Justin “Mr. Atlantic City” Figueroa finally settled his unfinished business with Luis Caraballo Ramos on Friday, November 13, stopping the Puerto Rican in the fourth round of their middleweight rematch at the Tropicana’s Showroom in Atlantic City. The scheduled eight-round main event had carried extra tension after their March meeting at the same venue ended in a no contest. This time, Figueroa left no uncertainty about the winner, scoring three knockdowns in the fourth before the fight was waved off.
Figueroa established his accuracy early, landing cleanly in the opening two rounds while Ramos continued to press forward. Ramos had moments of success in the third, but the hometown fighter’s heavier punches gradually took control. A body shot sent Ramos down early in the fourth. Ramos rose twice after further punishment, only for a third knockdown of the round to end the contest. Ringside reporting from Boxing Insider described Figueroa as composed throughout the rematch despite the friction between the fighters in the buildup.
The win closes a chapter that began with a controversial March ending, when an accidental foul stopped their first fight before a decision could be reached. For Figueroa, it is also a useful step toward bigger opposition: he has developed a following at the Tropicana, but a nationally ranked contender would be a more demanding test of his ceiling. The same local card saw John Leonardo stop Kevin Nunez in the third round. Friday’s result supplies the genuine new development beyond BoxingAndBasketball.com’s previously published weigh-in coverage.
