Undefeated Figueroa unanimously outpoints Burns (The Associated Press)
Undefeated Omar Figueroa unanimously outpointed Scotland’s Ricky Burns on Saturday in a super lightweight fight on the Premier Boxing Champions on CBS card at State Farm Arena. In front of a raucous hometown crowd, Figueroa improved to 25-0-1. ”Fighting a fight like that, it takes a lot to go even four rounds, much less 12,” Figueroa said. ”We knew it was going to be a tough fight, but I didn’t agree with the deductions for holding,” Burns said.
