getting slapped around out of misplaced pride. Bad enough, he can't box, but letting Ceja come in so heavy is like trying to lose.

B U L L S H I T decision!! No doubt Ceja got ROBBED!

[Eddy Current]

Wasn't he like 4lbs over the weight limit?

Ceja got robbed.

Didn’t deserve the win because he didn’t even try to make weight
