Following a detailed discussion with his team and his promoter, Golden Boy, WBC lightweight champion Omar Figueroa (24-0-1, 18KOs) had advised the World Boxing Council that he'll continue in the lightweight division, for now.

On Tuesday, Figueroa told the WBC that he planned to vacate his title and move up to 140-pounds, where the unbeaten boxer was hoping to land a shot at the WBC's beltholder at junior welterweight, Danny Garcia.

Because Figueroa had stated in a recent interview, with BoxingScene.com, that he was physically struggling to make 135-pounds, the sanctioning body wants him to undergo a medical analysis to ensure the boxer is not placing his health at risk by continuing to fight at 135

Wouldnt suprise me if Linares won. Figuerora looks like nothing special from what ive seen. Crude slugger with mediocre power.

Mediocre power? Then how did he score 18 kayos in 24 wins??

typical internet turd talk , its gotta be one extreme or the other , a feather fist or a huge puncher cant be a decent puncher , which is what his record shows and what he is

 

he went 33-36 rds with guys that had never been stopped , how shameful
