He’S the southpaw out of san diego california, he’s ranked 14th out of 367 uh in the states in the welter division and he’s ranked 27th out of 1643 worldwide, and they say that he is just under manny pacquiao for the ratings wow yeah.
So this um this guy honestly, i got to watch him um giovanni santillian and angel ruiz uh.
They delivered an entertaining scrap friday night guy.
Like guys, i can’t urge you more to go and watch this uh.
It was.
It was a brilliant, brilliant fight, but it was santillion in his damaging left uppercut that ultimately prevailed.
Santillion 28-0-15 knockouts scored a unanimous decision.
Uh the scores were 100 to 90, 100 to 90 and 99 to 91 over ruiz who was 17 and two with 12 knockouts.
The fight was the co-main event for the espn plus card headlined by the uh, navarete and gonzalez fight.
So if you guys had a chance to go back and watch that the undercard you know the undercard was was great, it was, it was good fights all the way around uh.
You know the navarate card was was decent friday night for sure and navarate came through with a brilliant victory himself on that one uh damaging up damaging up his opponent very badly man uh, i don’t know if you guys, saw all the shots afterwards after that fight, Then everett descartes but um he was, he was bloodied and battered.
Oh, you didn’t you check out the santillion fight there is that where yeah yeah yeah no no problem, man trust me, it’s worth it’s worth.
Every penny go back.
You want to watch this straight from the beginning, guys and um.
You know, don’t watch the highlights.
Watch this.
It’S since hillian landed 216 power punches in the fight compared to 144 by ruiz, and then he also landed 256 punches overall ruiz scored on the opening rounds.
Most damaging punch with a winding left uppercut, he landed ten power punches compared to six by santillion uh by the second.
It was clear that many rubles uh train ruiz was continually looking to land a huge shot, but it was centilian who would successfully stick to that script and come out with the victory in the end santillion.
You know not a lot of people have.
I guess not a lot of people know about this guy, but you know this kid’s, undefeated and uh.
You know and he’s doing it he’s doing it.
Big man he’s 28-0 with 15 knockouts he’s got such an impressive record uh.

He was born in san diego.
He became part of boxing at a very young age.
He started at eight years old and has been full steam ahead ever since fighting in over 80 amateur fights, his style is derived from his rigorous training in cuba and mexico, where he competed in numerous boxing tournaments.
Now, as a professional, his record, his record is not only impressive, but it’s also rare, it’s rare to find these guys with those big numbers.

It’S devastating man, devastating the power punches.
His kicked in land uh.
That fight honestly, i believe, was almost almost still the show to be honest.
I i think it might have stole the show for me um, the the navarete fight.
The main event was just not as exciting as these two guys were banging it out from the beginning.
The time that fight started to the end until it went to the cards it was, it was brilliant man and uh.
