Review: 2014-08-16, good fight between Omar Figueroa and Daniel Estrada: it gets three stars. The undefeated Omar Figueroa entered this fight with a boxing record of 23-0-1 (17 knockouts) and he is ranked as the No.4 lightweight in the world (currently the #1 in this division is Terence Crawford); he won the interim WBC lightweight title beating Nihito Arakawa in 2013 (5-stars-fight Figueroa vs Arakawa) and he defeated Jerry Belmontes in his first bout of 2014 (=Figueroa vs Belmontes).
His opponent, Daniel Estrada, has a record of 32-2-1 (24 knockouts) and he entered as the No.30 in the same weight class, he suffered his second defeat in 2010 when he faced Reyes Sanchez (via split decision), since then he has collected nine consecutive wins. Figueroa vs Estrada is valid for the WBC lightweight title (Figueroa’s second defense); undercard of Shawn Porter vs Kell Brook. Watch the video and rate this fight!
