Justin Figueroa lands a right hand on Luis Caraballo Ramos during their middleweight rematch at Tropicana Atlantic City

Justin Figueroa left no doubt this time. “Mr. Atlantic City” settled his rematch with Luis Caraballo Ramos by fourth-round stoppage on Friday night at The Showroom at Tropicana Atlantic City, headlining a seven-fight Boxing Insider Promotions card that produced four stoppages.

The rematch was eight months in the making. The two met in the same ring in March, and that fight ended in a no contest in the third round after an accidental foul left Caraballo Ramos unable to continue. On Friday, Figueroa controlled the scheduled eight-rounder behind his jab, taking over in the third with sharp combinations while Caraballo Ramos stayed aggressive but could not close the gap.

The end came quickly in the fourth. A body shot put Caraballo Ramos down early in the round. He rose, and Figueroa put him down again with a straight right, then a third time with a chopping overhand right, and referee David Franciosi stopped the fight.

“I’d like to take this chance to apologize to absolutely nobody,” Figueroa said afterward. The win moves the Atlantic City native to 15-0 with 12 knockouts. Caraballo Ramos, of Trujillo Alto, Puerto Rico, falls to 8-11-1. The card, streamed live and free on the Boxing Insider YouTube channel, was the promotion’s 22nd professional show and its last of 2026.
