only now in watching it & its the end of the 7th round so dont know how it finished. just came on here to say fvcking hell it must be the fight of the year so far (there has been some great ones mind you) sorry if there's a thread about this but i hav'nt been here because i dont want to know the results
Arakawa was wobbly after the fight. He took a lot hits. Omar showed flaws and if he faces someone with power he might in trouble in the future. He's a fighter who solely relies on his power. He has a future with his management team and he is very marketable.
Yeah, this is one of those fight yo expect to tend at any moment. Amazing how Arakawa just keeps coming back for more as he is obviously getting the worst end of it all, but continues to be the aggressor.
Arakawa, the guy that fights southpaw but tries to fight orthodox... out of the southpaw position. crazy! never seen anyone do that before. also, Figueroa isn't the fighter some will have you believe. he's good and has heart, but i can't see him being one of the major players at 135.
atsch Damn! Thanks for pointing that out about Arakawa. I honestly hadn't noticed. Man, if he had an ounce of power he would have fcuked Figueroa up badly.
If Arakawa had more power it would have changed the dynamics of the fight. FIgeroa was able to stay in front of Arakawa for most of the fight precisely because he did not respect Arakawa's power. I doubt anyone at 35 would have survived those shots Arakawa took, especially in the first couple of rounds.
figueroa looks great to watch to watch now bit will get picked apart as he moves up in class & will be out of the sport at 29/30 with these wars :deal
