    What are your thoughts on this fight? Having never seen neither fight, how good are they? I'm guessing Santos is the favourite, but how good is he really?

    Im a big Yuri fan, yeah he isnt a banger...not at all!! but i love his slick boxing and his footwork is 10/10.

    Ill be screaming he can dance and punch with way to a points win!!

    Go Yuri!!!
     

  6. Wrong. Santos is -200. He's the underdog.

    I like Santos as a fighter but the man just doesn't fight enough... It eventually catches up.

    Against Foreman, Santos should be alright but against a guy a notch above, his inactivity would backfire..
     
  8. Santos is going to Ko Yuri just like he did Alcine. Yuri is a runner and he's been quoted as saying he doesn't want to cause any punishment to his opponent in the ring. The guy is in the wrong sport.

    Minus 200 makes Santos the favorite.

    Minus means hes the favorite ******. That means you have to lay 200 to win 100.:patsch

    And Santos should win he's just a better fighter. I have honestly never hated a fighter more then I hate Yuri Foreman. He's just terrible.

    Santos by KO and I'll go to sleep happy.

    Daniel Santos is a good fighter when he wants to fight. Unfortunately he seems to be always be stuck in some lengthened period of inactivity. Yuri Foreman is a solid slick boxer with tremendous footwork. I just can't think of one fight Foreman has been in where there's been any sort of action it. He dominates with quick (but relatively light fisted) combinations and gets out of there.

    I think he'll beat Santos based on the fact that Santos is inactive and probably won't have a clue as to how to handle the faster, sleeker fighter.

    But I'm pulling for Daniel Santos. Big time.

    Hopefully Santos wins.But his age and inactivity might affect him.

    Will be a interesting clash of styles.

    Agreed. That said, it's a relatively poor choice for a lead in to the main event. I'd want something to wake up the crowd...and there's a chance that Yuri will put em to sleep.

    I think it's more than just a chance:lol::D

    He''ll probbaly go defensive after he feels Santos's power.

    But then again Santos might come out counterpunching which would also be...slightly boring most likely.

    We will see.Hopefully the Puertorican wins and gets rid of Don King nad fights 3 times/year.
