    Santana has an interesting story, he escaped Cuba in a raft following his sweetheart .Had a decent amateur background but wasn't somebody of note at the high level. Have a reputation of heavy hitter and good chin. He called himself before the fight a Cuban who fights like a Mexican. Since trained by Rubio- same trainer as rigondeaux- his boxing skills have improved, he's more patient and better balance. Learning and only 24 yrs old. Next to rigondeaux has learned more than 2 things.

    He reminds me of Ríos, body type, movements, looks, but he's a better boxer.

    not really...santana is stiff as a board, but he packs so much into every punch that he can get away with that ****...brandon moves from side to side a lot, and crouches....this dude is as straight as they come, but his hands make him hella dangerous....not to mention his sniper like reflexes....kind of reminded me of kostya tsyzu

    I was impressed with Santana and would love to see him fight again. He's the little guy who gets picked on by a bully then boxes the bully's ears off and KTFO him.

    Santana still has rough edges, but is smoothing them down.

    This KO is from 2009:
    [yt]f1QvATCP1eM[/yt]

    Here are his last three:
    [yt]FgEbDSBTq_o[/yt]
    [yt]HgQ0S8Me0wc[/yt]
    [yt]9I_thpKJwGw[/yt]

    Guerra la Cobra! He can definitely make some waves in the 135-140 range.

    Impressive so far, he's scored 7 KOs in a row.
