    Espinoza really impressed me with his performance against Ramirez. This is an all action fight at Featherweight that needs to happen. 2 Mexican champions that throw punches in bunches, guaranteed to be a FOTY contender. I would love to see this one take place next year.

    Figueroa I believe. Neither one's stepping backwards.

    The fans for sure!

    Great fight, I have to look into Espinoza more to have a pick but as you said this would be all action FOTY candidate for sure. Hope they make it happen

    Figgy. Espinoza fights with his chin in the air and Figs has the ability to exploit even more than last night.

    Stylistically this is as good of a match up that you can ask for. Both Figueroa and Espinoza would be up close and throwing hundred punches a round with no stopping. Match made in heaven. Let's make that fight happen.

    They both get hit too much but I think Espinozas timing, and power would eventually break down Figs. That fight would be a war.

    Espinoza has better power and is a lot more methodical with his offense. I believe that counters Figueroa’s spraying type of offense.

    Espinoza vs Figueroa is the fight to make next year. I favor Figueroa to beat Fulton this time around and if he’s able to avenge that loss they seriously need to consider a match against Espinoza. That’s an all Mexican showdown that could potentially be another classic.

    I’d favour Espinoza against any current 126lber but Figueroa might be his hardest task stylistically
