140, oh dear! burns is in big trouble here, unless he can fight like he did against martinez i see nothing but a figeroa win by stoppage mid-late rounds. i though burns was happy to stay at 135? wouldve been better for him to wait and fight for figeroa's vacated belt, unless the whispers are true and burns is looking for one last big pay day? i hope i'm wrong and burns can pull it off but i just dont see it happening, he aint stopping figuroa thats for sure, and his hand being raised in texas? he'll have to box out of his skin for that to happen.
****ing love figueroa, i dont think he will ever be elite level but he is so enjoyable to watch! his war with arakawa was my fight of the year
Burns hasn't looked good in 6 fights in a row now. He was on his way losing when his opponent quit with a handinjury, then got a gift draw, lost 3 in a row and didn't look impressive in his last fight wich he finally won again. It's not had to "Figuer oat" who's going to win this.
This will be a blowout, Ricky may end up looking like Mile High Mike being brutalized by Rios. Panterita will stop him brutally.
