This guy has truly disrespected the sport coming in like that ... to make things worse he was getting beat up by light puncher ... he just made it seem like a championship wasn't to be cherished ... not to mention the inactivity. I seriously thought that he was going to get knocked out by Foreman ... who fought good by the way but isn't all that good in my opinion ... Foreman boxed very good ... showed that he wasn't intimidated and took the title.
I know. The guy wins the belt in spectacular fashion against Alcine in Alcine's backyard, does not fight for at least a year and comes into the ring in that condition. Daniel Santos could have been much more than what he is now but unfortunately he has made some baffling decisions in his career.
Daniel Santos duck is cooked... His best punch has always been a right "Butt" Or Left "Clash". Lucky dude didn't face anyone with "True" power last night, or he'd be asleep. That said, Foreman did his thing & IMO he defo punches harder than his record show's. (when he became aggressive he looked like he was punching hard) Santos is over, goodbye once a year fighter.
I think its a mind state, if you're going to commit to put hurt on your opponent then you're going to show something ... but if you're objective is just to box then you're not going to show. Not one punch knockout power, but a balance of power - to where you can get some knockdowns and some stoppages. I think that Santos should've been stopped but thats just my opinion -
I thought this fight was going to completely suck. And it really wasnt that bad. Santos looked like a complete mess. Foreman took advantage of it. His footwork was great as always, but I definitely thought he was more aggressive and used his combinations well. Props to Foreman for putting his foot on the gas when he needed to.
I seriously thought that he was going to land one punch on Foreman and get him out of there ... it was Foremans first title shot and he wasn't considered a puncher.
Still upset over the Margarita fights ? You are right though....he is done....what an embarrassment....he actually said before the fight that he was in the best condition of his life because of the high exposure....what a joke !!!!
