Brandon Figueroa vs Julio Ceja Fight Ends in Split Draw
November 23: Las Vegas, USA
Undefeated Brandon Figueroa retained his world title but suffered the first blemish on his professional record. Mexican veteran Julio Ceja gave the 22-year-old Figueroa the most
difficult fight of his career, a back-and-forth brawl in which both boxers bombed away to each other's head and body for 12 rounds.
When their entertaining encounter ended, judge Lisa Giampa had Ceja ahead, 116-112, and judge Glenn Trowbridge scored it 115-113 for Figueroa. Judge Don Trella scored it even, 114-114,
which rendered their fantastic fight a split draw at MGM Grand Garden Arena.
