    Round 4

    Figueroa is caught by a big right hand, the best Burns can muster - and immediately answers back with a quintuple uppercut! Burns covers up after eating the first couple. Figueroa is slamming Burns with uppercuts with both hands and chopping away up top. They are stuck in the phone booth, no jab, no movement. Just grappling and exchanging body shots and uppercuts on the chin. Figueroa is grabbing Burns' head and pushing it down, and Cole breaks. Both shoeshine down low.

    10-9 Figueroa

    38-38

    4-0 Burns

    Omar isn't landing much, most of his punches are landing on the gloves of burns

    Why is this scheduled for 12? Neither has a belt and this isn't an eliminator.

    He's not controlling this, but part of that is Burns awkward clubbing shots that he brings from high-to-low and Figueroa fighting with his head down.

    Its an awful combo for a mess fight.

    C'mon Burns! Either way, I think he earned his next paycheck already.

    Not sure what Burns has done to deserve this title shot (he should really be 1-3 in his last 4 fights) but apparently he's bankrupt. Be great if he could pull this off.
