Unbeaten WBA interim super bantamweight champion Brandon “The Heartbreaker” Figueroa (20-0, 15 KOs) scored a punishing and one-sided fourth round KO over Javier Chacon (29-5-1, 9 KOs) on Saturday night at the Bert Ogden Arena in Edinburg, Texas.
Figueroa teed off to the body and head from the opening bell and Chacon absorbed it with little offense going back. Finally in the fourth round, Chacon had taken enough and sank to the canvas for the count. Time was 2:00.
“He wasn’t throwing punches so I had to get in there and rough him up,” said Figueroa. “He didn’t want to fight my game so I had to punish him and I caught him with a good right hook.”

They probably want to build him up to make a lot of money before the handlers find out if he can compete with the top fighters. Not a wise thing to do if they want a future champion, but a way to make money at little or no risk. I don’t like watching mismatches, so maybe their approach will backfire in the long run. Figueroa has the potential to be a really good one.
Who was that red lipstick wearing chick, chewing gum and recording the fight with her cell phone? She REALLY got on my nerves!
When do these brothers fight someone in their own league?
