And good scoring Evander

[lazboy]

I've heard good things about Nery, (although never really watched him) including he is a good opponent for Inoue. Let's have a good look at him now. Hoping for a good fight.

[margaret thatcher]

nery fighting wild is good for brandon, nery has more tools but not using them much in first minute

wtf is up with brandons back btw

[skanksta]

10-9 Nery.
He landed a big punch and almost scored a KD.

[Evander]

Round 1

Scrappy and messy round, bit of holding and lunging punches from both boxers.
Close could have been a draw, however.

1-0 Figueroa

[margaret thatcher]

imo nery is too open and wild to beat inoue

[margaret thatcher]

nery round for me, rocked brandon a bit near the end there too

[lazboy]

Wow this is good stuff. Nery landing some hard body punches. He takes rd 1 however it was competitive.

[skanksta]

Heartbreaker comes storming back with intense desire.

19-19.

A few rounds of this PBC card is better than the entire Matchroom UK output.

[Evander]

Round 2

It's not pretty.
Figueroa lunging and wading in missing a lot.
Nery doesn't have much going on in the boxing department but more effective at close quarters.

1-1

[margaret thatcher]

2-0 nery

nery with much higher quality punching, more accurate. but he's getting into a bit of a slugging match here and that's what figgy wants

[Evander]

Round 3

Figueroa is flapping around like a pelican that can't take flight, his positioning and lead up shots are terrible.
Nery better on the inside.

2-1 Nery

[lazboy]

Nery getting the best of it.
2-0 Nery

some exciting exchanges, doubt they can keep this pace up. Wondering how much Fig can take. Only so many hard clean body punches someone can take.

[margaret thatcher]

3-0 nery

fun action! but brandon basically using his face for defense that round
