“I never underestimate any opponent ahead of a fight,” the 22-year-old Figueroa said Tuesday at the Panterita Boxing Club in Weslaco, Texas. “I train hard for every fight like it’s the biggest fight of my life. We’re working on my power, my speed and my defense. I have to work on all of that to be at the world class level.”
