    Dude, Gato is a wrestler during his high school days...


    "Nicknamed “El Gato” – The Cat – because he was the only one quick enough to catch a cat that was a mascot at his original gym in the Bronx, Frankie is now promoted by Roy Jones. Jr’s Square Ring.

    The 30-year-old Figueroa, a Puerto Rican-American born in Spanish Harlem, was two-time New York City high school wrestler, 14-0 as a senior, who didn’t start boxing until eight years ago after taking advice from a friend."

    :deal

    He was not fast enough to not get iced by Bailey.

    ... coz you're laughing at Gato when he claimed Cotto was NOT able to throw him down during sparring...:lol:

    Maybe Cotto didn't know Gato has been wrestling for 7 years... LOL...:lol:

    I know its just sparring

    but this has a lot of indication that Holloway is much better than his record implies or that Angulo is vastly overrated boxing skill wise.

    I know Figuera is full of crap because if he was giviing Cotto fits, then Cotto would of low blowed him.

    i had the privilege to spar with frankie when he was getting ready for bailey and when we sparred he was fancy with his movement showoff style and i had to adjust to him i actually gave him a taste of his own medicine but it was an honor to sparr with him cause you learn new things and boxers should realize that sometimes you have to deal with that type of style. demetrius andrade had sparred with him 2 weeks after and i wasnt there for that cause i made it to the gym late but from what i hear boo boo put it on gato but i dont know cause again i wasn't there.

    Very interesting, it makes sense to me that Cotto lost his cool with someone showboating and showing him up in front of Bob Arum.

    The fact that Gato could actually do it to Cotto, makes it easier to pick Pacman for this fight.
