— Figiredo is a dangerous opponent. He’s a former flyweight champion, but it almost didn’t work out there, and now he’s stepped up. He’s on a hot streak. His fight with Vera — Vera only fought Shawn for five rounds in his prime, was a top contender, and Figueredo just came out and got the job done. I talked to him. Very physically strong, rocky, uncomfortable.
Peter challenged him to fight a long time ago, as soon as he moved up to bantamweight. This fight has been a long time coming, and both are top fighters for the belt. This is a serious fight for Peter and Figueredo,” Khamzin told .
