Omar Figueroa
Figueroa will dismantle Arakawa early in the fight. Figueroa is the real deal and at only age 23, in the lightweight division, the ceiling is high. Omar Figueroa Jr. by TKO in Round 4.

Omar’s last knockout was a statement and his ability to switch from orthodox to southpaw makes him a tough boxer to get used to. Figueroa by early stoppage.

“Panterita” is the real deal. This isn’t the matchup where we learn what he’s really made of. The only question here is will Figueroa KO Arakawa or win by decision. I’m going with mid-rounds knockout.
