5/15 PBC on SHO: Luis Nery vs Brandon Figueroa (WBC Super Bantamweight Title)

[focusloco]

That card was a boxing fan appreciation card....so much good shyt...maybe not so heavy on the defense and finesse side of the game but to watch these dudes heart determination and will was a beautiful thing to watch

How many boxers are household names in 2021? Garcia created his own push with his social media presence, the majority of these boxers are lacking in how they self-promote themselves.

you just said that Fox pushed him, when and where?

dude has barely over 15k followers on instagram for a world champ

I'm talking bout in terms of fight cards and placements, the rest of that shyt is up to the boxers on their end to up their social media presence, which most of them don't do. dude has been steadily fighting on FS1 and Fox for years now, it ain't like he's been buried. Saying a Fig brother hasn't been pushed is a weird ass angle to take, Haymon loves them dudes.

 

[patscorpio]

its a 122 fight though, and he still fought like that at 118

he can’t handle pressure, used to his power being the difference, never saw a short strong hook this fight

True..when you cant weight bully..you get bullied

we are talking of different pushes(nh)

young fighters are definitely gonna get pushed but he has never been promoted by fox or pbc as a star

you cant find anything on him on any social media of them before this

He had an entire 30 minute PBC on FOX Countdown episode devoted to one of his past fights, It aired on FS1, on TV.... There are clips of it floating around on twitter etc.

What more did you want from a then 22 year old unproven prospect? There are key/major fighters on other networks that haven’t received that level of shine. This is back when FOX and FS1 were doing those Countdown shows for every main event every month that aired on FOX and FS1, regardless of them being on PPV.....those were the good old days of PBC on FOX promo.

The pandemic messed it all up.

I’m just shocked that showtime didn’t pick up the slack with the promo though.

Figueroa did show another dimension of body punching from a taller guy

never seen Figueroa being promoted as a top talent before this

trust me when i say that every other promotional company promotes their future stars. Top Rank- Shakur, Golden Boy- Ortiz, PBC- that bum Joey

Smh I just seen Nery lost, there was a clear level difference in skills this zombie mfer just kept eating his punches
Fulton finally beats his ass

 

[R=G]

Forgot about this..damn

 

[Bigblackted4]

Shoutout to my dumb ass changing my bets at the last minute. Thank god I bet a stoppage by either guy or I’d be pissed. Had figgy as a nice underdog and got scared.

“maybe not so heavy on the defense and finesse side of the game”


Which is exactly why i turned the main event off. Sitting through a card where where there was little to no defense left me worn out by the time the main event got underway

 

[Achille]

Entertaining card with some exciting fights.

 

[Apollo Creed]

Fell asleep. Fig was the underdog too for betting damn
