Review: 2013-07-27, the fight between Omar Figueroa Jr and Nihito Arakawa was an absolute war from the first bell: a toe-to-toe battle with two knockdowns and a tremendous pace…everything you could want from a candidate for Fight of the Year 2013, it gets five stars! Congratulations to both boxers for the amazing performance, Compubox punching statistics showed that ‘Panterita’ Figueroa landed a total of 480 of 942 punches (51% accuracy rate) compared to 280 of 1170 for Arakawa (24% accuracy rate). The undefeated Omar Figueroa (21-0-1, 17 KOs) entered as the No.23 lightweight in the world while Nihito Arakawa (24-2-1, 16 KOs) entered as the No.14. Figueroa vs Arakawa is valid for the interim WBC lightweight title; undercard of Andre Berto vs Jesus Soto Karass. Watch the video!

What a war! I thought Arakawa would get blown out in several rounds but he just kept on coming. He should be nicknamed “The Warrior” or “Balls of Steel”. This fight truly is a FOTY candidate.
I couldn’t see the fight due to a stupid and useless claim from CBS regarding copyrights. This is disgusting for a fight that has already been done.
thx for upload the fight
I finally saw the video and it was a very excellent fight. Figueroa is a much better boxer than Arakawa however he put a very good fight on the last three rounds showing great resilience. Arakawa’s chin is made of steel despite the fact of having felt down twice during the fight. The fight really earned the 5 starts.
to upload the video is fine but do it in english
anybody got link for full fights? would love to see them
Damn .. what a fight ! If Arakawa had more power behind the shots !
