As part of the undercard for Danny Garcia/Granados fight, super bantamweight sensation, Brandon Figueroa (18-0 13 KO's) is back in action on April 20 vs Yonfrez Parejo (23-3).
Figueroa is coming off an extremely impressive win over Moises Flores back in January. Figueroa (22 y/o) showed terrific body work and good power in his strong inside game, beating down Flores in 3 rounds.
Prejo, 32, has been in the ring with Ryan Burnett, losing a one-sided 12 round decision early last year. Prejo doesn't pose a serious threat to Figueroa, but should be able to provide some good in-ring experience. Ranked number 12 by BoxRec, I'm hoping to see Figueroa step up in his next fight.

Re: Brandon Figueroa back in action
Mexican-American Brandon Figueroa received confirmation that on April 20 he will compete with Yonfrez Parejo in California for the WBA interim-super bantamweight championship, hoping to add a new title for the family, after his brother Omar conquered the lightweight of the World Boxing Council years ago. This kid is exciting to watch.
