A a split draw??

Why they even allow that? Should be a no contest. It's = too cheating.

Figueroa has issues before he starts giving advantages away. He's not slow, hits hard, he's athletic, but his idea of boxing doesn't include defense. Lateral movement is running and too proud to duck, search and destroy. He's lucky Cena has been getting KOd and knows how to lose.

Very shocked the judges let Ceja get a winning card. If it were me he would have had to dominate a round to win it after weighing in as junior lightweight.

Guy weighed in 4 and a half pounds too heavy, very surprised the fight was allowed to go ahead.

Yep the body shots could of had a different outcome without a extra 4.5 pounds of muscle.

Figueroa needs to fire his team for allowing the fight to go on, he lost some years of his life with that fight!

Ceja clearly wasn’t coming to win the title but to cheat to victory!

Shameful

I tend to agree. He was fighting a much stronger man who was at least one division bigger than him and probably a lot more with rehydration. In the future he’s going to have to embrace controlling the distance and using his height advantages though. He’s going to have w short career taking that kind of punishment. He’s got a hell of a chin though. And let’s not forget that Ceja was landing some bombs on Rigo and that fight was CLOSE. Not a bad performance considering the massive jump in class

Figueroa versus Nery!?
