Texas native Brandon “The Heartbreaker” Figueroa dominated by technical knockout in three rounds Moises “Chucky” Flores in the World Boxing Association (WBA) super bantamweight title eliminator bout held at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, California.
 
At the sound of the bell Figueroa went out to fight and immediately hurt Flores with blows to the face and stomach. In the third round the fight was suddenly over, as the American sent his opponent to the canvas on two occasions forcing the referee to step in and stop the fight.

With this victory Figueroa is placed as a challenger to the regular crown of the WBA that the Mexican-American champion Daniel Roman has held for two years.
