    Omar

    1. Has iron chin
    2. Throws a million punches
    3. Has good power

    Omar will simply outwork/pressure the hell out of AB, who is gun shy & simply don't throw enough...

    Like Ponce De Leon, Porter, Maidana all over again. AB can't deal with pressure

    Omar gets a bit underrated he's a solid boxer & a BIG DUDE. AB going to get mauled here. AB is tough as heck so maybe not KOd or stopped.

    Both guys struggle with weight. Its supposed to be a 140 bout, wonder if a few weeks out it gets moved to 147? LoL

    Figueroa is garbage. You just desrcibe him as if he's if Aaron Pryor or something. He's an extremely limited fighter with no defense whatsoever and no ring IQ. In other words, NOT Mikey Garcia.

    This is basically a 50-50 fight. Neither guy is elite level.

    Thats what i see happening

    AB got a lot of hype but when was he this great boxer? Never

    At 130/35 he was very good. Above that? Nope

    I don't see why Broner keeps on headlining events. He is done! No one cares! Can't compete against the elite and will forever be a B level fighter.

    Broner is good at beating up women, can he stay out of jail long enough to fight?

    Broner will be put on official journeyman level if he loses this fight. Omar has been hurt and out of action for a while so this fight can go either way. Broner will need to become more active or become a punching bag for Haymon's latino fighters at 140.

    Broner will utterly destroy Figueroa, mark my words, Figueroa doesn't have the chin of Granados, he was rocked yo his core late by DeMarco, and quite frankly looked near death at the end of that match. He debatably should have lost to Burns, and Guerrero outboxed him with ease in the first, then lost his marbles like he usually does and chose to slug it out and paid dearly for it, Guerrero had taken one beating too many, it was his time, that is all. Broner will land clean with frequency, and rip Figueroa to pieces, his face will be dangling off like something out of Hellraiser by the midway point, AB will then put it on him and get him out in 9. Figueroa is garbage, and will e badly exposed, more so than he already has been in the past.

    Porter and Malignaggi (both know AB and Fig fairly well) both feel this could be a very hard fight for Broner.

    Zab Judah jr is done in boxing, if he’s smart he does the Khan fight and 1 more huge payday then he should retire. Broner is taking punches for no reason at this point. I’m not sure can afford to lose more brain cells his decision making ability is already ****

    That's an insult to Zab.

    Prime Judah was a much better fighter than Broner.

    AB is garbage also. Hence why I said it's 50-50.

    Food for thought though - they have a common opponent - Antonio DeMarco. Broner utterly destroyed DeMarco... Figueroa went life and death with the guy and got hurt.

    So like I said.... you're overrating Figueroa. He's not good. He's not a "handful" at 140.... the guy got an absolute GIFT over Ricky Burns at 140.

    That's why it's an interesting matchup - cause they both suck.
