Round 4

Figueroa is leading with hitch-up left hooks, climbing from the hip up to Belmontes' face and falling short as Belmontes glides around the ring. Belmontes hunkers down and waits, countering with pinpoint rights when Figueroa steps to him. Wild lunging jab by Figueroa, short. Belmontes picks off jabs with his right glove, rolling his upper body in undulating sidelong waves. Belmontes is staying at rage to outbox Figueroa with jabs on the move and push-in counter rights. Figueroa jumps in and holds Belmontes, clapping light hooks along his sides. Figueroa has a bloody nose.
