  • Omar Figueroa Jr. came out with an intense attack against Antonio DeMarco as he controlled the first half of the fight, applying constant pressure as he leaned on his opponent and unloaded with both hands.

Figueroa imposed his will in the first half of the fight, keeping DeMarco pinned on the ropes and hammering him with a relentless flurry of shots.

DeMarco, though, managed to figure out a way to both pivot out and punch his way out as the fight went on, starting in the seventh round.

Although DeMarco started connecting with the bigger shots, Figueroa’s output never seemed to slow.

DeMarco continued to rally over the later rounds, and he punished Figueroa in the 11th with an uppercut along the ropes that injected doubt into what had seemed like a certain outcome.
