Notes: It goes to determine that the week I take off, not solely did Showtime placed on a combat I really needed to see as an alternative of a Charlo-Montiel or Colbert-Gamboa, nevertheless it turned out to be a predictably excellent combat. Brandon Figueroa’s career-best win over Luis Nery didn’t come straightforward, nevertheless it was legit. I sat down with it on Sunday afternoon. Rattling good combat, I had it even after six, after which Figueroa acquired him out.
I do suppose Nery at 122 is simply not what he was at 118, and what he was at 118 has some asterisks, too. Nery continues to be harmful on this division — I’m not dropping him dramatically as a result of that again finish of the highest 10 is stable however removed from spectacular, with three fairly confirmed commodities and Ra’eese Aleem. However I feel the highest guys are all robust for him on paper, too.
Figueroa pops as much as No. 3, although Danny Roman additionally did win on the present. Figueroa’s assertion win over Nery deserves that, with due respect to Roman, a fighter I actually like. Figueroa’s now set for Sept. 11, when he faces Stephen Fulton Jr in a unification bout. That one could possibly be unbelievable, and it’s an awesome matchup.
Upcoming Fights: (2) Stephen Fulton Jr vs (3) Brandon Figueroa, Sept. 11 … (1) Murodjon Akhmadaliev vs (8) Ronny Rios, TBA
