“I just went into the ring with the desire to win the belt and give him a good fight,” Figueroa said after the fight. - I really wanted this fight. He fought well, but as soon as I started to hit the body, it noticeably affected him, and then I started to push, push and push.
Figueroa, a former world bantamweight champion, is now in line to fight WBC featherweight world champion Ray Vargas, who watched the fight live.
“I felt great,” Figueroa, 26, said. — I didn't stop for a second. I didn't get tired, I was constantly moving forward and wanted to fight. Whoever wants to fight me, I'm ready. I want to fight for the title of world champion. I just want to give the fans the fights they want."
