Brandon Figueroa Stops Yonfrez Parejo To Win WBA Int. Title
Brandon Figueroa stopped Yonfrez Parejo to win the WBA interim junior Featherweight title On Saturday night in Danny Garcia-Adrian Granados undercard at Dignity Health Sports Park.
The fight started out a much more competitive back and forth battle, which lasted for the first five rounds. Figueroa constantly attacked the Veteran Venezuelan with body shots and this began giving its dividends after the fifth round.
Parejo started retreating and Figueroa sensing blood, chased his opponent around the ring and stopped him from escaping, handing him the punishment there on the ropes.
This continued in the remaining rounds and by the eight round, Parejo’s corner had seen enough of the one sided beating and had to stop the fight, handing Figueroa the win.
